concessions to him, but would favor
any getting together of Republicans
ana Progressives that might be worked
out IN satisfactory manner in which
Colonel Roosevelt's support and that
of many Progressives could be OBJ
tanned for any good Republican.
What candidates would | prefer?
It's too early to talk about possible
candidates now. There's plenty of time
to talk about candidates after we know
what we are going TO do and how we
arc going to do it,"
Daniel Stroebel, Of Herkimer, the
recognized leader of organization Re-
publicans in Herkimer County, ex-
pressed the opinion that the sentiment
of the organization men in his county
so far was largely for Whitman for Gov
ernor. and he would prefer ex-senator
Human, of Binghamton, for United
States Senator il Mr.. Root could not
be persuaded TO succeed himself. II it
was possible, however, TO make sat
isfactory alliance with the Progress
sives behind any good Republican for
a state ticket, he said, "the Republl-
cans would be fools not TO take ad-
vantage of it,"
Senator Seth Heacock, whose candi-
dacy for the Republican nomination for
Lieutenant Governor was announced
several weeks ago, is resident OF
Herikmer County, and the organization
there is seeking to guide itself care
fully between all other candidates. so
as not to endanger Mr.. Heacock's posi-
bilities.
River Counties in Line.
In all of the Hudson river counties
strong Republican organizations are IN
GOOD working order, and IN most Oh
them the county chairman Is In posi-
ton to speak for his assistants:
Citv Judge George Overocker, Of
popyhkeepsie. chairman of the Dutch
ess County Republican Committee,
s+ropo Barnes man, is emphatic in his
support of Whitman for Governor and
does not look with favor on any al
lance with the Progressives, believing
that the Republicans should go ahead
and nominate their own ticket this
fall and that they can elect 1t, no mat
ter what the Progressives, Tammany-
ties or Sulzer Democrats may do.
Philip Eltinge, of Kingston, chairman
of the Ulster county committee, is ali
even stronger organization man than
Judge Overocker. He thinks ait looks
like Whitman" and he would not favor
any attempt to turn the Republican
party over TO Roosevelt" and he does
not see how any alliance with the Pro-
gressives can be made without doing
that. Mr.. Eltinge is anxious to have
William D. Cunningham, of Ellenville,
Ulster County, who was the Republican
nominee for State Controller two
wears ago, nominated for that position
this fall. 1t is said in Kingston that
Messrs. Eltinge and Cunningham re-
Gently went to New York to consult
Mr.. Whitman TO see if an arrangement
could not be made to have Mr.. Cum
ningham as the Controller candidate
on the Whitman ticket, in return for
which Mr.. Whitman was assured OF
liberal support in Ulster County.
A. II. Cook, an independent Repub-
lican, of Kingston, who in opposition to
the Republican organization was twice
elected County Treasurer and once
Coroner, is strongly opposed to Mr..
Whitman, thinking the District At
torney has greatly overplayed his
newspaper publicity racket" He claims
that there is much opposition to Whit
man throughout the county, and that
either Hedges or Human would receive
stronger support for Governor than the
New York District Attorney.
