ARE ALSO UNDER BAN
Former Started Governor in Poll
tics - Administration Wants
Break with Tammany.

OF their type from pdillClpdtlOh ~
Democratic politics before President
Wilson will indorse the Governors pro-
gramme of uplift.
This statement was made last night
bv one in the confidence of the Presi-
dent. This man, whose name is with
held. said that the President would not
recognize any reform or uplift OF the
Democratic party III this state that did
not include the elimination OF Charles
F.. Murphy and other leaders of his
type," not only as factors in the state
Democracy. but as county leaders as
well.
THE President" said this authority,
lis from Missouri He wants to he
shown. He is sitting back watching
the fight in this state. and he Will no,
approve Governor Glynns course until
he sees how far he carries the fight into
the 'enemy's country
Wants Break with Tammany.
"The encmys country" is Tammany
Hall itself, and the men who control
the state Democracy at tho present
time-Murphy, McCooey and McCabe-
are the enemies. Nothing short of an
open break with Murphy and leaders
Of his type" and their actual retirement
from the party's councils will satisfy
the President.
The mere election Of William Church
Osborn 20 head Of the Democratic
state Committee. which Is scheduled
for to-day, and the creation Of large
state executive committee filed with
the "highbrows" Of Democracy, such
as is contemplated by Governor Glynn,
will not satisfy the President.
What the President insists upon .
NIurphy's retirement, McCabes retire
ment. McCooey's retirement and the
retirement Of other leaders Of their
type"
The same authority also said that
the general opinion that the Governor
and William T. McCombs, the chair
man Of the Democratic National Com
mittee. who are openly conducting the
"upllft" movement, had the backing Of
the federal administration at any time
was wrong.
When Governor Glynn, accompanied
by McCombs, saw the President few
weeks ago, the prevailing belief was
that McCombs visited the White
House at the invitation Of the Presi-
dent. This, it was said. was not true.
The fact, according TO Tho Tribunes
informant. was that Governor Glynn
made the appointment for himself
alone. and that McCombs just trailed
along.
President Displeased.
One thing that has displeased the
President is the early adjournment OF
the LEGISLATURE The last day the
Legislature will sit is March 81. This
day was fixed by the Tammany Senate
and was approved by the Assembly.
The President hopes that this date
will not interfere with the passage of
the amendments 10 the direct primary
law. which. II passed, will bring about
a. situation IN this state similar to that
in New Jersey. and thus end boss rule.
The early adjournment will not be &C
cepted by the President as an excuse
for the shelving of these amendments,
which were Endorsed by the National
Democratic Club some weeks ago at
the same meeting It attacked Charles
i. Murphy.
Friends OF the President point out
that the one big reason why the Tam
many Senate in the opening week Of the
LEGISLATURE set this early date for ad-
iournment was to prevent the passage
OF any real progressive legislation.
Glynn Loyal to McCabe.
Governor Glynn will have hard sled
ding TO live UP to the standards set for
him by the federal administration
Not that he would not want to, but be-
cause of his sense Of loyalty and his
ambitions. He is ambitious TO be Gov
ernor again, and he knows that it viii
be next to impossible 10 get the nom
ination without the aid Of Tammany
Hall, which controls the Democratic
State Committee and, in turn. the state
Democracy.
He owes much to McCabe for his
start In politics. 1t was McCabe who
had him nominated for Congress. with,
it must be admitted, the backing Of the
better element OF the Albany Democ-
racy. McCabe is a friend Of Murphy
and a friend of McCooey. He would
rot stand for their retirement from
politics, and it goes without saying that
he would fight to the last any attempt
TO Gust him or his friends.
Whether the Governor will rise above
his feelings OF loyalty to McCabe and
do what the President expects him to
do-oust Murphy McCabe, McCooey
and leaders OF their type"-remains TO
be seen.
Governor Meets Leaders.
Governor Glynn was IN town yester-
day. In his apartment in the Wander
bilt Hotel. holding conferences during
the day with Democratic leaders.
Among them were Dudley Field Ma
lone. william f. McCombs, Patrick
