stand in the present senatorial situa-
ton by giving former United States
Senator James Smith, jr., a warm
welcome al the outing of the John
P. Egan Association at Union Hill
Scheuetzen Park, Saturday. The az
fair was attended by tnousa nds OF
Democrats from ali over, the county
and every county official of PRONE
inence was present.
MIR. Smith was n of the guests
of the association and from the tima
he reached the park in the early aft
ernoon until his departure, long after
darkness set in, he was the centre
of admiring groups of local Demo-
Gratis, who assured him of their sup
port at the coming primaries for the
preferential vote for United States
senator.
Congressman William Hughes and
Frank McDermit, also seeking the
senatorial preferential vote, were at
the outing. and while they were well
received there was no Disgusting the
fact that Mr.. Smith was easily the
choice of a majority of the Demo-
crate VINO went to make up the big
gathering. Many of the leaders exs
pressed the hope hat Mr.. Smith
would be successful at the primaries
and some of them did not hesitate
to criticise Governor Wilson for what
seemed to them his unwarranted at
tack upon Mr.. Smiths candidacy.
The opinion was general that the
attack helped Mr.. Smith. Sentiment
for Mr.. Smith was genuine and yer

WHAT WILL BE DONE WITH HIM?

I'D OWERFUL official and political influence at Washington
has for several years shielded Porter Charlton, the das.
tardly wife murderer and butcher, from the demand of
Italy for his e%xtradition. The murder was committed at the
Lake of Como in Italy and there never has been doubt of Charl-
tons guilt. If he had been an ordinary American citizen with
out any "pulr at the White House he would have been promptly
extradited, but the blood of Charlton's victim cries in vain
for justice. An English girl, a mere child of 16, on her way back
to her home in England, was decOyed to a hotel in New York
by a man bearing the credentials of secretary of the American
legation at Panama. The man was arrested for a crime that
was the tragedy of a young life. This man also has influence
at Washington, but, happily, he is in the hands of the New York
police. And yet it is well to watch the case to see what is
done with him.

THE "JANE ADDAMs' CAMPAIGN CHORUS.

@LDTIME campaign dittes were very much on the ribald
w order, but the advent of the Progressive party and of
women in politics has brought a new element into the
singing at political massmettings. 1t is of a patriotic and almost
religious style, and the "Jane Adams chOirs1 of women, gowned
in white, which are organizing all over the West, will probably
spread to the East. The Bull Moose has the credit of giving a
new tone of dignity and earnestness to the musical side OF cam
paigning. 1t was first developed in the Progressive headquar-
tiers at Chicago in June, and was a marked characteristic of the
new party convention there in August. In California a host of
women are offering themselves as choristers.

OPEN CONVENTION
FOR EMPIRE C. OPP.
Leaders Warned by State
Chairman Barnes Against
Putting Through Slate.

NEW YORK, Sept. 16.-Every indi-
cation points to a free and open con-
~vention at Saratoga a week from
Wednesday, when the Republicans
meet to nominate a State ticket and
frame a platform for the fall cam
paign. Rarely before has it happened
that there has been so little of a pro-
gram for a State convention only ten
days before 1t meets.
The idea of William Barnes, jr.-
one that he has taken pains to spread
around among all the leaders in the
State-is that there must not be the
| slightest attempt on their part to
frame or put through a slate.
There has been no capitalization
of sentiment on behalf of n one
man for the gubernatorial nomination.
Several candidates for THE honor have
been appealing to the people, each in
his own way, for some time.
These candidates are william S.
Bennett, former congressman, who
aspired to run for governor two years
ago, and did have most of the dele
gates. from New York county with
him at Saratoga; James w. Wads-
worth, jr., former speaker of the AS
sembly, and JOB f. Hedges, who has
been well known for his political
activities for many years.
To the list of those who are aspir-
ants for the nomination should be
added Egbert g. Woodbury., of
jamestown, former State tax COM
missioner, who has announced his
candidacy, but so far has made no
active v 1t has beer gen.
orally supposed that Frederick c.
Stevens, of Attica, superintendent of
public works under Governor Hughes,
would be a candidate for the nominal
ton, but he announced the other day
that he had no desire to run his year.
Then there are others who have
been prominently mentioned, including
District Attorney Whitman, Nicholas
Murray Butler, David Jayne Hill and
Secretary Stimson of the war depart
ment, who ran two years ago. The
latter is now in the West, but his
friends say that he would not want to
run this year..
Careful consideration is being given
to the suggestion of District Attorney
Whitman. 1t is agreed that he il
strong before the people on account
of the excellent work that he has
done on the Rosenthal case and the
investigation of police grating that
has grown out of the murder of the
gambler.
