 "Our fight is squarely against cor ruption and the unc1ean bossism which has bred corruption. The men, state committee and who now come here in the effort to dominate the convention, are the very men who are responsible for corruption which pro- discreditable in the party manage ment; and now these deeply discredit- ed bosses resent the effort of the peo- pie, the effort of the plain people Republican party, to rescue that par ty from the faction which has used it only to further their own base and selfish purposes"
 Saratoga, Sept 27-so bitter was the feeling today between the two factions in the Republican, party that would be actual fighting before the convention concludes it's work.
 Last nights meeting of the state President sherman as temporary chairman was affirmed, has angered the Roosevelt following. Today they are urging the Colonel to throw the are suggesting that there be nothing in the nature of a compromise but that platform be framed and jam med through which will be ultra-pro- gressive in it's tone.

He refused to give put advance copies, saying that it would be time enough when the se-s lection of chairman had been made.
