The break came "a expected. when

Endorsed Taft and Sherman, adopted

Of course, the Taft Republicans

to be seen how much They will BAT

tip whispered around that all real
Taft men should vote for Wilson
and Marshall. in the hope of CARRYING
California for the Democrats and so
rebuking Roosevelt, johnson and the

SARATOGA, NEW YORK. Sept. 20.
Iammy Hall and the New York
police scandal were brought into the
deliberations of the resolutions com
mittee of the New York State Repub-
lican party by Herbert Parsons. party
leader in New York, tonight, when he
made a plea for the insertion OF "a
platform plank that would force pub
lie officials To testify in court con-
corning their own acts and lake from
them the privilege or refusing TO tes-
tify on the grounds of discriminating
themselves.
We have an example of the need
for such a law in the present alder
manic Investigation said Parsons.
the committeeman must be careful
that they do not ask questions Of
members of the police that might in
eliminate them and give them inn
munity.
Every servant of the public owes
the duty Of giving the government
every nil Of information it demands
and to permit a man TO be excused
from testifying on the self incrimina-
ton excuse is an absurdity.
Fourteen Years ago a Tammany
mayor was u of specializing in

was using his official power so the in
