GOVERNORS Will
TRY TO HELP TO
SOLVE PROBLEM
Conference Of Republican
Executives Held at Wash
ington Does Not Bring
Any Definite Results.

washington. Dec. 7.-Republican gov
ernors Of q dosen states met here In,
formally today to debate the question:
What il the matter with the Republi-
can party?"
The governors didn't decide the ques-
tion of hand. They left that to the "re-
Mobilization meeting to be held Jan. 4
in New York. Those who talked things
over were Governors Goldsborough. of
Maryland: Hadley. Of Missouri; Vessey.
OF South Dakota; Tener, of Pennsyl-
vania; Spry. of Utah; Eberhart, Of Min
nesota: Carroll. of Iowa; Oddie, of Ne
vada; Glasscock, OF West Virginia and
Carey Of Wyoming and Governor elect
Hanna. Of North Dakota All except
Governor Hadley refused to discuss the
meeting.
II have felt ana acted upon the
theory" said Hadley, shat the Republi-
can party has not outlived its useful
ness as an agency Of good government
but do not agree with those who con-
tend that all that 10 necessary for us to
do is to sit still or to stand pat in the
hope that Democratic, mistake or gen.
eral business depression will restore
Careful Consideration Needed.
II believe that the fact that 1000, ,00C
voters who voted the Republican ticke,
in 1908 refused to vote 1t in 1912 re-
quires q careful consideration as to the
reason Of their action and as to wha'
may be done to correct conditions tc
which they have objected.
"One Of the conditions which has
been the cause Of objection in tn,
party for years has been the basis o.
representation from southern states
Another Is the party's attitude towards
direct primaries for the election OF dele
gates. I believe that such change
should be made in the existing rule
for the conduct Of party affairs in botl
of these matters that there can be nj
question but that the will of the ma
| jority will control, both as to polio
and as to candidates.
1--WE Republicans who believe in pro
gressive politics cannot ask that thos
who are conservatives should chang
their opinions, but we ought all to b
able to agree that the conventions tina
settle these questions shall be trul

and in what way such changes shoul
be made, It Is in my opinion too earl
| to say. There should be ample time 70
the prejudices and feelings aroused b
the recent contest to subside. / be
lieve that prior to the beginning Of tn
1914 campaign, probably within tn
next year. there should be called a ma
tional convention OF the party to con

ters that it might seem advisable t
