the withdrawal of Gov. Patterson

by the regular" wing of the Demo-
cratic party, and with convention of
the Independent Democrats scheduled
for Wednesday with most of the dele
gates pledged to the endorsement of
B. w. Hooper. the Republican candi-
date for governor, a condition exists
in this state that has the wisest poll
ticians guessing.
The Independent wing Of the party
had promised It's support to the Re-
publican ticket in return for the Re-
publican vote for an independent
judiciary.
Leaders Of the Patterson faction
have been called to meet here tomor

make to the independent Democrats
in an effort to reunite the party
With Patterson personally out of
the race, many express doubt as to
whether the Independent Democrats
can hold their vote for the Republican
candidates although Hooper, has given
out statement in which he said he
expected the Independent Democrats
to carry out their part of the agree
ment and that it was hardly possi-
BILE to make new alignments at this
late day."

LIBERIA SENDS
APPRECIATION
United States Saved Country
From Being Dismembered
by Europeans

New York. Sept. PA mass meet
ing was held at Monrovia, Liberia, re-
Gently, at which resolutions were
passed thanking all the American
friends of the republic for the aid
rendered that state during the recent
critical period of its history and de-
claring that the hand of the United
States alone saved Liberia from dis
ers of Europe.
News of this meeting, which took
place August Is, has been received
here in document signed by mem-
bers of a committee appointed to voice
the sentiments of the gathering.
The communication says:
NO candid person conversant with
the conditions surrounding us in the
year 1907 would deny that our repub-
lie was in danger of dismemberment
by our European neighbors. We, who
know what the situation was. keenly
realize that we have been saved from
destruction as a nation by the gen.
erous and timely Intervention of the
government of the United States and
our gratitude to the friends who help
ed to bring about that Intervention is
too deep for expression in words.
I'VE wish to express our special OBJ
legation to the many influential states
men and leaders whose aid was in
dispensable to the success of our
cause and we may be pardoned for
mentioning Col. Roosevelt and Sena-
tor Root for starting the movement
to help us by heartily indorsing our
appeal and sending commission to
visit US; the American commissioners,
DR.. Faulkner, DR.. Sale and Mr.. Scott,
for their good work on our behalf;
President Taft and Secretary Knox
for their prompt and hearty approval
of the recommendations of the COM
mission; the congress of the United
States for supporting the administra-
tion in its Liberian proposals: and
DR.. Booker T. Washington, whose un-
selfish services were invaluable to
our cause.
I'VE are now looking forward to
a nera of prosperity and permanent
progress under the helpful lead of
the American government and the in
spiration Of the American people,"

BATTLE ROYAL
ON IN NEW YORK
Contest for Control of State
Convention Will be Fought
Tomorrow

New York. Sept. 12-With the re-
turn of Theodore Roosevelt from his
western trip. the struggle between the
old guard and the progressives for
control of the Republican state con-
vention looms larger upon the politi-
cal horizon. Both sides have been
conducting quiet but effective cam
paign to capture delegates during the
colonel's absence and the result Of to-
morrow's primaries In New York,
Buffalo and Rochester will in large
measure. determine whether the selec-
tion by the state committee of Vice
President Sherman as temporary
chairman will be ratified or rejected
in favor Of Col. Roosevelt.
Leaders Of both factions profess
confidence in their ability to win the
support of majority of the LOIS
delegates to the convention. OF the
twenty odd counties in which dele
gates have already been chosen 132
are said to favor Sherman while 109
are credited to Roosevelt. Second and
third class cities will hold their prim-
aries on September 20.
County Chairman Lloyd c. Girls
com, who is lining up the Roosevelt
forces. counts on Oractically all of
New York county's 100 delegates, al
though there are threatened contests
in several districts. State Chairman
Timothy L. Woodruff. who controls
the situation in Kings county, expects
all but three or four of the twenty
three districts there to support Sher-
man, but Col. Roosevelt's friends are
hopeful of winning over at least forty
Of the 142 delegates. Fred Greiner
Erie county's leader, promises to
swing his sixty-one delegates for
Roosevelt, while Monroe, under the
leadership of George w. Aldridge. will
probably vote for Sherman.
There will be two questions before
the convention: First. whether Vice
President Sherman will be seated as
temporary chairman. or whether the
convention shall reverse the action OF
the state committee and seat Theo-
dore Roosevelt instead: and. second
what shall be done about direct prim-
ary. Both factions of the party ad-
NIT that the line up of delegates will
differ on the two questions.
So keen has the fight over them now
grown that it has almost drowned out
all the talk of candidates for the state
ticket

STATE BANKERS
IN CONVENTION
An Interchange of Information
Between State and Nation.
al Banks Proposed

? Washington. Sept. 12.-National As
sociation of State Banks began a
three days convention in Washington
today. The bankers gathered at the
treasury building and were addressed
by Lawrence o. Murray, comptroller
of the currency.
Murray proposed that the state su-
pervisor work in cooperation with
the national examiners. He declared
he had in his Office list of the men,
who as officers of national banks, had
proved incompetent and had been re-
moved from Office and said that IL any
of them should make application to
organize state banks, their names
would be furnished to the state bank
ing authorities. In turn he proposed
that the state supervisors furnish to
the national system the nameA of men
who had been removed from state
banks. =
During the last eighteen months
the comptroller said he had refused
108 applications to form national
banks because the men behind them
had been found isacorapetent or dis
honest; that there4'was. not enough
business to make the proposed insti-
tutions profitable, or that the appli-
cants were Spectators or men with
out standing,fn their communities.

Movement Started in Philadel-

Stopped

Philadelphia, Sept. PA move
ment has been started here to have
the steamship companies discontinue
the practice of burying at sea the
bodies of persons who die on ship
board. Last week Rev. VIM. Nc
Loughlin of this city died at sea, and

signed to the waves.
Yesterday the Holy Name society
of the Roman Catholic church of Our
Lady of Mercy adopted resolutions
protesting against the custom. The
society authorized several clergymen
to correspond with the steamship
companies with view to ascertain
ing the opinions of their officers on
the subject. 1t is understood that
the leading steamship companies have
already taken this subject under con-
sideration.

The Bible is no more inspired than
many writings outside Of it," declares
Professor Gerald B. Smith.

Most of us hope for a future life,
none Of us know anything about it.
We must face the fact that there is
no hope of the return of Christ to
earth which is promised in the Scrip

I'VE have in the Bible exactly what
we have outside. SO far as the evil
dence goes-viz., .Jme writings which
allege that they are produced under
the influence of divine inspiration and
others which make no such claim,

observing the exultation depicted on
their faces, remarked to them: you
