stating that he would bring his i'm

mond providing he was paid 800 per
day: that his pilot receive $775 per day,
that all gas be furnished him free Of
cost, and that he be paid his transpor-
tation expenses. The committee fig
ured that the total cost for one ascen-
sion of Coey's balloon would reach
$500. This would mean an expense
of 81 500 for a race in which three
balloons competed.
The plan to have companies of the

also been practically abandoned ow-

ENEMY MOVES TO MAKE
NOMINATION UNANIMOUS
Wins in Home of Racing-Con-

Hughes Nomination Is
CinChed.

Saratoga, n. Y, Sept. 16.-Charles
Evans Hughes, of New York city, was
nominated Tuesday by the republican
state convention by an overwhelming
majority and on the first ballot, to
succeed himself as governor of the
state of New York. He received S27
out of possible 1,009, as against 151
for James w. Wadsworth. Jr., of Liv-
ingston county, speaker of the state
assembly and 81 for former Congress
man John X. Stewart, of Montgom-
cry.
The nomination was made unani-
nous upon motion of State Committee
man William Barnes, Jr., of Albany,
who has been perhaps the bitterest
and most outspoken opponent of the
governors denomination.
The governors denomination follow
ed the utter failure of desperate
struggle on the part of number of
the county leaders to discover a can
didate upon whom they could unite to
defeat him. The balance of the ticket
was made up in the good old-fashion-
ed way as an organization SLATE -

session of the convention began by

the state committee, after a confer

A BreathIess Hush.
1t was the 1873 votes of all but one
district of New York county that car

ed to nominate. The nine votes of
Nassau county had brought the
Hughes total to 395. Amid a breath
less hush in whichwas incarnated all
the intensity of bitterness and sus-
pense which up to that moment had
characterized the struggle to prevent
the denomination of Hughes, the sec.
retary of the convention called New
York"
Herbert Parsons, president of the
New York County Republican general
committee, rose in his place and said:
New York county, second assembly
district, gives four for Wadsworth
the balance of the county, 1873, for
Charles Evans Hughes"
This brought the Hughes total to
57S. Every person in the great hall
knew that the battle was over and
the place was instantly a bedlam OF
cheering. 1t was really the earlier
action of Kings which signalled wha,
might be called the stampede to
Hughes and when it's 138 votes were
cast in a block for the governor, any
| remaining doubt of his nomination
was swept away.

1T WILL BE HELD IN DELAWARE
COUNTY TOMORROW TO SE-

Muncie, Ind, Sept. 16.-Realizing
that desperate attempt is threatened
by the brewers and saloon forces of
Muncie and the state to carry the spe-
cial election in Delaware county
Thursday by means of colonizing hun
dreds of tramps, toughs and characters
of the worst sort from other cities in
Indiana, the local authorities backed
by the republican county central COM
mittee, and the anti-saloon league and
the good citizens league have outlined
strong measures for combating the
proposed effort at illegal voting.
The various organizations named are
in possession of information in regard
to the colonization scheme and, if the
liquor forces proceed with their in
tentions to vote the strangers, the
county Jail will be taxed to it's utmost
capacity when the sun sets Thursday
night and each and every case the Of
ficials report will be prosecuted to the
fullest extent of the law. That this is
no biuH SLIlu mere POLITICAL Idlk Was
evidenced last night when representa-

lice force and the various organiza-
tions held a conference to exchange
their information and arrange for final
conference today when complete ar
rangements will be made for battling
the liquor forces in their unlawful at
tempts either to elect Otto Williamson,
democrat, as state representative on
Thursday or to reduce the plurality of
Lewis G. Cowing, republican, to such
an extent that the result may be her

overwhelming victory for the demo-
cratic and anti-temperance forces.

Civic League Has Written Ev-
cry Candidate in County,
Asking Their Opinion on the
Subject.
INDICATIONS POINT TO
IMPENDING CONFLICT.
In Event County Option Law
Is Passed and Signed, Bat
tie Against Saloons Will Be
Started.

The Wayne County Civic league has
written to every candidate in the
county, both republican and democrat,
to sound them as to their opinions on
the temperance question. Those cam
didates, whom the league finds to be
in sympathy with the liquor interests,
will, it is understood, receive the Wig
orous opposition of the organization
during the campaign. 1t Is stated that
the league will construe silence on
the part of any candidate to mean he
is not in sympathy with anti-liquor
movement, now sweeping over the
state.
Among the questions put to the can
didates for county commissioner are:
Would you refuse a license to any
person known to be of bad moral char
acter?" and would you revoke the
license of any saloonist if proven to
you that he is not conducting his
place of business properly" These
questions are not quoted literally, but
that is the sense of the interogations
propounded by the league.
1t will be easy for any candidate for
commissioner to make affirmative an
swers to these questions if he so de-
sires, because for years it has been
the custom to refuse licenses to i'm.
proper parties and to revoke the H.
censes of disorderly saloons Just a
few days ago the commissioners re-
fused to grant new license to a local
saloonist because he was convicted
last spring of violating the liquor
laws.
Local Fight Planned.
In the event the legislature passes
| a county local option law at it's ex
| ira session the signature of the COVER
nor will hardly be dry, it is stated
| before the league makes it's first move
in an attempt to drive the saloons out
of this county. Local liquor dealers
| are greatly alarmed over the outlook
| and are already planning to make a
desperate fight to keep this county In
the wet column. The liquor dealers
have sent out the call to their follow
| ers to be ready to muster into service
| on minutes notice. The dry" ar
| my in this county is resting On its
arms and at the present time is in
better state of organization than the

Saloonists to Meet.
1t is probable that in the imme diate
future the liquor dealers of Richmond
Cambridge City and East German
town, the only three wet spots in the
county, will hold meeting. effect ar
organization and make plans for the
prospective clash between their forces
and those of the "drys". This figh,
would be the most sanguinary politi
cal battle ever fought in Wayne coun
ty.

The above statement was made TINS
morning to a Palladium reporter by
Senator Roscoe e. Kirkman just a
short time before he left the city TO
attend the extra session of the legisla-
ture, which convenes Friday.
While Mr.. Kirkman states that he
will support county local option bill
he does not approve of Governor Han
ly's action In calling an extra session
of the legislature. when 1T was
first reported that the governor would
call an extra session of the legisla-
ture, and that his prime motive in so
doing would be to enact county To-
cal option bill. made the statement
that I did not think such measure
should be considered by the legisla-
ture until it had been voted upon by
the people,. stated Mr.. Kirkman.s
Necessary to Pass Bill.
He said that that action of the gov
ernor in demanding immediate action
on the county local option measure
had forced the issue on the republi-
can party and, in accordance with the
ISpuDlSdH SGdlS pluIloilli, IL "odAu M
necessary for the welfare of the party
to pass such a bill in the event it was
presented at the special session.
Mr.. Kirkman's statement that he
will support the county local option
measure for the good of his party,
will undoubtedly meet with the ap-
proval of the temperance faction of
the republican party in Wayne county.
In the fall of 1906 when Mr.. Kirkman
was candidate for state senator from
Wayne and Union counties, he was
violently opposed by this same faction
on the ground that he was not in SYM
pathy with temperance reform meas
ures. One of the local papers at that
time made a bitter personal attack
upon him.
Ratliff Is Silent.
Walter S. Ratliff, representative
from Wayne county, will probably 90
to indianapolis tomorrow. Mr.. Rat
lift was asked to make a statement
as to whether or not he would support
county local option measure at the
special session. He refused to make
u SGdlciIlcul 1t lS the SGueEdl OpIUICIl
that Mr.. Ratliff will vote against the
enactment Oh such a measure.
Senator Kirkman states that he will
oppose lovernor Hanly's vincennes

support to tue enactment of a law
giving the state authority to properly
deal with the night rider problem.
