Embossed Convention Men
tons Few Republicans Just
to Give a Winning Flavor.

The strictly Embossed state convention
OF the Independence League met for it's
second and last session I'm Arlington Hall,
St Marks Place. last night. Tile business
of nominating all the officers on the state
ticket. except the candidate for Governor
took about three hours The resultant
ticket IS strictly eclectic. II is a little OF
everything and also for. against and neu-
trail II stands up so straight that it falls
backward.
Martin RI. Glynn. nominated by the
Democrats for Lieutenant Governor. was
made the Independence League candidate
for that office to- run with Oscar Straus,
the Progressive independence League can
dldatc for Governor. Although Straus had
beaten William Sulzcr by ten votes as
the leagues choice for the highest office
on the ticket Glynn won over Davenport.
the Progressive candidate for second
place. by "A vote Of 20 to Is.
But the convention then turned right
about face once again and nominated for
Secretary of state Homer ID. Call, OF
Onondaga, whom the Progressives had
named for this office. Call won over
Mitchell May, Of Kings. the Democrat by
vote Of 1O1 To . on the strength OF his
union labor record. The vote was later
made unanimous.
Then. for state Controller, the sentiment
Immediately switched again from Pro-
pressivcs TO Democrats and centred In
william Sohmer. General Horatio G.
King, the Progressive candidate, was
named against Sohmer. and so was Will
lam II. Cunningham, OF Ulster, the Re-
publican candidate, the only Republican
to be mentioned for office I'm the conven-
ton. But Sohmer won I'm a walk with 80
votes, as against for King and for
Cunningham.
In the ballotng for State Treasurer the
alienation between Progressive and
Democratic tickets was abandoned tenn
porarily, and an Independence Lacquer
pure and simple, was chosen in the person
OF John Davis, of The Bronx. Another
Lacquer, without other party affiliations,
was put up against him-Tmothy J. iGev-
erin, OF Queens. The vote stood: Davis,
II. and Heyerin, 30.
For Attorney General nobody had a
ghost OF a chance against John Palmleri.
member Of the Independence League,
whom the Progressives nominated for
that Office at Syracuse. Mrs II. T..
O'Laughlin. wife of the Register Of
Kings. was present TO boost the judges
fortunes. as she had done at Syracuse.
Her husband followed her with a eulogy
Of his own, saying he was sorry the baby
wasn't present to add his voice TO the
family symposium. Mrs. Palmieri seated
beside Mrs. OLaughlin. took in the pro-
ceedings with qualification as the dele
gates cast unanimous vote for her hus-
band.
ora Miner Leland, Of Tompkins, tho
Progressive candidate for State Engineer.
was the unanimous choice OF the conven-
ton for that place on the ticket, and for
the Court Of Appeals William II. Guide
back. OF Erie. the Democratic candidate,
and Dean George w Kirchwey Of Column
tia, the Progressive candidate, won
hardily.
