Saratoga, Sept. 2S.-That Hen:y. L.
Stimson, former United States dis
trict attorney Of New York, will be
the nominee of the prugressives for
er a conference Of the leaders with
Col Roosevelt just before the con-
vention adjourned at noon.
The changing of the political cur
rent this morning caused the rub
bing from the proposed gubernatorial
slate, the names of Harvey d. Hin
man and J. Mayhem Wainwright. and
when conferees. who are fixing up
the ticket met before the convention
opened, 1t was discovered that Stin-
son had developed increased strength
and appeared at the moment to be
the strongest candidate. Grfscom
said the majority of those in the con-
ference were in favor Of Stimson,
but the question had not been finally
determined. To sessions of the con-
vention seem likely. The discussion
on the platform, the progressive say.
probably will take major portion of
the day, after which 1t may be neces-
sary to adjourn for night session.
Between the sessions tho guberna-
torial slate will be fixed, It ,is fur
ther stated that an effort will be
made to have Senator Hinman as q
candidate for lieutenant governor
and the leaders were trying to reach
him by long distance telephone.
State Senator j. Mayhem VAIN
wright Of West Chester was the most
talked Of man for lieutenant COVER
nor. Three members of the present
denomination as follows: Edward
uel Koenig, secretary OF state, and
Frank williams. state engineer. y, y, :
The onices Of state comptroller and
state treasurer have not been deter
mined upon, while Judge .Vann prob
ably will be renominated for the
court of appeals. A conference with
the Democratic. committee is likely to
be held to determine who shall fill
the vacancy on the court.
Election of Speaker James W..
Wadsworth as q member of the Re-
publican state committee to succeed
John A. Merritt Of Lockport is said
to have been the result of the truce
between, the Stevens and Wadsworth
factions in the Thirty-fourth congress
sional district which comprises the
counties of Genesee, Livingston, Nj
agara. Orleans and Wyoming.
The work Of drafting the platform
to present to the convention occu-
pied the committee on resolutions for
the greater part Of last night. 1t was
daybreak when the result Of the COM
mittee's efforts was given out. The
platform endorses the administra-
tions Of President. Taft and Gov.
Hughes, and declared that the Payne
Aldrich tariff law has been sue
cess and refers with approval to the
work of the last congress. 1t pledges
continuance Of the state graft in
quiry, until all wrong doing capable
Of exposure shall be brought to
light" The plank relating to the d.
mits Of no misconstruction. 1--WE
promise legislation which. will enact
these principles into law" is the

"The committee on credentials re-
ported that there we're no contests,
and there was no report to be made,
which ELECTED from the temporary

accompanied by scrupulous fairness
in handling the question as to who
IL by right entitled to admission to

convention by the committe Of per-
nanenk organization. Root thanked

ing over the entire country. q revolt
against the time worn form of poll

erendum. the recall, the direct cleo
tion of senator's, and the direct nom
nations" said the chairman, are ev-
idence that the people OF our country
feel that our forms Of political or
ganization do not adequately furnish
the voters of our political parties the
means to give effect to their political
WILL"
am told that the trend of public
opinion is against the Republican
party this year. Well, what of ia?
What difference does that make to us
( here in the performance of our duty?
Did the Republicans ever loge heart
