Times of this morning, describing the
Democratic convention now sitting.
Now. mind you, | am reading what
appears in the New York Times-our
enemy. our bitter enemy and l am
reading its description of it's party's
convention. and | ask you to listen
to the words in which that party con-
vention is described by It's friend:
"'All day and night the Democratic
leaders have been going, hat in hand
to Mr. Murphy. and asking him
humbly to favor this or that candi-
date
And in it's editorial. the New York
Times falls in with the other Demo-
cratic leaders and asks for the nomi-
nation of a candidate by the conven-
ton. Now it goes on:
Never before has Tammany hall
been in such unquestoned control OF
a state convention. Never before has
any Tammany boss been enthroned as
the state leader in the unlimited way
in which Murphy is recognized today
The convention is in the hollow of his
hand
Such statement from me might
seem extreme. | am merely quoting
the testimony of a leading Democrat
in speaking of the Democratic state
convention l will go on.
Back of Murphy's control are
rumors of strange and sinister influ-
ence. You cannot throw brick in
any direction in Rochester without
hitting some lobbyist or railroad at
torney'

New York, Sept. 30.-Theodore Roose-
Welt, addressing the National Republi-
can League in session at Carnegie hall
today, delivered his first speech of the
state campaign. Praising the platform
and Henry l.. Stimson, the Republican
nominee for governor, he compared
the Republican state convention with
the Democratic convention now being
held 1t Rochester and on the strength
Of his comparison said he felt that the

of the Republican party in the state o'

the reasoned faith of the independent

clared. Il am afraid it would leave
sore spots all over the state. l was
chosen for state chairman to run the
campaign and not to bear the party s
Standard
But the leaders felt otherwise.
Every influence was brought to bear
upon their unwilling choice. Sever
al of his relatives, his wife, his broth
er-in-law and his nephew all of
whom were here with him were
sought out and urged to use their
powers of persuasion. But when the
convention met this afternoon for
| The first session of the day, Dix was
still undecided. Pale and haggard
from the strain under which he was
laboring, he called the convention to
order. The address of permanent
Chairman Herbert p Bissell, the read
ing of the platform, the reports of
committees and the adoption of the
routine resolutions held the delegates
until 4:43 o'clock, when the convention
took recess until 7:30.
The conference in Mr.. Murphy's
room was resumed almost Immediately.
Four hours later a committee con-
sisting of National Chairman Norman
r. Mack and John II. McCooey, the
Brooklyn leader, left the room and
went up stairs to Mr.. Dixs suit. They
told the chairman the leaders still
held to their opinion that he should
rur. Then Mr.. Dix capitulated. With
in five minutes the committee on per-
suasion returned to the conference
and reported his decision. Soon after
Dix himself came out of his room.
Edwin M. Shepard was the first OF
the candidates for the nomination to
abandon his own claims in favor of
Dix. Earlier in the day Mr.. Dix had
made it condition of his acceptance
that all the other candidates should
promise him their support. While tho
delegates in the convention hall await
cd the arrival of the leaders with
growing Impotence, word came from
the conference at the Seneca that Mar
tin n. Glynn had sent word from
Albany that he would not accept the
nomination for comptroller. Mr.. Glynn
was an avowed candidate for COVER
nor.
The question of the lieutenant gov
ernorship also continued to give
trouble. Congressman James S. Hav-
ems. another candidate for first place
on the ticket, was said to be the lead
ers' first choice, but his representa-
tives declared that under no circum-
stances would he accept. Finally Mr..
Dix himself was sent as emissary to
Mr.. Haven's at his home. Mr.. Dix
soon returned to report that his mis-
sion was fruitlcss. Then Mr.. Con-
way yielded and agreed to accept the
nomination for lieutenant governor.
At GAS the leaders became convinced
that Mr.. Glynn was steadfast in his
refusal to run and they completed the
ticket by placing Therson William
Sohmer of New York as the candi-
date for comptroller-and left the hotel
to go to the convention hall.
Long before the leaders finished their
preparation of the slate and entered
the hall, the big building was crowded.
Nominations for governor were called
for at once and when Albany county

The great saving will be in rivers
