Utica, Aug. 28.-The progressives |repudiated Sulzer yesterday, cast off Hinman, resurrected the Armaged- don spirit of two years ago and in the face of wild cries from a handful of Sulzer boomers that the primary law was being knifed and the party's gos- pei profaned nominated an all pro- gressive ticket by suggesting candi- dates.
 Col. Roosevelt before the slate was officially adopted by the state com nittee in the Hotel Utica conference told State Chairman Robinson over the telephone that he would stump the state for it in October and early November except for few days.
 Attempt Fails Utterly.
 An attempt by William Halpin to stampede the conference into naming Roosevelt for governor failed utterly. For the Colonel sent word that if they picked him he would have to write a letter of declination.
 There were only six Sulzer votes. in

Salts Is Fine For Kidneys
 Quit Meat
Flush the Kidneys at once when Back hurts or Bladder
 bOtherS.

No man or woman who eats meat regularly can make mistake by flushing the kidneys occasionally. says a well-known authority Meat forms uric acid which clogs the kid ney pores so they sluggishly filter or strain only part of the waste and poisons from the blood, then YOU get sick. Nearly all rheumatism, head aches, liver trouble, nervousness, constipation, dizziness, sleeplessress bladder disorders come from sluggish kidneys.
 The moment you feel a dull ache in the kidneys or your back hurts. or if the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sediment, irregular of passage or attended by a sensation of scaldiag, get about four ounces of lad Salts from any reliable pharmacy and take tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and Nour kidneys will then act fine. This Famous salts is made from the acid Df grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia and has been used for generations to flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to activity, also to neutralize the acids in urine so it no longer causes irritation, thus ending bladder disorders.
 lad Salts is inexpensive and can- not injure; makes a delightful effer- vescent lithia-water drink which all regular meat eaters should take now and then to keep the kidneys clean and the blood pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney complications.

 Tn accordance with this policy quite half of Poland was left bare of Russian troops and all public servants of Russia's state were warned to quit Betimes when the Germans advanced.
 Both the Austrians and Germans accepted the invitation to this easy conquest. There were no soldiers anywhere to meet the German in- vaders, whose cavalry raided as far as Lodz, but they have since been swept out again."

Colonel Roosevelt was told last night of the slate picked by the progressives at the Utica conference he expressed his appreciation.
 "I think the ticket is an excellent one," he said. "I hope that the pro- gressives will ratify it in the pri- r:aries and I think they will. l will do all in my power to elect the ticket.
 The colonel said he considered Frederick Davenport a fine selection. He called Davenport and Bainbridge Colby valiant warriors in the pro- gressive cause. He wouldn't comment on SulZer

 Michael J. Murphy of Livingston was requested" to run for secretary of state on the original ticket, but he said he'd rather run for assembly in his own county, and the committee after the conference was finished put MT. Toomy in his place. There was some talk in the state committee of asking MT. Robinson to resign, but it amounted to little.
 Davenport Jogs the Flock.
 Three candidates, Davenport, Ham, lin and Colby, were led to the plat form after the designations were made. MT. Davenport, who is professor of law at Hamilton college, Senator Roots alma mater, and who ran for lieutenant governor two years ago, jcgged the flock off it's feet.
 He said that the republican conven- ton at Saratoga had aroused the decent citizenship of the state like a fire bell in the night He confessed that he is a conservative radical, say ing: 1T opposed the wild western form of direct primaries, which is more or less the kind we have now.
 Governor Hughes was right when he said that along with direct con- trol you've got to have written into the law the principle of leadership. As to the initiative, referendum and recall I'm opposed to the far western wide open type. I believe in the Wis consin kind, which never operates as an emergency check after the legis- lot 1,1 nrft1 ifu fn 6 n if, duty.
 I'm also a conservative radical in regard to the recall. What we need in New York is a system that will call good men to office before we try to recall them.''
 Some of the progressives looked dubious and thought of Hinman, but most of them were satisfied. Delegates at Large.
 These candidates for delegates at large to the constitutional convention were designated by the conference:

ACE-OLD METHODS
 USED BY GERMANS Nature Places Difficulties in Way
 Of Russian Advance.

London, Aug. 2s, 5:25 A. M.-The Petersburg correspondent of the Post in describing the operations in East Prussia, tells of the difficulties which nature has placed in the way of the Russian advance and says the Ger mans had enormously multiplied these difficulties by modern adaptation of age-old methods. LakelOs and marshes were sown with rifle pits, and wherever practicable redoubts of felled timber were placed. Every where there were formidable wire entanglements.
 We have no exact information" the correspondent continues, "of how many army corps Germany had left to oppose the Russian advance. Per- haps there were seven and possibly only five. Whatever their number. three are retreating under cover of the fortress of Koenigsberg and one i" in full flight on Osterode. All four flung away in retreat their arms and ammunition and even their food.
 Abandons Entrenched Position.
 The Russian armies by forced marches have driven a wedge between the German forces. So demoralizins was the Russian commanders strategy that the German forces abandoned their entrenched position on the Angerapp without fight.
 The authorities of East Prussla have caught the panicky feeling rom Germany's armies. It Is reported that the commandant of Marienoerg has ordered the inhabitants to evacu- ate the country while at Elbing the sluices were opened with the object of flooding the country to prevent the Russian advance.
 No More Trained Troops.
 These are methods of despair and indicate pretty certainly that Ger many has no more trained troops to oppose the Russians.

 One of the other speakers shouted that ''Sulzer is a proved crook"
 Hamlin Assails Sulzer.
 Chauncey J. Hamlin, who was Fries choice for governor and who had to give way to ex-Senator Day. enport after William H. Hotchkiss had refused to stand for office, said in his speech accepting the nomina- tion for Lieutenant-Governor
 If the people are so foolish as to nominate Sulzer for governor I will go on the platform in every progress sive meeting and say I am his run ming mate and he is the worst faker who ever came into the state.' May be everybody except the disciples of 'the same old Bill'' did not shout You're right
 The test of the Sulzer strength ap- peared when the resolution asking candidates to enter the primaries was offered by William H. Childs of Brooklyn, chairman of the committee of twenty-one which selected the ticket and prepared the platform. The vote was 113 to for the resolution.
 Ticket Not Nominated.
 Theoretically the ticket named yes- terday is not nominated, though the word was used continually. The con- ference tried to enjoin criticism by

 "No, I'll help to stir them up, but I won't lead the fighting"
 And with his own gavel-he was presiding temporarily-the ex-state chairman ended that line of talk
 After speeches by Mr. Hotchkiss and Mrs Carrie Chapman Catt and Bainbridge Colby yesterday afternoon the real fun began.
 Referring to Col. Roosevelt as that great and good man from whom all blessings fow," MT. Colby said of Sen ator Root that "he reminded him of the English chancellor of whom it was said his mission was to nip in the bud the spread or human improve ment. He has a spontaneous aver sion to all reformers.'
 Straight Fight of the Wild Men.
 A moment later MT. Hotchkiss was shouting: Its going to be a straight fight of the wild men! Thank God for the term!"
 Wallace Thayer of Erie, catching the camp meeting spirit, cried: TWO weeks ago we were in the slough of despond Now we are raised to the old level because we have thrown away compromise and gone back to our own principles. How could we ever have thought of joining with the old party that shows no evidence of reform ?" @m..
 Thus far the conference had for gotten Col. Roosevelt. At the sugges- tion of Mrs. Grace Vanamee of New burgh it decided to send him ''mes- sage of greeting and encouragement"

grading and farming of the land be-
gan. IS time went by it was seen
that another town would be built,
to serve IS center for the great
western Iart of the valley, so Seeley
was laid ou and seems to have an as
sured future.
Redlanis people will be especially
interested in the fact that considera-
BILE of the capital which is making
Seeley comes from this city, or be-
longs to men living here, or those who
have lived here. Rev. w. G. Conley,
VINO was pastor of the Christian
church of this city for several years,
and who now fills a similar position
at Ell Centre, where he is widely es-
teemed, is the manager of the cor
poration which is developing the 'cOun-
try around Seeley and pushing the
town to the front. w. F. Holt of this
city is president of the company. W.
T. Bill is also interested in it. These
three names mean that the best pos
siLlc business methods will be used
in The promotion work; that any rep
resentations made to incoming set
tiers and to investors will be conser-
waive and dependable. Both Mr.. Holt
and Mr.. Conley have erected substan-
tial brick business blocks in the new
town. Mr.. Conley is president of the
bank-think of that-preacher and
bank president. Not often do the two
"jobs" go together.
Seeley has as its future that of a
cotton growing center apparently.
There were 5000 acres in cotton on
the west side this year and a modern
gin and compress are now in progress
of erection to take care of the crop.
This coming season will see 10000
acres Of cotton in and around Seeley.
OF course, there are the usual crops of
alfalfa and other feed stuffs, with
poultry and stock raising, but cotton
will be king, all right, at Seeley. The
town is on the line of the new rail
road reaching down to San Diego and
will enjoy the distinction and profit
by the fact, later on, that it is on a
main line. In this point it will have
an advantage over some of the other
towns of the valley. The editorial
