CONVENTION PLAN
FOR REPUBLICANS
Continued from pare I

The spirit OF the direct primary law is
that il provides a veto power on the
acts OF some body. The law was con-
ceived in hypocrisy and born in ignc-
rance. Somebody somewhere is gong

who he is or where he will be when he
does it. But l want to be on that
ticket"

and to perform such other duties as
il may see fit"
AZ this opened the door for the recon-
mendation Of candidates for admins

busy and Herbert Parsons offered an
amendment to the WINS amendment
but IT is the sense Of this meeting that
such convention shall not recommend a
candidate for any other Office except that
of delegate TO the constitutional con-
vention."

London, May 29-The Chief Secretary
for Ireland IS making A fresh investi-
CATION into the possible boundaries Of
that part OF Ulster which may be ex-
cluded from the operations OF the Home
Rule act. II was at first the intention
OF the government 10 deal with the
counties as integral units, but that
brought into prominence the impossi-
bility OF treating In this way those coun-
ties. such as Tyrone and Fermanagh,
whore there is a very even balance OF
Unionsts and Home Rulers.
Maps are therefore being made with
the object OF defining not by county
boundaries but by religious census those
parts of counties which might be ex-
Guided under the amending bill. This
will not satisfy the Ulster party, for
il IL becoming increasingly clear that
they will insist on their demand for
the exclusion of the whole province, az
they consider il impossible 20 cut 10
up into fractions on any principle which
would not inhict great hardship on the
Protestant communities.

The Convention Call.

The call. ss issued by III. state COM
mittee. reads in part as follows
'rhe Republican voters. and all other
voters of the state of New York. with
out regard &c past political liations'

publican party and indorse it's policies
and are not enrolled in any other party,

at Saratoga Springs. on Tuesday, August
18, 1914. at ! o'clock a. m, for the fol-
lowing purposes:
First-To consider the resolution

Committee on the 18th day of December,
1918, providing for new basis of rep
resentation in Republican nation II con-

unless ratified by a sufficient number or

Second-To recommend to the enrolled

excluding enrolled members OF other par
ties was then added.
Under the basis OF representation estab-
lshed by tho state commission In 1883
and continued ever since, the convention
will consist OF $40 delegates, apportioned
among the Assembly districts according
to the vote cast for the Republican cam
ddato for President In 1917

II will be one OF the smallest conven-
tons I'm years. Chairman Barnes er-
planned a plan for getting 1000 sustain
ing members OF the state committee,
each TO contribute $40 n year.
IF we can put this committee on a
self-supportng basis he said, we
shall have made a great advance. IL
will save us from going around to in
dviduals for large contributions. Al
though I have never taken a contTou-
ton with any understanding that some
thing should be done in return, there
is danger of being misunderstood. We
want TO arrange for a sure income every
year"

off, but there was about $500 in the
bank.
Under the new direct primary law
there are 10 be only two official COM
mittees, the state committee and the
county committee. The state commit
tee. however, passed a rule for the
forming OF unofficial committees for
the smaller political subdivisions, to DO
made up OF two members Of the county
committee from each Assembly district
These committees were empowered TO
fill vacancies in the nominations, no
provision for which is made in the law.
Senator EIon T. Brown. OF Watertown,
argued not only for a state convention to
recommend candidates for. all Offices. but
also unofficial conventions 20 recommend
candidates in the smaller subdivisions.
William D. Guthrie said that there was
no power on earth that could tie the
hands of a state convention and limit 1t
i its consideration OF candidates. Chair
man Barnes acknowledged that 10 be
true.
BY resolution Of Henry L. Stmson Sen
ator Root was requested to appoint
committee of twenty-five to draft a plat
form which shall set forth the attitude
of the party on the matter Of constitu-
tlonal amendments. which platform shall
he submitted TO the unofficial state con-
vention."
Mrs. Harriet Stanton Blatch, Of the
Women's Political Union, was permitted
to take the platform long enough TO eX-
press her approval Of convention.
