Speaking as a citizen and not In his ON
cial capacity, Chairman Hotchkiss said ne
would favor a plank for the liberalization
Of the state government.
"Rv that mean" he explained, having
only the Governor and Lieutenant Cover
nor elected by the people. and to nave
them elected for four years. I would have
the Governor appoint the heads Of say
ten coordinate departments TO serve az
his pleasure. This would give him cab
met which would have a great moral
power for good, although no legal power 70
do ANYTHING without the sanction OF the
Governor
This is the same idea that the advo-
Gates Of the short ballot have been urging
upon the public for several years
NJ Hotchkiss was asked II Colonel
Roosevelt would exercise a supervision over
the contributions accepted by he party,
az Governor Wilson has announced he
intended to do IN the Democratic party.
Il do not know. he replied, but If !
had my way an announcement OF the cur
rent subscriptions would be made every
fortv-eight hours"

none better than the head Of bull moose
could be selected.
The newspapers have advertised that
name 90 widely" he said. that no sup
porter Of our movement would be AT a lose
TO know IN what column 20 vote
The mail Of the chairman has been enor-
NOUS He saws that he is receiving not
only songs and yells, but that the an
thusiasrn Of the Roosevelt Supporters has
