SARATOGA, N. Y, Aug. 18-Ad-
dressing the New York Republican
state convention which met here to-
day under the novel condition of
being without power to nominate can
Ididates for office, since the new pri-
mary law calls for their selection by
the voters of the party at the pri-
mary election on September 80,
United States Senator Elihu Root,
the temporary chairman Of the COLI
vention, pointed out the most essen
tial factors which might lead to Re-
publican success this fall. I
It is, as he noted, the first time in
eighteen years that, the Republican
party Of the state comes to. the cleo
ton of its state government and Its
national representatives as the party
of opposition both In the state and
nation. The party was about to ap-
peal. he said, to the voters Of the
state not only for judgment upon
the. conduct of the government by
the Democratic party at Albany,
but also In Washington.
Democrats Have Failed.
He charged that since the Demo
cratic party took possession Of the
national government a year and q
half ago, with program '.by which
they proposed to set free every
American from the incubus OF too
great success by others, to reduce the
cost Of living, and to give new life
and prosperity to American produc-
ton and commerce." 1t had failed.
He took up particularly the ex-
periments with the tariff, which he
asserted had been carried out In o
spirit of hostility to American in
dustry, and suggested that perhaps
the time has now come when the
american people are ready again to
try the protective system upon its
merits and to call for legislation In
spired by a spirit Of friendliness to-
ward American industry. " He be-
lieved NO one could claim and re-
duction in the general cost Of living
as result Of the tariff for revenue
only.
He likewise attacked the Demo-
cratic program in relation to the
financial system and the control Of
trusts and corporations. He remark
ed that eight months had passed
since the banking and currency act
became law, and that the delay in
putting this into operation. together
with the proposed Legislation against
trusts and corporal IONS had had an i'll
erect on the country. The spirit o.
the dominant party, . he said In deal.
ing with these business problems, Inn
