WANTS WAGNER TO ANSWER
Sulzer Calls On Him to Explain
His Primary Stand.
fBy Telegraph 10 The Tribune

Buffalo. May Ex-Governor Sulzer issued
tonight a formal answer TO Senator Nag-
ners statement that the Governor knew
IL was untrue when he said he wrote the
Democratic platform. The Governor re-
iterated that he did write part OF it. but
insisted that the real issue was not who
wrote Il, but who was trying 10 repu-
date II.
Senator Wagner said the Governor.
says he wrote the Syracuse platform.
That is news TO me. as thought it was
handed 70 him.
AS a matter OF fact. those on the in
side at the Syracuse convention know
submitted several planks some OF which
were accepted and some OF which were
rejected. The platform would have been
better for the people IL all OF tho blanks
submitted had been accepted
However. il il immaterial now who
wrote the Syracuse platform. The real
question before the voters OF the state Is,
Who is repudiating It?
Judging by what Mr.. Wagner SAYS, he
and his friends want 10 repudiate the
platform. All ! want TO do is 10 redeem
the pledges In that platform, on which
Senator Wagner and were elected. I
am opposed TO cheating the people Is
Mr. Wagner?
The sad cry OF Senator Wagner sounds
like an echo. OF course. everybody knows
an echo never answered a question. Let
Mr. Wagner answer the question: Ia he
i'm favor OF carrying out the pledge for
direct primaries in the Democratic plat
form. or is he in favor OF repudiating
that pledge? That is the only question
the voter in Mr.. Wagners district wants
him 70 answer"
