Republican platform adopted at Saratoga
and those adopted by the Democrats are
these: Roosevelt new nationalism" is
denounced and against It the Democrats
OFFER the "old nationalism" of the con-
stitution The Republicans at Saratoga
endorsed the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill;
the Democrats at Rochester denounced
that measure and demanded radical tariff
reductions. The Republican platform be-
slows high praise upon the administra-
ton of Governor Hughes; the Demo-
cratic platform severely arraigns the
Hughes administration for the increased
cost of the state government, declaring
that the extravaganza and waste was re-
sponsible for the increase.
The Republicans in the first plank OF
their Saratoga platform decried grtift,
congratulated the Republican legislature
on the appointment of the legislative in
vestigating committee and promised to
continue the work of the Merritt committee
IL that shall prove necessary to make the
work thorough and unsparing. The Dem
ocrats hold continuous Republicanism In
this state directly responsible for the
public corruption that has been exposed
and promise to make more searching
investigation If entrusted with power.
The Saratoga platform simply declares
for the principle of direct primaries
without defining the purpose of the party
definitely on that subject. 1t also de-
clares for personal signature In registra-
ton in New York City only. The Roches-
ter platform declares for statewide pri-
maries by vote of the people and also
for statewide signature law and uni
form safeguards for the ballot"
The Rochester platform demands the
election of United States senators by
popular vote; the Saratoga platform Is
silent on the question. The Democrats
have committed themselves to an income
tax amendment to the federal constitu-
fhn do M
of this in their Saratoga platferm. The
Democratic platform commits the party
in this state to the support In Washing
ton of a limited ship subsidy policy.
Nothing on the subject appears in the
Saratoga platform.
The Democrats say they would put
further restrictions against child labor in
New York. Upon this topic the Repub-
licans said nothing at Saratoga. The
three platoon system for the New York
City police was declared for by the DEM
ocrats, but no mention of that w@s made
by the Republicans.

Gaynor Will Help Dix.
One of the chief reasons for the
nomination of Mr.. Dix, it is learned
was that Mayor Gaynor had expressed
his complete satisfaction with the Sc
