.ST|MSON SLATED
FOR GOVERNOR
New York Republicans Spend
Day Discussing Planks
for Platform
PRESIDENT TAFT ENDORSED
Governor Hughes Also Comes
In for Generous Share
of Praise.

Saratoga, N. Y, Sept. 2S.-Chang-
ing the political order this morning
caused the rubbing from the proposed
gubernatorial slate of the names of
Harvey D. Hinman and ]. Mayhew
Wainwright, When the conferees
who were fixing up the slate met be-
fore the Republican convention this
morning it was discovered that former
United States Attorney Henry L.
Stimson had developed great strength
and appeared the most likely nominee
for governor. The discussion of the
platform probably will take the major
portion of the day. And it is probable
that it will be evening before the con-
vention gets down to the work of
naming the ticket. The work of draft
ing the platform occupied the commit
tee on resolutions the greater part of
the night, and it was daybreak before
it was given out. The platform warm
ly endorses the administration of
President Taft and Governor Hughes.
The platform declares further that
the Payne tariff law has been a sue
cess and refers with approval to the
work of the last Congress. 1t pledges
a continuance of the probe into state
graft until all wrong doing capable
of expose shall be brought to light +"
The plank relating to the direct pri-
maries was very brief, but admits that
"a promise of legislation which will
enact those principles into law" is
the pledge. On graft, the platform
says: 'We urge relentless war
against official and legislative wrong
doing in this state. Dishonesty in
public Office is the most fragrant
of crimes. In ridding our state of this
cancerous growth we know no party
distinction Of the tariff, the plat
form says: "The Payne tariff law re
duced the average rate of all duties
eleven per cent, by increasing the
duties of some luxuries and articles
not of common use, making, however,
no increase on any articles Of COM
mon consumption. 1t has turned a
national deficit into a surplus.
I'm providing for a tariff board, it
affords the means of still more ac-
curately determining the differences
in cost of production at home and
abroad. The advances in the cost of
living are only the local reflection of
a tendency worldwide and cannot be
truthfujly said to be due to the
present tariff

over this free country a revolt against
the time-worn form of political organ

endum, the recall, the direct election
of senators and the direct nomina-

people of our country feel that the
political organizations do not ade-
quately furnish the voters of our po-
liical parties the means to give eff
feet to their political will"
