WALKER A POPULAR CHOICE
EoR SENATOR.

There couldn't have been any more
popular selection than that made in
the choice for United states Senator
and that was a ttcklish situation from
the fact Of the strong friendship
which exists between Senator James
Wadsworth and Gov. Smith. But the
friendship which has grown between
the Governor and Lieut.. Gov. Harry
G. Walker in the last two years is q
stesdfast one. 1t is a friendship
betweenS two strong and square
men.
Mayor IIunn is going into the pri-
mary battle. He will make the fight
on the ground that the Primary Law
was violated in the naming of any
body for any position. Naturally, the
rank and file of the party lay big
odds on the Lieutenant Governor, and
they believe NE Is going do be a tower
of strength to the ticket.
Senator Edward j. Downing, who
has worked in the Senate under the
presiding genius Of the Lieutenant
Governor, expressed what most of the
delegates were thinking when he said
that there could not have been a
stronger selection made for Senator
in the Democratic Party.

Walker" he said, could say anything
else but that he is one of the strong
est men in the State for the position.
He is a mans man, and anybody who
has ever had any dealings with him
is proud In the knowledge of his
friendship.
Not a delegate was to be found
who hadn't similar sentiments 10 ex-
press on Lieut.. Gov. Walker And
while Senator Bowling styled him a
mans man." he Is just as popular
among the women voters as he Is
with the men.
There was one disappointed dele
gate. She was Mrs. John Sherwin
Crosby, who presided over the con-
ference of women which selected
Miss Harriet May Mills for the nom
nation for Secretary of State. While
II was true that the women agreed
upon Miss Mills, It is equally true
that they didn't all agree upon Mrs.
Crosby.
There were unkind things said of
Mrs. Crosby, things which she last
night declared were hbellous, and she
announced that she was going to hire
a lawyer and go after the women who
hurled epithets at her during the con-
ference. Who the women were she
didn't say. and II she knows who they
are she Ia entitled 20 medal for per
spicacity.
Many OF the delegates were happy
to get away from here for other rea-
sons than the sense Of having done
something we'll. They had thought
that the high cost OF living was at the
peak in New York and other home
towns, but when they were con-
fronted with their hotel bills when
the wallets were already thin from
trying to keep alive for the three days
they had been here, they just gasped
and gave UP.
AsSEM6LYMAN M'CUE GETS A
HOTEL JOLT.
Assemblyman McCue was here with
Mrs. McCue and was told that he
could have a room without bath at
$40 q day for each OF the family.
Then McCue discovered friends who
had a room with q bath and sug-
gested to tho hotel management that
he be given the adjoining room, which
was done.
That was fine, thought McCue, and
he told some friends how he was get
ting his baths for nothing. But after
the conference was ended yesterday
he got hts bill and was staggered.
He and Mrs. McCue were charged $14
