DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM
TO ASSAIL WHITMAN
g. o. p. Lawmakers Also To Be
Attacked for Waste.

The alleged extravaganza of Gov
ernor Whitman and the Republican ma
jority at Albany will be attacked in
vigorous terms in the Democratic plat
form that is now being prepared for
adoption by the convention at Saratoga
on Friday.
The platform will charge that there
was no necessity of imposing the big
direct state tax of last year, and that
it was made necessary only by the
reckless handling of the states money
by the Governor and the Republican
lawmakers.
The Governor will also be attacked
along with the Republican Senators
and Assemblymen for the passage OF
the reapportionment act, which was re-
Gently overruled by the Court of APP
peals. This, the Democratic platform
will charge, was a gerrymander pure
and simple.
The framing of the platform is in
the hands of a Subcommittee of the
platform committee, consisting of Sem
ator Robert Wagner, Senator James
Foley, Assemblyman j. F. Callahan,
minority leader of the Assembly; Mar
tin w. Littleton and Robert B. Van
Cortland The subcommittee met yes
terday and framed a tentative list of
planks.

Senator COnvinceS Muir
ply He Will Refuse To
Be Named for Governor.
OSBORNE is STILL
UNDER DISCUSSION
Failure to Find Candidate May
Force Tiger to Take
Seabury.

Senator Robert Wagner is out Of the
contest for the Democratic nomination
for Governor at the coming primaries
because. his close friends say, ne has
convinced Charles F. Murphy and his
upstate allies that he meant just what
he said when he declared that under
no circumstances would he be dragged
into the fight As result, Murphy
may have to take Judge Seabury as the
Democratic candidate for Governor,
even though at the present time he is
firmly opposed to the judge. Some Of
his close friends say that he has de-
clared that under no circumstances
will he stand for the nomination of the
judge.
The predicament that Murphy and
his allies find themselves in is helpful
to Judge Seabury. Try as they might
they have been unable to agree upon a
candidate who would be strong enough
TO defeat the judge in primary fight.
Senator Wagner could do this, and that
was one reason the upstate men were
for him. In addition, they believed
that he would capture the German
American vote, which looks mighty big
TO the Democratic politicians.
Thomas Mott Osborne continued to
be talked about yesterday by some OF
the Tammany men as a prospective
candidate for the nomination. Charles
fireman, of Ithaca, also was discussed.
Mr.. Osborne, as every one knows, is an
ardent anti-Tammany man, and, strange
to say, that is the reason he was IA
vored by the Braves. They realize that
an out-and-out Tammany man hasn't n
chance OF being elected Governor, so
they are now looking for an upstate
Democrat. In fact, it is said to be the
intention OF Murphy and his colleagues
to have the entire Democratic ticket
with the exception of the candidate for
United States Senator come from up
state.
Murphy and his allies will hold an
other conference to-day and endeavor
to find q candidate. IL is probable that
these conferences will continue until
when the Democratic chief
tains will start for Saratoga. In the
meantime the search for a candidate
TO beat Seabury will continue. There
was some gossip yesterday 10 the eff
feet that Murphy was not sincere in
his opposition TO the nomination OF
Judge Seabury; that the two were
working together, and that all the talk
of friction was more or less stage play
for the purpose of fooling the voters
into believing that Murphy and the
judge were bitter enemies when, as
matter Of fact, they were friends.

"When the women fight for MI
Hughes they are fighting for me-" Colo
mel Roosevelt told Miss Alice Carpenter
on Sunday at his home, at Oyster Bay.
Miss Carpenter is chairman Of the
Women's New York Committee of the
Hughes Alliance, formerly tho Women's
Roosevelt League. The organization,
still loyal to the great leader for whom
it was founded, but now working heart
and soul for Mr.. Hughes, changed its
name last week, as a matter of sound
political policy.
1--WE must follow Colonel Roosevelt's
lead in putting the election of Mr..
Hughes before any other consdera-
tion," it decided.
So the name was changed, and the
chairman of the organization went to
Oyster Bay to explain the matter to
Colonel Roosevelt. Far from being ag-
grieved, he smiled the famous I. r.
smile when he heard what had been
done. and commended the women
warmly.
81 am deeply touched by the loyalty
Of the Roosevelt women to me at this
time,p he said. But in a campaign it
is a great deal wiser to emphasize only
the one personality. | am thoroughly
in accord with what Mr. Hughes stands
for. We are fighting for the same thing,
he and /. When the women of your or
ganzation fight for Mr.. Hughes they
are fighting for me-"
Affiliate with Men.
The Women's New York Committee
of the Hughes Alliance is now allied
with the Mems State Committee of the
Hughes Alliance. They are submitting
their plans for publicity and their cam
paign outline to them, and will work in
touch with them, although along indie
pendent lines.
Wilson has made me a suffragist,"
wrote a prominent ex-anti-sufragist, a
member of the Colony Club, TO Miss
Carpenter yesterday.
She is ready to do anything for the

$4,000 Finance Committees
ToBe Named Through
out Country.
100000 CONTRIBUTORS
TO BE LINED UP
National Treasurer VIII Refuse
Cash from Corporations
Expecting Favors.

With the object Of financing Presi-
dent wilson's campaign for reelection
by popular subscriptions, Wilbur W.
Marsh. treasurer OF the Democratic
National Committee, has started out to
organize $4,000 Democratic finance
committees, or one in every city and
town in the United States. Mr.. Marsh
started his task week ago, and his
mail yesterday morning brought him
the information that nearly 500 OF
these committees had already been
organized.
Although no restrictions are placed
on the sum that can be contributed, it
is expected that 81 will be the favorite
contribution. Mr.. Marsh believes that
there are at least 100000 voters
throughout the country who are willing
and anxious TO make a small financial
contribution 70 help re-elect the Presi-
dent, and he has set out TO capture all
OF them.
Thousands Wish to Aid.
There are thousands of voters
throughout the country" Mr.. Marsh
said yesterday, who want TO ala
President Wilson's reelection by
sharing the burdens Of the campaign.
and there is no reason why they should
not be allowed TO do So"
II Mr.. Marsh's financial campaign is
a succcss-and those who know him
well say il will be a success-contribu-
tions front large corporations seeking
favors will be banned by the Demo
Gratis. Il Is known that President
Wilson is against contributions from
these sources. -Four years ago, it will
be recalled. he caused the return Of q
$4,000 campaign contribution from
Cyrus Mccormick, then head OF the
Harvester Trust.
Every city and town Will have a
Democratic finance committee OF seven
members, according 70 Mr.. Marsh s
plans, and he believes that within the
next two weeks at least 1000 Of them
will have started their work
Mr.. Marsh is also a firm believer in
"pitiless publicity" for campaign con
tributions. He said yesterday that
there was nothing secret about the
contributors 70 the Democratic cam
paign fund and that he was willing to
make the list public at any time, re-
gardless Of the provisions Of the Fed
eral law. This act provides for making
public the list of contributors sixteen
DAYS before election and for the filing
Of supplemental lists every six days
thereafter.

PROTEST TO FRANCE
ON BLACKLIST LIKELY
State Department Will Probably
Send Memorandum.

Washington, Aug. State Depart
uent officials admitted to-day that they
were considering the ACCESSIBILITY Of
sending France a protest or memoran-
DUN on the blacklist like that ad-
dressed to England several days ago.
Information has reached the depart
ment that the French, though no Of
fetal announcement has been made Of
it, are also boycotting American firms
suspected OF trading with enemies Of
the Allies. 1t is understood that the
French list is even larger than the
British.
Although the French blacklist, it is
understood, has been in operation for
some time few complaints have reached
the department. For that reason it has
been passed over, while the more seri-
Gus case Of British infringements was
taken up. AS the French had a com
paratively small part of the shipping
at American ports their blacklist has
had but a small effect.

WILSON TAKES UP
CAMPAIGN PLANS
National Battle Discussed
for Four Hours at the
White House.

Washington, Aug. IA decision to
start the Democratic national campaign
soon after September 1, regardless OF
whether Congress still is in session
then, was reached at a conference to-
day. at which President Wilson, Vance
c. Mccormick. chairman of the Demo-
cratic National Committee, and Homer
6. Cummings, the committees vice
chairman, were present. The two Demo-
cratic leaders took luncheon with the
President, and remained with him for
four hours, going over campaign plans.
While no date was set for the notl-
fication ceremonies, Chairman McCor-
mick said tonight that If Congress re-
NAMED in session after September l
the notification might take place be-
fore adjournment. Under such circum-
stances the President will go TO Shad-
ow Lawn, n. j., for the occasion and
return to Washington Immediately al
terward.
Ask Wilson to Speak.
Invitations sent to the President to
speak in various parts Of the country
we're considered at the conference to-
dav. Mr.. Wilson will make no definite
ENGAGEMENTS, however, until a date for
the adjournment of Congress is agreed
on. He already has promised to go 10
Hodgensville, KY, September, 4 to
speak at the Lincoln memorial exer-
cises, and has made tentative en-
gagement TO visit St. Louis September
10, 20 or 81 to address an organization
of underwriters. The Hodgensville
speech will be of non-political char
acter.
It was definitely determined that the
President would not speak In Maine,
where the election comes September II,
but he probably will write letters and
in other ways take part in the cam
pGign.
Battle All Along Line.
An active campaign will be carried
On by the Democrats In more states
this year than ever before, the two
leaders said after their talk with the
President No states will be conceded
TO the Republicans. they declared. The
Democratic organizations in Repubi-
can strongholds are being strengthened
with the idea of putting up a fight all
along the line.
Plans for winning the women voters
will be pushed actively. according to
Mr. Mccormick, in spite of the an
ncuncement of Charles f. Hughes. the
Republican nominee, that he favors n
Federal suffrage amendment A wom-
EMS bureau at the New York head
quarters will be organized in the near
future.

"Get ont Of here and get out quick

"Get ont Of here and get out quick"
was the way he went at it.
"Who the deuce do you think you
are-ordoring citizens OF the earth p"
demanded Darwin S. Lombard, vender
of per cent beer, who has followed
the camp through dry towns and wet,
selling his "2 per cent" in prohibition
places with impunity.
81 rented this place and | am going
to stay!" shouted another angry citi-
zen, while still others joined in the
general batting Of the military men.
One Of the officers said something
about getting the sheriff after them,
and then up spoke Lombard again.
"If you're looking for a sheriff, I'm
n deputy sheriff. What are you going
TO do about it?"
Called Their Bluff.
As a matter of fact, the officers didn't
know just what they were going 10 do,
for the civilians had called the bluff of
the soldiers. And then Major Lawton
himself came along and sized the situa-
tion up.
"Now, look here, men," he said, 1--WE
have no right TO order you away. You
are on a public highway, and you have
as much right there as any one else,
but If you stay you are going TO make
IL impossible for US TO handle our
transportation through here, and, what
is more, you are liable to endanger the
safety of our men. AS | say, we
haven't any control over you person
ally, but we have got absolute control
over our own men, and if you don't
take our request simply as one man TO
another TO move, we will put guard
here and prohibit a single one of our
men from buying anything from you,
and you won't sell cents worth. We
are not commanding you. we are just
asking you TO make our job easier"
The hucksters saw the logic Of the
matter when it was put this way. Most
particularly, they saw that their days
profits would be all loss. So with many
bows and certainly, sirs," and "we'll
be glad TO cooperate in every way"
they moved their tents and counters,
their goods and bottles, including LON
bard and his per cent beer. back into
a field and left the road wide open.
