BARNES ON THE WATCH
State Chairman Means to Have
a Say About Platform.
HOLDS IT MOST IMPORTANT
Preparing for Contest with
Those Who Favor a Pro-
gressive Declaration.

From stat, Correspondent 81 Tho Trionne'I
Saratoga, n. Y, Sept Estate COM
mitteeman Barnes not only believes the
platform is going to be a lot more I'm
portant than the candidates in the kepuo-
lican convention, but is acting on tha'
belief. 1t may be an Embossed conven-
ton" 80 far as nominations are concerneu'
but Il won't get away from Barnes ana
a few Of his tried and trusty companions
as to platform proposals If he can heip
it-and ne should be IN q position 10
help il.
Mr.. Barnes took unusual means several
days ago to ascertain the probable per-
sonnet OF the committee on resolutions
He wrote letters TO the county chairmeh
asking them TO tell him who would rep
resent their districts on that committee
Some OF them did not reply because the
localities had not arranged the matter
OF committee representation. Others dld'
so that the state chairman must nave
now a very adequate idea Of the make
up OF that committee and Its political
complexion.
The Importance OF this advance. In
formation may be realized when the fact
is considered that there will be strong
element in tho convention determined 10
have a progressive platform, distinct ana
specific on matters concerning which MT
Barnes holds pronounced views IN the
other direction. Several men are no"
threatening to make fight in the com
mttee on direct nominations and kindred
reforms, and carry that night to the floor
Of the convention II necessary.
The state chairman's defence OF the
Constitution doesn't appeal TO numerous
good Republicans who can't see that the
Constitution is In half as much danger as
the public is from improper laws which 1t
Is the duty OF the Republican party to
correct so It is their intention 10 advo-
cate attention 10 crying evils az the first
duty, with a firm abiding faith in the
background that the Constitution will
survive even the formation of the Pro-
gressive party and tho speeches OF
Colonel Roosevelt.

Oppose Some Rochester Planks.

A leader who will have a great deal TO
say about the platform said tonight:
There are some things I'm the Rochester
platform upon which I do not think we
need touch at this time. For instance,
that platform denounced the initiative
and referendum. | think we can afford to
be silent on that topic now. We have not
given enough study TO the proposition In
this state TO make a declaration one way
or the other"
This same leader said he was in favor
OF denouncing the recall OF judicial de-
cisions.
There seems to be general DISPOSE
ton to take some cognizance OF the police
situation in New York City In the con-
structlve suggestions of the platform.
Some are suggesting a declaration for a
state constabulary. Others think that
would be too much a violation of the
home rule principle. They sugges1 the APP

Mr.. Roots Mind Open.

Even Senator Root added his assur-
ances. After he had been here for sew
eral hours and had talked TO many Of
the leaders he was asked TO comment
on the situation.
q haven't any candidate for Gov
ernor," Mr.. Root replied. My mind is
open. have been talking 10 my
friends. so az 10 get In touch with the
situation. Just now everything is very
indefinite, and it will take a little
longer for sentiment to crystalline prop
erly. Anything that might be said now
as TO what the convention is likely to
do would be a poor guess. ANY one
can guess as well as I can"
Senator Root figured that much OF
the work OF the convention this year
would be done on the convention floor.
The question of nominations for the
Court Of Appeals is likely to be trou-
blesome. There is u strog sentiment
against the usual bipartisan nominal
ton scheme. Chairman Barnes is
strongly In favor OF nominating two
Republicans this year and two next,
although that would interfere with the
plans OF Senator Bracket to land a
nomination next year under bi-parti-
san arrangement.
II may be that the plan followed by
the Roosevelt convention two years ago
will be adopted, and that bipartisan
lineup will be arranged. All Mr..
Barnes would gay for publication on
this subject to-day was to recall the
appointment Of committee two years
ago TO place on the Republican ticket
the nominee Of the Democrats. He did
announce anew his violent opposition
10 direct nominations.
IAN this direct primary proposition
is a limitation on the freedom Of the
voters" said Mr.. Barnes. 1T is wrong
in principle as well as in practice.
What we want is more freedom, not
restriction. There should be no pri-
maries. Let us have all the freedom
a. can get. and let the best man win.

report by President A. E. Kidd of the
work accomplished and movements
promulgated in the past year, the
question of the commission govern

1t was shown that despite the de-
feat two years ago, the attitude of
the people is fast changing and that

new movement Two hundred and
