TAFT CHOICE
IN NEW YORK

ROCHESTER,, N. Y, April TO- With
the four delegates-at-large to the Chi
cago convention selected and the plat
; form drafted by the committee on
resolutions, the delegates to the second
day session of the Republican State
convention today looked forward to
an early completion of their delibera-
tions.
Four or five speeches by prominent
State leaders, including United States
Senator Root, State Chairman William
Barnes, jr, former Speaker James w.
Wadsworth. jr., William M. WINS and
Job Hedges, of New York. outlining the
party policies, were expected to pre-
cede the final ratification of the plat
form, after which the delegates-at-
large would be formally elected by a
vote of the delegates and the conven-
ton adjourned.
The committee on resolutions COM
pleted its draft of the platform, in
which the New York delegation to the
national convention was urged to vote
for the denomination of President Taft.
This action on the part of the COM
mittee, which was almost unanimous,
was taken to prevent a fight on the
floor over the question of whether the
four delegates s-at-large should be
specifically instructed" or not.
The resolutions committee nominated
as delegates large Senator Root,
Chairman Barnes William Berri, of
Brooklyn, and Edwin A. Merritt, jr.,
speaker of the Assembly.

Newark postoffice is inadequate was
admitted today by Postmaster Frank
]. Book, who declared that efforts

garding complaints here.
An irate man who received a de-
famatory postcard four months ago
and reported the matter called on
United States Commissioner Richard

the reason why the matter had not

made SO much noise that his entire
case was heard in the adjoining room.
He had received the card last Decem-
ber, he declared and took it to the To-
cal postal authorities, offering to make
a complaint and prosecute the writer.
Commissioner Stockton's advice was
asked at the time and he declared that
the nature of the language on the post
card left no doubt that a fragrant vio-
lation of the federal law governing this
situation had been committed. The
commissioner fold his visitor today that
the matter was in the proper hands, the
postoffice inspectors at Philadelphia.

Commissioner Stockton admitted TO
Christian Lehman, of Summit the COM
plainant, that nothing was heard of the
matter until a second letter was writ

pressure of business had caused it to
be overlooked and would be attended
to. Since that date. January 26, moth

authorities here that this character Of
letters and postal cards has been in

past year. 1t is termed a wave" by

Walling, Tenn, Aug. 2G, 1912.
Mr.. Charles Hash,
Chattanooga, Tenn.
Dear Sir:
hear you are manager for Joe Will,
liams, our candidate for Congress. I
am glad you are. He worked for me
as a farm hand away back in 1890. He
had worked on the Doyle Section of
the Nashville Raillo DAD and came to
Walling wanting to hire out. | need
ed hand and so hired him, and he
lived at my house for some time. He
was there trying to earn money to go
back to school at Doyle College. |
never saw a more hardworking or
faithful young man. We have all
been interested in the success he has
made. He came from the ground up.
His father was school teacher and
preacher, who did much for his peo-
pie.
l believe White County will give
him a majority of at least 9, 900 in the
primary. The sentiment for him is
the same over in Warren County,
where / believe he will get nearly
solid vote. | am also told he is just
as strong in Van Buren, and Franklin
Counties. This country needs such
men in Congress. They have hearts
and do not forget to legislate in the
interest of the masses.
am told the Chattanooga Times
has slurringly referred to you.as Joe's
campaign manager. This is being
spread all over Warren County and
will make Joe several hundred votes.
The Times must be Republican pa
per. Maybe it don't remember your
beloved father, Capt George Hash,
who was brave Confederate soldier,
and who as you know died from
wounds received at Chattanooga. Such
articles won't do Judge Moon any
good in Franklin, Warren and these
counties over here.
All the Republicans so far as can
lea1n are for Moon, but they won't be
to vote.
| hope you succeed in your efforts to
elect a boy that have always believed
would amount to something and would
be an honor to his people.
Your friend
(Signed) G. W. CHISAM.
