|CubernatoriaI Candidate Causes
TangIe at Convention
at Saratoga.

SARATOGA, N. T., Sept. "a
candidate to head the Republican
State ticket was expected TO emerge
today from the tangle of speculation
that has beset the State convention
ever since the delegates began to
gather here last Monday. In their
efforts to test sentiment the leaders
have suggested one man after another
without stirring up any convincing
show of enthusiasm. Unless the Re-
publicans repeat the experience of the
Progressives at Syracuse and find
their leader in an unexpected OUT
burst Of harmonious approval. the
nominee seems likely to be selected
by carefully weighing the strength
Of the various men proposed and
choosing the one who can make the
most convincing show of strength.
For the moment State Senator
Harvey D. Human, of Binghamton,
is foremost among those whose avail
ability is being discussed, and until
the question of his candidacy was
settled there seemed to be little hope
of progress toward any other possible
nominee.
The subcommittee appointed to
consider the planks suggested for the
platform was in session until after 3
o'clock this morning and planned to
make a report to the full committee
before the convention met today.
If there were any doubt that the
convention intended to adhere closely
to Republican doctrines 1t was dis

Boswell, president of the National

objection. Miss Boswell was escorted
to the platform.
Miss Boswell was accorded a lively
ovation as she was introduced by
Chairman Bracket as "a sterling
Republican" She told the delegates
how the women proposed to aid the
party by bringing the men out to
register and then see that they voted
on election day. She also spoke
briefly on the tariff and of the high
cost of living.
After Miss Boswell had concluded
her speech the convention adjourned
until 4 o'clock.

THE BALKAN POWDER MAGAZINE.

c1Ta HE European chancellerics are awakening to the fact that
something is happening in the Balkans. There have been
so many false alarms in that quarter that they become
incredulous of trouble in the Balkan powder magazine, and now
they realize that an explosion is imminent. If the group of
Balkan States were off in the Indian Ocean it would matter
little about their racial and religious feuds, but they occupy the
most important peninsula in the world and their destinies in
volve the peace of Europe. All the conditions now seem to be
ripe for the outbreak of a savage war, which may drag in thc
great powers, and the war might mean the dismemberment of
Turkey in Europe. 1t is that possibility that concerns the powers.
for when the Turk is driven out of Europe it will not be the
pugnacious little Balkan States that will appropriate the gain.
The powers will see to that. And thus the trouble. That means
a general war in Southeastern Europe by great armies and
fleets. The situation in the near East has an interest for the
whole world, for world history may soon be making there.

HOW TO DEAL WITH A Low WAGE.

eTa HE mill workers at Lawrence, Mass, have been br,tally
used by the millowners in the matter of wages and hours.
The protection that the industry gets in the tariff goes to
fatten dividends and doesn't get into the pay envelope. The
wages paid in these mills shame humanity. Now there are two
ways that are suggested for dealing with such cases. One is to
abolish tariff protection and close the mills. The other plan is
the minimum wage and legislation to put a due share of tariff
protection in the pay envelope. AS to the 6rstnamed plan. it
is hard to see where the benefit TO labor comes in, for if the
mill is closed employment ceases. Then what will the Midland
do for a living? A minimum wage would forbid a soulIess manu-.
featuring corporation to have a wage scale like that at Law
renee. 1t would be a decentlv living wage, below which the
corporation could not go. A national industrial commission
could take complaints about inadequate wages, could compare
them with the amount of protection the industry gets from the
tariff, and If the wage is unjustly low could point out the fact
and propose a fairer wage. 1t would see that tariff protection
went into the pay envelope. That is the Bull Moose remedy.
hnd it is the right one.

dividing line between the two States with a view to confusing
justice in case he should be apprehended. The line between
New Jersey and New York is clearly marked by monuments

There should be no difficulty in establishing the exact spot

county, and if the spot is in New Jersey Gibson will be handed
over to Jersey justice and Passaic county will foot the bill.

STATE CONVENTIONS NEXT TUESDAY,.

NV OW that the primaries are over the material is furnished
AN and ready for the State conventions of the two political
parties, to consist of the holdover senators and the legis-
lative candidates just nominated. In the case of the Democratic
convention the governor will form a part. Both conventions will
be held at Trenton next Tuesday All that these conventions
will have to do is to frame and adopt party platforms and name
presidential electors. AS the Progressive party held no primaries
and must nominate by petition it cannot hold a State convention,
as the election law makes no provision for a new party. The
vote polled iii November by the Progressives will, however, put
IL on a primary footing and entitle it to all the privileges as well
rs disabilities of the Geran law in another year.
