(By Stan Correspondent OF The Tribune)
Syracuse. Sept. Ex-senator O'Gorman
came out from a conference on the plat

fight against having the unit rule adopted
by the New York County delegation to
the Democratic State Convention He
sail that he had not personally suggested
II % Mr.. Murphy, but intlmated that It
had been done.
II am personally strongly against the

said. because II shackles the delegates -
> man who Is familiar with the present
election law declared there could be no
such thing as the enforcement OF the

BUILDING THE PLATFORM
Handling of Dix Administration
Delicate Task.

Syracuse. Sept 30.-A progressive plat.
form. intended 10 go at least as far as
those on which the other parties base theii
campaigns. was discussed tonight. In
preparation for the organization OF the
committee on resolutions after the first
session Tomorrow OF the Democratic
state Convention. one of its features, the
suifragists say, will be plank similar 70
that adopted at the Republican conven-
ton last week. providing for the submits
sion Of the question Of votes for women
10 tho PEOPLE In 1915 unless II is taken W
previously by constitutional convention
Like the Republicans. the Democrats
arc expected to advocate an early consti-
tutional convention TO which would be
referred various proposed amendments.
Preliminary work on the platform ia
being done by Senator Robert f. Wagner.
who probably will be chairman OF the
committee on resolutions, assisted by
Senator r. Harvey Ferris, Robert l..
Luce, chairman OF the State Board OF
Claims: George ~ Palmer. chairman OF
the state committee: Representative John
j. Fitzgerald and John b. Stanchfeld.
In treating OF national issues the plat =
form trainers expect TO approve the work
Of the Democratic House OF Representa-
tives and denounce President Tafts tariff
bin vetocs. which were applauded by the
Republican Saratoga platform. The high
cost Of living will be laid at the door OF
the tariff. and the election OF Governor
Wilson and a Democratic Congress. and
consequent tariff reform. will be declared
the only solution.
The platform builders face a delicate
task In writing their reference to the ad-
ministrat.on OF Governor Dix. The Gov
errors friends declared tonight that IL
the convention adopted platform In
dorsing Dlx's administration IT could not
consistently refuse to renominate him. At
the same time 1t was said that plank
praising the Democratic administration Of
the last two years for its business eff-
cheney and economy and the fulflment
~ it's pledges already had been drafted.
Attorney General Carmody Is here to-
night with a plank providing for uniform
,eY,books I'm the public schools. At the
nresent time. he says. parents OF school
children are put to unnecessary expense
nv too frequent changes In schoolbooks.
The Attorney General also says he will
ask the resolutions committee to indorse
the conduct OF his office, and particularly
his trust prosecutions.
Senator O'Gorman intimated strongly
tonight that the platform would contain
q declaration for statewide direct pri-
maries. meaning the direct nomination OF
all candidates, including those for state
offices. He said he was strongly In favor
of such a declaration. and 1t is understood
that so far he has received fairly free
hand I'm the drafting of the platform.
Senator .OGorman said the tentative
draft of the platform had been completed
They were going over 1t. and there might
be some changes. but he did not look for
any serious notifications.

All up in the Air.

The opposition was "up in the air most
OF the day. Its leaders did not know just
how much strength they could count on.
and they were divided among themselves
as TO the best way to fight Boss Muir
ply. whose plans they were unable 70
learn.
Thomas Mott Osborne, of Auburn, the
chief leader of the movement. arrived
early. and spent the day comforting with
men who like himself were consumed
with a great desire to swat Murphy
some way and somehow. The great
trouble was that most OF the men ne
conferred with we're not delegates nor did
they control any delegates. They dis
cussed at length what bad man Muir
ply was and how important 1t was Tor
the salvation Of the state Organization
that ne should be eliminated from con-
troll. but beyond this did not get far.

Monday Was Banner Day.

Cottonwood's banks do a good
steady business every day in the
year and probably do more bust
ness for their size than most
other banks in the state but &C.
casionally, as in other lines of
business, they have better days
than the average and this was
the case Monday with the First
National Bank in this city which
took in on that day deposits sub
Ject to check to the amount of
$25, 1854. And this did not
come in in extra large sums
either, but in amounts ranging
from So, 500 down to a few dol
lars. This record of one days
business certainly speaks well
for the prosperity of the citizens
of this section.

Kooskia Gets Shut Out.

The ball game played here yes.
terday evening between the Cot.
tonwood and Kooskia Indian
teams resulted in a sEut-out for
the visitors, the score standing
10 to 0 at the end of the fifth in
ming. The game was called for
2:3O but a heavy shower prevent
ed it being played so it was de-
clded to play in the evening
rather than send the visitors
home without a game. The
ground was wet and muddy and
prevented a very fast article of
ball from being put up.
The Myrtle Indian team came
in last night on the train and will
play here this afternoon and to-
morrow. This team is one of the
best in the lower country and has
taken a number of fast games
this season. 1t is comprised of
the best Indian players on the

The Salmon river reached quite
a high stage late last week and
it was necessary on Sunday to tie
the Rice Creek ferry up on ac-
count of high water. The stream
receded, however, the next day
and the cool weather since has
kept it down several feet below
the high water mark. On Sun
day afternoon Will Eller saw a
saddle horse with a saddle on if

the stream together, which look
ed much as if someone had met
with an accident further up the
river. No further news has been
heard from it, however, and it is
possible the rider escaped. |

Shooting Scrape at VoIlmer

Word was received here about
10 O'Clock, last night, of a shoot
ing scrape at Vollmer, in which
one man was killed. From what
information we are able to OBJ
tain it appears that Mike Farrell.
a former butcher at Vollmer,
was in a room at the hotel in
company with a woman named
Mrs. Kimmerley and began
abusing and choking the woman,
who called for help. Two tray
cling men and a man named
Emery answered her cries and
on finding the door of the room
locked proceeded to break it
down. Emery was the first to
enter the room and Farrell, it is
said, came at him in a rage and
Emery drew revolver and shot
the man twice, one bullet enter
ing the head and the other the
abdomen. Death resulted with
in a few minutes.
The woman in the case spent a
couple of weeks here early in the
spring and is a we'll known char
acter in this part of the state.
She is separated from her hus-
band and has small child with
her.
Details of the affair are meag-
er but it is probable Emery has
oeen arrested and will have to
stand trial at a later date.
