President and the former President on
New York state matters are baseless.
Clears Way for Success.

1.-The way is now clear for the republi-
can party in this state to take steps
which will warrant and secure success
at the polls in November. 1t is evident
that some of the so-called old guard
are not seeking republican success at the
coming election: they wish to perpetuate
their control of the republican organiza-
ton at any cost to the party.
THE defeat which their plans invited
they very willingly would have unloaded
upon the shoulders Of President Tan
by making 1t appear that he failed to
indorse the policies Of Gov. Hughes and
Mr. Roosevelt In this state.
THE alliance Of some of the old guard
leaders with Tammany Hall in the last
two legislatures was a disgrace and
should be repudiated by the party.
Substantially. all the republican pri-
maries are sti1l to be held throughout the
state There can be no misunderstanding
OF the position taken by President Taft
former President Roosevelt and Coy
Hughes for progressive leadership IN the
party and clean government. Opposed
are Messrs. Barnes, woodrHff. Aldrfdge
Ward and their associates. The voters
In the primaries will have an opportunity
Of making their choice. +
