POLITICAL NOTES.

1 &AAAAAA~A
nous opinion In the two political camps Of
the state Of New YORK that ARAlFs vii not
begin 20 crystallizs for the campaign for
the State ticket until after the Legislature
adiourns 90 Albany. You hear almost
every hour IN tho day and night gossip
about this and that Democratic candidate
for Governor ana this and that Republican
candidate for Governor. but there can be
no substance 10 tho discussion and all win
be the feaiherisat sort Of political frOth.
IL r. ihasted. until the Legislature adiOuns
and the record b made uD on the thirty
day bills 10 be signed by Gov. Hughes.
With the signing Of these thirty day bills
Gov. Hughes power a. Chief Executive
Of the State VIII BE- practically ended. Il h
added. The Governor will then take hin
vacatiOn. which will last pretty nearly up
10 the time he gOes TO Washington On De-
tOber 4.
There Il q vide difference between the
Republicans and the Democrats Of the
State this year for the Inst aime practically
IN sixteen yean. This year many Demo-
cmts are anxious 70 become candidates on
the State ticket. In q number Of 0u6er-
material years within the period mentioned
number Of DemOcnts have had TO he
dragooned into accepting nominations. On
the other hand only Seth Low h DESTROYS
&C the moment Of the Republican nOminn-
tion for Governor other Republicans
hitherto mentioned for the nomination have
Indicated that they do not care to accept
the nOmination this year and Republicans
who have had lOnEina eyes on the Lieu-
tenant -OOveFnOrhip. Attorney General
ship, ComDtrollershiD and the remaining
places ON the State ticket are now twisting
their nscks for fear the lightning will strike
them.
Just 80 about q successor 20 Timothy J..
Woodruff a. Republican State chairman.
last winter aud in the early spring
there were all sOFta Of efforts TO get Woodruff
out Now the opinion h freely expressed
that Woodruff can hold on even after the
neat State convention n he cares 10. ~ no
Republican Of any prominence has been
pleased when he has been mentioned a. a
possible successor 10 Woodruff.
Other Republican,, though. are taking
heart Of hope In the Democratic situation,
believing that the various Democratic fac
tons will get into their usual fracas: and In
addition the Republicans believe that
william r. Hearst will turn out TO be =
great factor for their good. The Demo
Gratis replying 10 this say that Hearst 10 exert
any influence will have TO take the nomi-
nation for Governor himself on the indie
Dendenoe League ticket. a. they do not be-
lisve that he can transfer his personal fol-
lowing. and besides Democrats Of the state
committee. the mathematical chaps who
analyze all election returns, are nov carry
Ing about with them the returns Of 1895.
1909 and 1909 10 prove. 20 their satisfaction
at least. that Hearst drew more from the
Republican vote in those years than he did
from the Democratic.
Most Democrats In the inner circles tell
you that they are fully convinced by this
time that Mayor Gaynor will hive a large
say ~ 70 the Democratic candidste for
Governor The majority Of these Demo-
Gratis even insist that Mayor GaynOr will
