Sulzer Is Doomed For
New York Governorship
Special to The Tslsgrdth

Albany, N. Y, Jan. 2.-Chester G,
Platt. of Batavia, who was secretary to
Ex-Governor Sulzer, Is here to or
ganize a movement looking to the re-
election of Sulzer as governor. He
hopes to have his plans in such shape
by the day Of the primary election that
the deposed governor will be candi-
date unless, as Mr.. Platt expressed it,
John A. Hennessy should prove to be
a stronger candidate.
Suffers dearest wish, according to
his ex-secretary, Is to sit in the COVER
nor's chair on January l, 1915, and
again to occupy the Executive Man
sion, calling it THE Peoples House.
The first formal announcement, MIR.
Platt said, would be at a dinner in AL
bany, with covers laid for 1,20O or
1900 persons.
One of Sulzer's first acts as Assem-
blyman, according to Mr.. Platt, will be
to introduce resolution providing for
continuation of the graft investiga-
tions started by Hennessy.

Horses on York Road

Finally he called for the repair wa

The current was passing directly to

THE TANGLES OF LOVE

have both told her we love her, but
he went to a dance, met her there
and dished me out. Do you think it
would be mean IL I try to win her
away from him, as cannot live with
out her?"
Not True
The idea of a man named Pat step
ping as ask such a question:! He is
not a true Irishman, or he would not
stop to ask il he should try to win
the girl he loves from some other
man; even though the other man
''dished him OUT!
1t has always seemed to me that
the lover who doubts if he has a
right to win his sweetheart doesn't
rival spurring him to action. he drops
beside the road and wonders il he has
a right to stay in the race!
Really, If the girl has any spirit in
her she will accept the man who
fights the longest for her. even though
she may love the other man the more.
One who hesitates foolishly writes:
Il am seventeen and am employed in
a wholesale house where a young man
is employed who loves me. He would
like to marry me, but gets only S11
a week, and wants me to wait five
years. Another young man who gets
more wants to keep company with
me. 1 am not tickle, but want to do
the right thing"
1t is never the right thing for a
girl of only seventeen, too young to
know her own mind and heart, to be
bound to a promise to marry man
five years hence. The chances are that
he may not be in a position financially
to marry at the end of that time, and
that both will find their love cooled
with the waiting. To accept the at
tentions of the other man is no proof
of flckleness. Fickleness exists only
where there is love or it's pretense.
She has never claimed either. She

Know what. my dear? That you are
infatuated, or that you have money :?
For an impulsive young woman of
twenty-one, one will be as difficult as
the other, for money has a way of
making its presence known, and Love
has to know more years than you
have known to be easily silenced.
Bashfulness is a good trait, partic-
ularly commendable where the girl
has money. He at least is not mer-
cenary, or he would babble like a
brook to attract your attention. Ask
him to call and show him that you
are pleased with him, remembering
always, for your own safeguard, that
he is a comparative stranger, and
that the sentiment which you con-

childish attraction. Impulsiveness is
fine trait but may the ranks of
guardian angels be doubled around
