The following delegates at large to

O'Gorman, william Church Osborn,

To Vote for Wilson.
The delegates to the national con-
vention. who comprise New York's
big four were unpledged. but were
nominated with the understanding
that they are to work for Il second
term for Mr.. Wilson.
The keynote speech, delivered by
former Governor Martin II. Glynn. as
permanent chairman, aroused much
enthusiasm.
In addition to commencing the ac-
tions of Mr.. Wilson during his admin
istration, It replied directly TO the
criticisms of the president and his
foreign policies made by former Sem
ator Elihu Root at the recent repub-
lican state convention in New York.
AT the conclusion of the speech the
adopted a resolution pro-
viding for the distribution by the
democratic state committee of l,0O0,-
900 copies throughout the country.
The platform expressed the faith of
New York's democracy in the presi-
dent and urged his denomination and
recollection. It was adopted enthus-
iastically amid prolonged cheering. II
dealt solely with national issues
A futile attempt was made by advo-
Gates of woman suffrage to insert in
the platform plank pledging the
party to support the movement.
Glynn Replies to Root.
Governor Glynn gave his party's
answer to the speech for former Unit
cd States Senator Elihu Root before
the republican state conference in
New York several weeks ago. Taking
up Mr.. Roots charges against the
present national administration he
answered each point. lie also took
Mr.. Root to task for his speeches in
the United States senate and for his
acts as secretary of state of the Unit
ed states
The federal reserve act, the Under
wood tariff, foreign affairs and pre-
paredness were all dwclt upon by the
former governor.
After reviewing the legislation en-
acted during the democratic control
of congress Mr.. Glynn replied to Mr..
Roots reference to the federal re-
serve act. lie charged that Mr. Root,
MS senator, opposed the passage Of the
measure.
Praises Bank Act.
"The law" continued Mr. Glynn,
''is one of the greatest achievements
Of any administration in the last
fifty years. There never has been a
finer exhibition of foresight and
statesmanship than that exhibited by
the president in insisting upon the
of the federal act. Subse-
1uent events showed the president /!
was prompted by wondrous economic I
Insight. The republican party has
had possession of the government !
since 1861, with the exception Of Mr. +
rlevelands two terms. During all ,
hat time the necessity for financial !
legislation never was SO great nor so
imperative. The republican party
stands convicted of absolute impo
ence and incompetence because il
'ailed utterly to meet the. situation"
Prevented Panic.
This legislative act, former Govern
,r Glynn said, saved the country from
panic when tho European war broke
nut. II enabled the financial officers,
le said, TO meet the demands made
ipon American business and finan
-ial interests and saved them from a
epetition Of the panic of 1907 which
he speaker characterized as pain
ul experience" that would always he
IN "indictmcnt of the republican +
'arty."
"Mr. Root" he declared, "was n
,art of Mr.. 1oosevelt's administra-
ion in 1907 and shares with Mr.
roosevelt and the leaders of the re-
publican party the responsibility for
he wholly unnecessary and calami-
Gus happenings of that panic"
