ship. which Is o to he vacated by
Frederick C. Tanner. but the UP State
lenders insist that an up Slater get the
place. Glynn is from Syracuse. and
managed Governor Whitman's first cam

Tanner L. Outsp0ken.
This sort Of talk has been going around
for some time. and Mr.. Tanner. in n
speech last night before the Kings
County Republican Committee. very
pointedly asserted that the party organi-

by II can be generally stated that when
ever the organization. through its State
chairman. has in,erfered with the proper
duties of the Legislative or executive
branches of the government II has
brought disaster upon itself.
at can be further stated with like
truth that whenever party organization

but for personal objects, the same dis

The functions OF Governor and Of state
chairman are separate and distinct.
They never have been combined under
