TO MARCH ON SYRACUSE
Progressives Have No Definite
Programme of Candidates.

William II. fIotchklss. chairman OF the
State Committee Of the National Progress
sivc party, Will 20 TO Syracuse on Monday
for the state convention, which Is to open
on Thursday. He said yesterday that
most Of the leaders would be on the
ground on Tuesday morning. at which
time the problems Of the convention would
be taken up In earnest.
ON Tuesday noon at the Onondaga Hotel

has been appointed Dy Mr.. Hotchklss Will
meet to hear all suggestions for plat
form planks. From that time on the
committee will be I'm almost continued
session until 1t turns over the result Of
It's labors to the regular resolutions COM
mittoe appointed by the convention.
Mr. Hotchkiss said nothing definite had
been decided on In the way Of candidates
ana that 1t would be impossible To get the
sentiment OF the delegates before they
reached Syracuse. There seems to be an
almost unanimous opinion among mem
bers of the party that Mr.. Iotchkiss
should run for Governor. He has deter
mined, however, not to permit his name
to be used. and his friends have little
hope that they can shake his determina-
tion.
The name Of Controller Prendergast is
still being seriously talked of for the
gubernatorial nomination. but the chances
are that the nomination Will go to an up

A strong sentiment has also developed up

fin, OF Syracuse. for Lieutenant Governor.
Chairman Hotchkiss and Hamilton Fish,
candidate for Congress on the Progressive
ticket, have brought suit against the
Election Commissioners OF Putnam
County TO have part of the Levy election
law declared unconstitutional. The law
requires that 1900 signatures must be OBJ
tained on Independent petitions for county
officers. IL IL contended that in small
counties 1t is an impossibility TO obtain
so many signatures. The case Will come
up before Justice Tompkins In the Su-
preme Court at White Plains to-day.

Kinley who had as his assistant Theo-
dore Roosevelt up to the time OF the
breaking out of the war with Spain, has
sent a letter TO "Zion's Herald by re-
quest. entitled why l Shall Vote for

Acknowledgement and with being colossal

II was a day typical OF the travel
scenes of the President, and apparently
he enjoyed every minute. There was not
a dull moment from the time the Presi-
dent arrived until late tonight. Leaving
Columbus early tomorrow. he Is due
back in Beverly on Saturday. TO take up
his summer vacation.
Aside from his speech to the lawyers
tonight the President had only one en-
gagement that called for an address. He
told the farmers at the state fair why he
exercised the veto power given him under
the Constitution, raped the ideas OF new
"reformers," and declared the govern
ment had meant we'll by the farmer and
intended to do still more for him in the
future.
In his speech 10 the farmers the Presi-
dent said:
Some OF my friends say that if a king
had used the veto power as ] nave hlS
head would drop I'm the basket, But J
am not a king and that Is very different.
The President has the power, and II Is
! his duty. if he does not approve legisla .
tion. TO veto it, lie must use the veto
when his conscience tells him, whether
his head drc in the basket or not. II
Presidents are men-and most OF them
arc-thev will exercise the veto when
they think they ought.
Look over the Vetocs of other Presi-
dents and show me the bad ones. and |
will show you more that are good. Our
forefathers thought that II was well 10

good many more people than they were.
