Horse Race Finished.

Hartford. Conn, Sept. 10,--The Re-
publican State convention, which will
nominate a state ticket, seven Pres
idential electors and adopt a platform,
was opened. tonight, in the Foot Guard
Armory.
United States Senator George B
Mclean in his speech as temporary
chairman, eulogized the Republican
party, which he said Had done more
10 promote the material. moral and
mental advancement of mankind than
any other political organization in
history"
The Republican party built the
temple of the square deal. when the
Republicans now traducing il in their
cradles he continued.
Senator Mclean spoke at consider
able length of the "Chicago tragedy
IF Mr. Roosevelt had sent word
to the Chicago convention" he said.
after the demonstration in favor of
Gov. Hadley, that he would support
Hadley if nominated no man can
doubt the result at Chicago and no
man. today, could be in doubt as to
the result Tin November. Here Col.
Roosevelt had chance to SAVE his
party, and | think, himselfs The cri-
sis was there and Mr.. Roosevelt was
the only man who could save the sit
uation and he declined
Senator Mclean criticized the Pro-
gressive movement. declaring the Pro-
gressives an army mobilized at
Armageddon, whose purpose it is to
destroy.
Religion, he added, "is always a.
reliable political asset He is lucky
candidate who gets the Lord on his
side first, for the Lord cannot be on
both sides"
The covenant of Col. Roosevelt with
his people was not original, said the
senator, and many of the planks in
his platform are taken from the Dem
oeratie platform and are unfit for
anything but the floors of an insane
asylum
After Senator MeLeans speech.
which was received with cheers. the
usual committees were appointed and
the convention adjourned until 10 A.
NJ, tomorrow
The situation in regard to the CUB
ernatorial nomination was, tonight,
more of a conjecture than ever. The
managers of the candidacy of Lieut.
Gov Blaeeslee made the claim, late
tonight. that he had gained consider
aale strength and would get the nom
nation. On the other hand the friends
of the three other candidates, DR. q.
H. Knight. Judge J. p Studley and
Judge S. 4. Robinson insisted that
there had been no defections from the

NEW ELECTORS NEEDED
Because Six on Maryland Republican
Ticket Are Proeressives.

Baltimore. Sept 10.--rhe Republican
state convention will reassemble here, to-
morrow, for the purpose of naming six
Presidential electors. OF the eight cleo
tors chosen at the convention, last May,
six are avowed Roosevelt supporters.
Three of the number have resigned since
the denomination of President Taft. but
three others, Col. Joseph r. Baldwin,
David NJ Newbold, Jr., and William AL
ien have steadfastly refused TO get off
the ticket and will be deposed by the
convention, which will be controlled by
the regular Republican organization
While 1t is expected there will be some
Roosevelt delegates in the convention the
political leaders say 1t is their desire
that the supporters OF Col. Roosevelt
should not attend, as then contend that
the convention is illegal. They argue
that under the law, vacancies among the
electors can only be brought about
through death or resignation, in which
event the vacancies may only be filed
by the state central committee. The Pro-
gressive leaders will hold a conference,
next Monday, and adopt plans for the
nomination of eight Roosevelt electors
by petition.
