SCHENECTADY, ROOSEVELT
"old Guards" Programme Is
Wrecked in Stampede.

Schenectady. N Y Sept I-Harmony
plans went TO smash in the Republican
County Convention held here to-day, and
the carefully arranged programme for the
Endorsement of Viee-Presldent Sherman at
the state convention to be held on Tues
day at Saratoga was wrecked.
Prior to the assembling of the conven-
ton several conferences were held, and
it was thought that the programme would
go through without a hitch, but on the
floor opposition developed and swept every
thing before it. AS a result the eleven
delegates to the state convention from
this county will be pro-Roosevelt-
Just when or by whom the Roosevelt
stampede was started could not be told.
Automatically. almost, the movement be-
gan. and within a short space Of time
ex-state Senator ". W. Wemple, chair
man Of the county committee, saw his
sway over the delegates weakening At
this stage George F. MacKerracher intro
duced motion that the delegates 70 the
state convention be instructed for Roose-
velt, and the motion was carried.
The following delegates were chosen to
the state convention: Lewis L. Lovett,
Van D. Sager, T. !. Macdonald, Mark
Atuesta, Albert Grussner, Robert Van
Valkenburg. z. Z. Relf. Alva H. Fairlee.
Z. H. Keller. Henry HouchI and L Brown.
The fun started when the ''old guard
moved that the convention chairman name
the committee on resolutions. The in
surgents insisted that the committee be
named from the floor, and won on the
rollcau by a majority of three votes. and
from then on they had everything their
own way
Following last nights primaries the in
surgents met in q barn, mapped out q
programme. and this morning had ap-
parently compromised with the organiza-
ton on the final slate.
When the Roosevelt forces discovered
their strength early in the convention they
took things into their own hands and
dealt the "oid guard a crushing blow.

leader, is said to be slated to succeed ez-
Senator Weuple for the county chairman

date. defeated George l. Bostwick. backed

The Roosevelt issue dio not enter into
yesterdays primaries, and the organiza-
ton did not realize that the anti Sherman
sentiment was so strong. The ''oId guard

Utica. n. Y, Sept 2L-A movement to
substitute the name of Senator EIihu Root
for temporary chairman of the Republican
State Convention in the interest OF harmony
was started here to-day. The suggestion
comes from Madison County.
Judge hiley, of Cazenovia, the Republican
leader of Madison County. was in Utica this
afternoon, and declared that the county
was oil ,te in favor Of Senator Root. In a
formal statement Judge Kiley indicates the
belief in his part Of the state that the pres-
entation of Senator Roots name would
eliminate in the convention the differences
Of the Roosevelt-Sherman factions. and ne
urges that such action be taken. His rea-
son is the necessity of concerted effort N
