for municipal operation, II in the opin-
len Of the Board Of Estimate and Appor-
tionment, either a contract for
equipment, maintenance and operation, or
contract for maintenance and opera
tion as provided for in the preceding
sections would be inexpedient, impracti-
cable or prejudicial to the public inter-
est If, however, the Board of Estimate
and Apportionment takes proper action,
it seems to me that the provisions Of
Section 80 are so broad and general as
to confer all necessary power for mu
nicipal operation. 1t is therefore my
opinion that no additional legislation
would be necessary should the Board of

commission at any time decide upon the

CHA|RMEN ARE FOR TAFT
Conference of Republican Lead
ers Reveals Strong Sentiment.
HENRY CLEWS VOICES IT
Forty or More Men from Upstate
Discuss New Organization
with Barnes.

There was no talk except for the re-
nomination of President Taft heard among
the forty or nor. Republican county chair
men who conferred nj state headquarters
with state Chairman Barnes Yesterday.
The meeting was called for the purpose Of
discussing the new organization under the
primary law and the method Of legally
conducting primaries this spring. There
was. however. q great deal 10 Informal
talk on tho Presidential situation.
The action Of the Republican County
Committe- in indorsing President Taft for
denomination on Thursday night brought
out lots Of strong Taft sentiment all over
the city Henry Clews. tho banker. said:
Il am quite Of the opinion that Presl-
dent Taft is entitled to denomination and
viii get H. lie is we'll qualified for
second term through tho experience which
his first term gives him. The next -four
years viii require man we'll tried In the
national service. with - iudicially trained
mind. conservative and honest. as ther"
arc many breakers ahead of MS that re-
guirc Just such sn Executive (" srapplc
with and carry ~ through successfully.
Il feel pretty sure that the interests of
my esteemed friend Colonel Roosevelt
viii bc better served by working for Pres
idcut TAFT aud aiding his election. His
pow erful influence will help immensely 10
bring about such a rcsul, and will inure
to Nis own advantage, as Mr.. Taft cannot
succeed himself after tho second term.
~ q ne~ man replaces Mr.. Taft he
win be eligible for another term. and
should he prove to bc good President
would be apt 10 get IT, whereas after Mr..
Tdft's next term the logical successor
would be Theodore Roosevelt. and his
chances then for election would bc infinite
is better than at the coming election
The prevailing sentiment among tho
county chairmen who talked with Chair
man Barnes was that the Republican organ
ization must 70 before the public this fdIi
on the record OF the last four years, and
that all suggestions Of nominating an
other candidate than President Taft would
involve a practical reputation of his adj
ministration. which could not be thought
Of for minute.
The sentiment against a third term for
Theodore Roosevelt was strong, they de-
cIared
Up our way we are satisfied that Pres
ident Taft has given an able and business
like administration" said James J.. I'M,
ChenanGo County chairman. our people
took Mr.. Roosevelt at his word when he
said he did not want a third term and
would not take one"
The word brought by II. 9. Carter
chairman of the Franklin County Com
mittee, was much the same. lie said his
organiza ton was against Roosevelt and
for Taft.
). s Koenig, president Of the New York
County Republican Committee. was not
present. His absence was explained by
saying that the problems Of the direct pri-
mary law were entirely different in this
city from what they, were in other parts
OF the state.
Chairman Barnes had no comment 10
make yesterday on the Endorsement or
Taft by the New York County Committee
on Thursday night.

SLAYDEN EXEMPTS TAFT
Amends Resolution Forbidding
Reelection Of Presidents.
IFrom The Tribune Bureau. ]

Washington. Feb. 2.-Representative Siay-
den. the Texas Democrat who would amend
cha Constitution so as TO debar any Presl-
dent from holding Office more than one
t.rm. relented to-day and modified lis
resolution so as to provide that the pro-
posed change shall not affect President
Taft IN the event of his reelection. In It's
original form the Slayden resolution was so
worded that President Taft would have
been ineligible TO serve again, provided cf
course. that the resolution became law ana
that three -fourths OF the states approved
the slayden idea.
Tho amended Slayden resolution PROV
that "after the Sd OF March. 1913, no person
who shall have been elected President CT
the United states shall be again ell sible for
election TO that Office"
Some Democrats in the House became
rather uneasy to-day about the possible
erect OF still another Slayden resolution
which proposes that the House shall chi
c,arv declare itself opposed to a. third
Term. Yesterday the Democrats hailed The
slaxden scheme as ideal, but to-day they
are wondering IL the resolution VIII not
cali TOO much attention 10 the Roosevelt
naovement.

MCABE THROWS BRICKS
Albany Democratic Boss Com
ments on His Party's Troubles.

Albany, Feb. 2.-Patrick r. McCabe, clerk
of the Senate and Democratic State Com
mittecman OF Albany, made some observa-
tions to-day relating to the prospective
selection Of new chairman Of the state
committee to succeed Norman Il. Mack,
Of Buffalo.
Mr.. McCabc complains that those with
experie lce in handling political matters are
Disseminated against by a score Of men
who assume I'm many cases TO reflect the
political needs and desires of the sturdy
Democracy OF New York, ~ whom they
know nothing and for whom they care
less. Some are strictly prohibited because
Of their race and creed" He added:
The question of suggesting the proper
person for the Craftsmanship is rife win
complications. Some want q man because
ne knows. some want man because he
doesn't Some want a man because he is a
Democrat: some want man because ne Is
an artStocrat. Some want n man because
he lives up the state; come want a map be-
cause he lives down the state. Some want
a man because he fits IN" place; some want
man because he insists IL. Some want
the part! 10 win; some want themselves
10 win. Some want man because nc IL
strong; some want man because ne ls
weak. Crafty men want their friends; (;
credulous men do not care 10 he bothered.
Some want To maintain control Of the state
organization: some want To obtain control
Of f. And so goes the intriguing. Each
man potent i'm the party, outside OF the or
ganization, has his own candidate for his
own special purpose. Tn" best man Is their
man. and the only reason why he is the
best man ia that he is their man.
Some want the election to take place at
once because they think they or their
friends lave chance now: some want It
delayed because they think they and their
friends will have a chance later.
" Is. consequently. easily understood why
so much time Is being gwen to this question
Of naming chairman for the Democratic
state Committee.
