AiEANv Nov ii don't believe that

state of New York. and ! know that no
twelve. SIX or one man of the Demo-
cratic party will run me. Tammany
Hail Will no, run me- neither will the
members of what was known as the
Saratoga conference run me-
Gov. ,iiynn said it with considerable
emphasis lie had just been talking
ahout compensation for workingmen. the
conservation question and the problem of
direct primaries. about each Of which he
has decided ideas
As the Governor told the Democratic
editors of the state recently he told THE
SvN tu-day--ho is not going to initiate
.-y OF IN. great Democratic statesmen
,,uo have gone before. lie has methods
uf procedure OF his own.
lie holds the theory that the sam" cir
,ums'Huc,s on political questions do not
lapp-n twice in any short space of time,
and he Intends +" lie "A Governor Of ad-
M nistra,ion rather than a Governor of
ua'rorage. In politics. he says. there is
- duality OF leadership. n leadership OF
IDEAS and q leadership of organization.
GOV ,iiynn has tn" inclination I" partici-
nate in tn. leadership "f idcas.
Tradition and precedent play large
flrt N moulding his ideas, hut in new
circumstances he is quite apt Ia have
Nv ideas.
Il think Disri.li was right, said Gov.
,.Iynn. when he SAID that within every
nation thcrr are two nations. the riCh
and the poor. Tho rich are always able
10 talk. ear. "f themselves III" poor need
consideration moro than help. II they
receive consideration they Will he able
to help themselves.
That is the reason | Was -" strongly
IN favor Of II wurkmcns compensation act
., the last session OF the Legislature.
However, | do not believe that IA work
mems compensation act should be OF a
cuniiscatury nature | think II ought to
protect the workingmnn, and in my "pin-
.on when t does protect the workingman
i, ultimately protects the employer.
Arguments for Socialism,.
"One Of the greatest visual arguments
IN behalf of socialism to-day is the
man stumping around on wooden leg,
or STRUGGLING through life with one arm.
as the result OF an industrial accident.
Some sound and reasonnh. method OF
providing for the man injured while as
cunning the incidental risk OF earning his
b4,ad would be promotive In my opinion
ni social rest and foster a desirable in
,lop.ndcnce among the working class.
Il have always had IL notion. too, that
the states policy of investing millions
of dollars in forest preserves and then
denying all use of them to the people
was AN unwavrantable use of the people s
money. II in this State We could adopt
some such policy about the utilization OF
our forest preserves for the benefit and
enjoyment of the public as Germany has
adopted in the Black Forest Of the Hartz
Mountains that would bring about re-
suit greatly to be desired.
For instance, the forest preserve OF
the Catskill Mountains could be made a
prcat camping ground and great breath
ing space for the people of New York
city in the summer time. The same
lining could be said OF the Adirondack
Ir.scrve, though far less accessible than
the Catskill region to the crowded metro
Lul,tin district.
AT heart | am in favor OF p direct
primary proposition that wouid give a
,ruc expression of the peoples Will. Fash
ions in direct primaries however. vary
AVID chang. almost as much as styles In
vgludn'S dress and hats, and here at AL
H. uy il seems almost impossible to get
"u' dozen prominent men to agree on 9
iood direct primary proposition.
