Wadhan1s Endorses Stimson.

Ex-Judge William H. Wadhams. who
Cowden Myers. as the man who had
done more than any other for the cause
of direct primaries, Endorsed Henry l..
Stimson on the direct primary issues as
a man Of the Hughes type, imbued with
the principles of Charles f. Hughes.
He contrasted the clear and definite
programme Of the Republican party on
that issue with the dubious pronounce
ment of the Democrats. as exemplified
in their platform, which must be read
in the light Of the acts of the men who
represented that party in killing the
Hughes direct primary bills.
Turning to the candidates Judge
Wadhams read portions OF an article To
appear in Golfers Weekly this week
comparing John J. Kernedy's activities
as a Buffalo alderman with those Of
'Hinky- Dink" and "Bathhouse John
in Chicago. He asked how the people
would like a man of that type as Treas
urer.
Judge Wadhams produced a scrap
book. kept, he said, by man who had
been benefited by the forest preserva-
ton Of Northern New York, and read
therefrom of John A Dix's connection
with the grab OF the Forestry Water
Storage and Manufacturing Association.
He read from The New York Herald
and The World" which are supporters
Of John A. Dix. denunciatons of the
Lewis water storage bill, which, they
said. under the guise of a conservation
measure. aimed TO despOiI the state for
the benefit of the pulp manufacturers.
The third name on the list of the men
behind the bill was that "eminently re-
spectacle man, John \. Dix" who was
denounced as a conspirator against the
public interest.

first vice-president." He then continued:
This Is the same Huppuch whom Mr.. Dix
and Mr.. Murphy have made chairman or
the Democratic State Committee to aid Mr..
DIX in denouncing the Republican party for
not revising the tariff downward. What in

these two positions, one for his private in

ideal Governor Of the state?
In conclusion Senator Root said: Our
party is sound and wholesome. Since
the last election il has given both in
Congress and in our state Legislature. a
great array Of wise and useful legisla-
ton. The administrations of President
Taft in Washington and Governor
Hughes in Albany have been models Of
