DEATH CLAIMS N. Y. SENATOR.
Continued from page 1.)

Laughlin who had held it for 40
years.
At the democratic national conven-
ton which nominated Alton B. Park
er, the task of inducing southern
leaders to remain in line following the
arrival of the famous gold telegram"
fell on McCarren.
McCarren's opposition to the can
didacy of William R. Hearst for gov
ernor, led to the charges of treason
against him and his delegates were
excluded from the party convention
in April, 1908, to name delegates to
go to the Denver national convention.
Nevertheless he appeared in Denver
with delegates who were again re-
jected His downfall was then con-
fidently predicted but only the last
month he received what he regarded
as final vindication when he won 10
of the 2S districts of his borough.
Mr.. McCarren was courteous in
manner, but nggardly of speech. The
qualities which in the opinion of his
friends contributed most to his sue
cess were keenness, tenacity of pur-
