Of the long ride and were especially
pleased with the scenery through the

President Taft made no speeches to-

Senator Root. In n statement after the
committee adjourned declaring that Judge

nominee of the convention" said:

The Democratic party has now repu-
dated the policy and the committee has
accordingly adopted the natural course
OF nominating the good and acceptable
Judge now sitting on the bench.
The result OF the on-rartisan policy
which has been followed Is that, although
the State Of New York has been carried
by the Democratic party but twice In six
teen years. there are now on the bench
of the Court OF Appeals. four Democrats
TO three Republicans. The effect OF the
Democratic attempt TO abandon the non
partisan policy and to grab and monopo-
lie all judicial positions In tho court OF
last resort, would be to make the Court
of Appeals composed OF six Democrats
and one Republican.

on his way from the railroad station 10
the opera house. where he delivered an
address, when a light wagon bearing Re-
publican campaign placards fell In behind

The driver persisted In tolling small

marked that the bell sounded like the

night with a meeting here, at which about
nine hundred persons cheered the candi-

the plain people, the wage earners and
farmers, who have to large extent come
over to the Progressive side
