BARNES ON HUGHES
ADMITS STRENGTH.
Says GoUernor Night Compel
HIS denomination.
Tsy Telegraph TO The Tribune. ]

Albany. Dee. An editorial which ap-
peared to-day I'm The Albany Evening
Journal which is controlled by William
Barnes. tr.. state committeeman. discusses
the possibility OF a third term for Governor
Hughes. Mr.. Barnes has been one Of the
leading foes OF the Governor He made
the principal fight against his denomination
at Saratoga a year ago. Commenting on
State Chairman Woodrufr-s recent inter-
view. the editorial says. In part:
The only object which Mr. Woodruff can
possibly have in publishing an interview
OF this kind at present is 10 serve notice
gantzation is concerned. the members OF
H.. expressing themselves through him.
VIII not engage in any movement 10 pre-
vent the Governors denomination.
We infer that Mr.. Woodruff endeavored
10 impress upon the Republicans OF this
state the Importance of the approaching
ship Of New York would go a long dis
lance toward rehabiltating the national
Democratic party, discft diting at the same
time the high motives and efficiency OF the
Taft administration.
We assume that Mr.. Woodruff intended
TO let the republicans OF the state know
that in his capacity state chairman he
does not favor ructtOn He believes APP
parently that II Governor Hughes should
years ago. a candidate for Governor he
will have sufficient following I'm this state
which is not closely affiliated with the Re-
publican party. which. If the Republicans
should in convention refDa the Governor
a denomination. would be aroused 10 in
temperance by the Democracy because
OF the Governors turn-dOwn. SO that they
would either not vote at all or else would
help TO elect the Democratic candidate Tor
Governor This responsibility he believes
the regular Republicans OF the state ought
not 10 assume.
Mr.. WOodruffs position is logcal. He
understands the difficulties. especially IN
h. ~ssr~ - .-Ly rrrtrh r1rhf nh n
licans are confronted. But the fact re-
mains that although a year ago the state
convention could have nominated some
other candidate than Governor Hughes
without fear OF the loss of the state. now
in an off year. with no Presidential ticket
running. any ructiOn would be hazardous
The situation. therefore, can be summed
up. as for as the Republican party In this
state is concerned. as follows: Governor
Hughes. by becoming a candidate for Gov
ernor. would probably compel his nominal
ton on the rule-Or-ruin theory Appar-
emily the responsibility IS all his. unless by
some act of his own he makes himself an
utterly unavailable candidate
