Albany, April 9.--State Committee
man William Barnes, jr OF this coun-
ty In a statement sent by him 10 the
Twenty-third congressional district
republican convention tonight In ac-
ceptance of election as a delegate to
the republican national convention,
declared that he would not vote at
Chicago for the nomination of Gov
ernor Charles II, Hughes whose po-
litical course he sharply criticised.
lie made 1t plain that his preference
is for Secretary Taft.
Mr. Barnes and Mayor Horace S.
. Van Voast of Schenectady were
elected as delegates TO the Chicago
convention There was no contest.
The delegation Is uninslructed, the
resolutions simply endorsing the adj
ministration Of President Roosevelt
and regretting his rcnunclation Of a
second nomination for the presidency
No recommendation are made, and
there is no mention whatever of Gov
ernor Hughes.
The statement of Mr.. Barnes was
read by County Chairman Warner,
Mr.. Barnes being confined to his home
by a severe cold. This Is what Mr..
Barnes says about Governor Hughes;
THE governor Of the state of New
York is a candidate for the presiden-
tal nomination and should he pledged
TO the record of the party and its fu-
ture cohesiveness. Did | believe that
! such was his attitude | would cheer
fully vote for his nomination at the
Chicago convention. 1t would be the
natural and orderly thing to do; but
confident that ! am, from close ex-
animation of his public utterances and
his record as governor, that there is
In his mind no deep concern for the
party that created him, | cannot JUS
tify myself If ! lend my support to
his candidacy. From his record
learn that he Is an exponent of indi-
vidualism and not the custodian of
honorable party government. Be-
cause of this responsibility to those
who have been his followers and adj
herents | will not be able, In justice TO
my own opinion and to what ] believe
Is best for the nation, to cast my vote
for him at Chicago
Referring to Mr. Taft. Mr.. Barnes
declared that had he not requested
, that those who believe in the wisdom
1 of his candidacy should not interfere
with any OF the so-called 'favorite
sons he would announce his inten-
tion TO support Taft at Chicago.

BOND ISSUE PASSED
Paving Board Gets Authority at
Last to Proceed With
Work.
FOLEY HITS PAY SYSTEM
Shows Defects of That Used In His
Department--Comm TO
Consider.

The board of finance at the meeting
held last night finally made disposl-
ton of the 100000 bond issue which.
the permanent paving commission
watts for the work which 1t has laid
out to have done during the coming
year. The matter has twice been de-
ferred but last night with full board
meeting the issue was authorized with
unanimous consent. This was not
done, however, until Mr.. Miller spoke
in favor Of certain more central street
than those which the commission had
picked out to be paved and which he
thought should be paved first, but as
the rest of the board favored passing
the issue for the streets named he
gave way and the matter went
through. The issue was authorized
and the mayor and controller are to
confer with the corporation counsel
to determine the legal form of the
matter after which 1t will be formal
" passed in that form.
Director of Public Works Foley ap-
peared to request that change be
made in the method of payment in his
department He stated that he CON
sidered the present system quite faulty
and when II was explained by him the
members of the board agreed with
him. He thought that the matter OF
paying the men employed under his

tho matter would be so arranged that
he would have nothing to do with the
matter after he had made up the pay
roll. The members seemed to agree
that the payment should not he done
by the man who did the hiring.
Mr.. Foley showed that the men In
his department did not sign for theil
pay, but that their names were writ.
ten on the roll after payment by q
| clerk. The last payroll was brought
! in and the members saw that the pay
roll names were all signed in the same
handwriting, whereupon they still fur.
ther agreed that change was neces.
! sary.
Mr. Foley explained the looseness oi
the system by stating that If he had
wished TO do so he could have added
i fifty names to the payroll any week OF
men not employed and the money
would be paid to him and no one would
/ know that tho men were not employed
/ Under the present system the con
4 trollcd draws the entire pay for his

he believed to be Illegal as there was
no assignment to him by the employees

The matter was finally referred to q
