night before the convention
TIME TO TAKE A STAND
ct offered that resolution said ex-Repre
sentative Douglas after adjournment peoau'o
thought it was time that the state committee
took a stand for the nomination OF IoFerhoi
Hughes at Chicago. I spoke of my in'entioh 10
five members OF the state committee before We
met and they tried to dissuade me from inlro-
ducins the resolution L put in to-day don
care whether State Chairman Woodruff hKes IL
or not The Republicans generally want
Hughes for President, and il is time that the
state committee put itself on record. III any
man in the committee to-day is opposed to the
nomination of Hughes he had chance to say so
when offered the resolution
There WAS no objection to the Endorsement OF
the Governor" said State Chairman Woodruff
..I never have been against such Endorsement
When / was asked about IL yesterday saio
that L did not expect to offer a resolution. as
the action of the state committee could in no
way bind the state convention"
Roy POLITICS SAYS LOUIS PAYN.
-I. was q piece Of asinine politics" said Louis
is the 7th of March and the nationel convention
Is IN. middle Of June How do we know what
will hsnpen between now and the 1st day of
June7 Mr Taft OF Mr.. Hughes or any other
candidate may between now and June say or
do something that will render him aosoiutey
impossible as q candidate. L am an old-fash-
toned Republican. and am not used to boy poi
ittcs The friends of Governor Hughes should
at the proper time pick out four men for oeie-
gates-st-large who are known TO be uprigh'
Republicans and loyal to the Governor, and they
should not be instructed for the Governor or
auv one else 1t is an insult TO the intelligence
of real Republican delegate-at-large TO IN
struct him three months in advance TO vote SO
and so II should be chosen as a delegate and
any one should get up in convention and resolve
to instruct me how TO vote 1 would resent it on
the spot In fact. i would not accept an cleo
ton in such circumstances To-day's action is
unfortunate for Mr.. Hughes II he falls it Will
be more on account Of his fool friends than his
enemies The resolution offered to-day was not
well received as every could see. 1t was a
piece of fool politics
-T think the resolution good thing.
voted for IT," said George w Aldridge.
FASSETT Is FACETTOUS.
Representative ]. Sloat Fassett facetiously
congratulated Charles ". Anderson the negro
internal revenue collector, in these words:
Charlie. i heard your applause for your chief.
1t was grand. You always did lend color to q
state committee meeting"
The Republicans up the state viii be glad
that the resolution was put through" said
Charles II. Belts. of Wayne. The politicians
CO not warm the Governor, but the people
ike him II really makes but little difference
what the politicians like do not like If the
people are enthusiastically for it The people in
the end usually have their way"
NO STATEMENT FROM GOVERNOR
When an effort was made to Governor
Hughes at the Hotel Astor Colonel Treadwel
his military secretary. said the Governor was
too busy receive any one prior to his de-
parture. Colonel Treadwell said he was sure
that the Governor would not make a statement
relative TO the action of the state committee AZ
7his time
Y expected just such action" said General
Stewart L. Woodford. president OF the Hughes
National League. ~of course I am deeply graf
fled i believe It expresses the purpose of q
united Republican party in New York If New
York stands resolutely and honestly by Gov
= ernor Hughes / expect his nomination at Chi
