DIX PLEASES REPUBLICANS
They Think Democrats Have
Done Well for Opponents.
ST!MSON HARD AT WORK
Preparing for Speeches in All
Counties-Hearst May Aid
Republicans.

Henry l.. Stimson. Republican nominee
for Governor. spent yesterday at his office
working on the speech which he viii de-
liver on Thursday, when he is told formally
of his selection TO head the ticket this
campaign. He declined to discuss politics
in any way. He had no comment 20 make
on the nomination of Mr.. Dix and his col
leagues on the Democratic ticket.
II have nothing to say concerning the
nominations of last evening" he declared
In the afternoon Mr. Stimson went TO the
Republican Club reception for President
Taft As he entered the door, shout went
up: Three cheers for our next Governor"
Mr. Stimson laughed and shook hands with
the men who crowded around him. Later
he talked with the President.
Close friends Of Mr.. Stimson are in daily
conference endeavoring to select a state
chairman who will fill the requirements.
The state committee meeting is set for
Tuesday morning. Various men have been
under consideration, among them Repre-
sentative Herbert Parsons, otto T. Ban
nard Naval Office Kracke and Senator
John Rose of Orange County. 1t is
thought though, that the choice will not
fall on any one of these men. There has
been some talk of Lloyd c. Griscon, but
Mr. Griscom doesn't want the place.
Until the formal notification ceremonies
Mr. Stimson will keep himself in the back
ground. Immediately thereafter. as soon
as the state committee can make the ar
rangementr. he will begin his campaign
A trip is being outlined which will take
him into every section. If not actually into
every county of the state. Mr.. Stimson IS
looking forward TO this with much interest.
He tells his friends he has no doubt about
the result and is keen to take off his coat
and work for Republican success. He is
particularly we'll pleased at being able to
run this year as g Progressive, with so
distinctly a Progressive platform voicing
the sentiment of q majority Of the party
Republicans in general are well pleased
at the outlook They think the nomina-
tions made by the Democrats comprise a
splendid ticket-for the Republicans. Party
men at the reception to President Taft
said that they believed the regulation get
together" spirit which had characterized
powerful this year. and that there would
be little detection because of the adoption
OF a Progressive platform at Saratoga.
Nix NIT Dix seems a good slogan to
me-" declared Colonel Michael J. Dady, of
Brooklyn. II think the Democrats have
done very we'll for us, as usual"
Similar sentiments are expressed in the
great mass of letters which Mr.. Stimson
receives daily congratulating him on the
nomination and assuring him of support
on his record as prosecutor of law break
ing corporations and corporation men
Republicans are considerably Interested
in the outcome of the Hearst. convention,
which is TO be held in Cooper Union on
Wednesday night They figure that the
Hearst ticket probably viii be an indorse-
ment in part, at least, of the Republican
ticket The nomination of Dix, they feel
pretty certain. has alienated Mr. Hearst
from the Democrats.
