Choice OF Convention Must
Not Be Less Free Than
That of Straus

SEA GiRTs y. j.. Sept. 2s--After
teiephonic conversation with w. o.
McAdoo late this afternoon. Cover
nor Woodrow Wilson tonight issued
his long expected statement, on the
New York State political situation. Az
has been several times stated Gov
ernor Wilson is unaiterabIy opposed
10 the denomination of Governor Dix
In his statement, however, he does
not express opposition TO Dix, but
demands that the Syracuse conyen-
ton be permitted TO make its own
choice, that the delegates he given
free rein, and that the bosses keen
their hands off. Governor Wilson is
confident that in these circumstances
Dix VIII not be reneminated, but the
delegates viii name a Progressive
candidate who viii compare favor
ably with Mr. Sfraus and Mr.. Hedges.
Governor WILSON'S Statement.
Governor Wilson said:

the Syracuse convention with the
deepest interest, because / realize its
critical Importance to the party
throughout the nation. and have
made my own opinion with regard to
II very plain to every friend from
New York who has done me honor to
consult me.

appearance Of doing what I condemn
in Others. namely. trying ia dictate
what great party organization
should do. what candidates 1t should
choose. aud what platforms it should
adopt.

but the very principle TO which I
hold myself bound, both In speech
and in action. justify me IN saying
that the whole country demands and
expects that the Democracy of New
York he LEFT absolutely free I'd make
its own choice.
Il believe that it is ready to choose
81 progressive man OF "a kind to be
his own master. and 10 adopt a plat
form TO which men OF progressive
principles everywhere can heartily
subscribe, If only it be left free from
personal control OF any sort.
The original Democrats OF the
great State of New York are ready to
serve the nation, and To serve il with
intelligence. They need no direction
from the governor of another State,
even though he be the candidate OF
his party for the presidency.
Honest organization Il Right.
''It is seldom organ ga tions that are
at fault: it is those who attempt to
distate their action. No Intelligent
party leader can justly or wisely or
even intelllgentiy condemn or reject
the open and honest organization by
which alone parties can be held to
concerted action. but he can and
must do everything in his power to
keep them free and Embossed.
The Democracy of New York liz
at a critical turning point In its his

action at Syracuse with deep atten-
ton, and concern, Democrats every

party.

CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATE.

In an Interview given out at his
home town Attorney General Co1ley
makes the announcement that he is a
candidate for the nomination for con-
gress from this district, subject TO
the action of either primary or con
vention, as may be determined by the
committee.
Mr.. Conley in his announcement
favors a district wide primary and
the general sentiment, at least in this
section, is that all the candidates for
Office shall be selected by a primary,
rather than by the convention method.
The attorney general is we'll known
in this county, by reputation at least,
and is probably one of the best known
OF the republican leaders in the second
congressional district. His conduct
of the Office which he now holds in
the state administration has been
such that he has won the confidence
not only of the administration but of
tie people throughout the state. His
long term of service there has made
him familiar with the conditions in
the state, and having been Interested
in the affairs of the district ever
since he began the practice of law,
ne is we'll fitted to represent the REQ
pie in congress.
There are many republicans in Ber-
kelley county who will throw their
support to Mr.. Conley and his chances
for capturing the delegation from this
county seem favorable. He is one of
the really big men who are after the
nomination.
