Bitter Fight Is Brewing
For New York Republicans
Roosevelt Is Claiming Victory For Progressves In Coming
Convention While Leaders of the Opposition Are Fully
AS Confident That Vice President Sherman Will
Be Made Chairman and Lead the Policies
of the State Campaign

New York, September 23.-The pre-con-
vention fight between the republican old
guard and the progressives virtually
ences with politicians from various parts
of the state. Colonel Roosevelt said the
chances for victory were even better
than yesterday when he predicted that
the progressives would have majority
of at least 100 delegates at the Saratoga
convention next week. He had received
assurances of support, he said, in sew
eral new quarters today, although he
did not go into particulars as to who
had gone over to the side of the pro-
gressives
Colonel Roosevelt spent some time in
going over the draft of a platform with
John A. Sleicher and James B. Reynolds,
who are working with the understand
ing that nothing definite shall be decided
upon until after the upstate delegates
have been consulted at Saratoga. A di-
rect primary plank in particular was con-
sidered at length but no one was willing
to say how 1t should be shaped. Tariff
and labor plans also received careful con-
sideration.
There was some talk of candidates for
governor, but nothing in the nature of
an agreement was reached. Colonel
Roosevelt said to every one who went to
him with boom that the selection of
candidates must be left entirely to the
delegates as a whole.
The Roosevelt forces will move on Sar-
atoga tomorrow, but Colonel Roosevelt
will not go until early Monday morning.
There was some talk of the state chair
manship today, and the name of Mr..
Collins was presented to Colonel Roose-
welt as successor to Timothy Woodruff, in
case the Roosevelt forces are able to
name their own chairman. Colonel Roose-
velt declined to express his preferences.
but 1t Is understood that Mr.. Collins will
have strong support. Mr.. Griscom is not
looking for 1t.
II have enough to keep me busy in New
York county," he said. II am not a can
didate for state chairmanship and would
not accept it,

Old Guard Goes to Saratoga

Saratoga, N. Y, September 23-Pre-
pared for one of the btterest struggles
in the annals of republican politics for
lfontrol of the state convention the old
guard moved on Saratoga tonight. Tim
othy L. Woodruff, chairman of the state
committee, has opened headquarters at
the United States hotel. He admits the
contest will be close, but is still firm in
his belief that the convention will indorse
the selection of Vice President Sherman
by the state committee as its temporary
chairman, despite the predictions of The
odore Roosevelt.
1T Is quite true" said Mr.. Woodruff,
I'VE have lost delegates from districts
we had reason to expect would support
Mr.. Sherman but as an offset to these
losses we have assurances from other
sources that other delegates claimed by
the progressives will be recorded in the
Sherman column. ! am of the opinion
that the Vice President will be elected"
William Barnes, Jr., had long confer
ence with Chairman Woodruff tonight.
Both told other leaders who dropped into
headquarters that the battle for delegates
would be close. On the subject of the
platform Mr. Barnes had this to say:
1.-The very language of the platform
will determine whether the republican
party is for progress without disturbance
or disturbance in the name of progress
The conservative is a man who says
whatever is good is good, although it may
be made better. The radical declares
that everything is bad and must be
changed Immediately. That is his con-
struction of mind regardless of what
progress Is made"

the Illinois democratic state convention
here today. AS a member of the resolu-

Sullivan. national committeeman of the
democratic party in Illinois, not to assert
himself. The platform adopted was dit
ferent in many planks from the draft
which the committee took into IT'S
room. Soon after they entered loud
words were heard. These were from
Browne, who called some members OF
the party who recently met at Peoria,
"blackmailers."
Browne was named on the resolutions
committee by members of the Twelftn
senatorial district delegation His name
was hissed and cheered by delegates.
In reading the list of members OF the
committee the secretary read the name
.sL. O. Browne" a delegate asked: WHO
is this L. o. Browne?"
The question was ignored by the chair
man and when the delegate insisted upon
a. reply, Browne arose and cried: IF the
gentleman wishes information / am the
man to give 1t to him."
He was not allowed to reply and Con-

After the convention was brought to a

The democratic party, according to the

was elected by the votes of some of Its
party but does not assume that it has
any political interest in Senator Lorimer
and the election is deplored.

Those words were eliminated by the COM
