special Dispatch to The Star.
ALBANY, N. Y. August 14.-By the
selection Of Miss Harriet May Mills
OF Syracuse as the regular candidate
Tor secretary of state-the New York
democratic leaders have succeeded in
stirring the interest of local voters
and have added another feature to a
campaign that is expected to prove
the most strenuous in the history of
this state. The nomination, or sug-
gestion, of Miss Mills was a distinct
surprise to politicians in this sec
ton of the country and all will watch
the result with deep interest. Since
New York state women were enfran-
chised Miss Mills has taken an active
part in democratic politics.
She was one of New York states
big four" delegates at large to the
national convention at San Francisco,
but had a misunderstanding with GER
tain Tammany Hall leaders on the
west coast. She was the storm CEN
ter at San Francisco for a few days,
and it was generally conceded that
she had just about forfeited all claim
to attention or consideration for any
thing big in New York state poll
tics as long as they are controlled
by the present leaders.
How the Nomination Came.
With the gathering of the democrats
at Saratoga for their state conference
Miss Mills name was linked with the
state ticket. but the San Francisco
episode was recalled and no serious
consideration was given her candi-
dacy. But on the second day of the
conference it was definitely under
stood that none other than Charles F.
Murphy, Tammany Hall chief, had
suggested Miss Mills as the nominee
for secretary of state. 1t was de-
clared that Murphy had investigated
the San Francisco incident when Miss
Mills quarreled with ex-Representa-
tive John ]. Fitzgerald of Brooklyn
and discovered that she was not at
fault. Further, it is understood, he
expressed admiration of Miss Mills
qualities as a fighter and left the i'm ;
preston that he would be pleased if
she were given a place upon the state
ticket. She comes from Syracuse, the
home district OF Judge Nathan L; MIL
Ter, the republican gubernatorial
nominee, and is expected to hold to
the democrats whatever independent
vote might have swung to Miller. In
addition she is expected to receive
the support of thousands of woman
voters Of New York state.
The women have made big issue OF
Miss Mills candidacy and are going
into the campaign with great ear
nestness. 1t is regarded as a real test
of the female vote by the old guard
leaders of both parties and they Will
closely watch the result as an indica-
ton of the true strength of the wom-
en- at this time. AS Miss Mills was a

to bring out the full strength Of the

Political Campaign Under Way.
The political campaign is now un-
der way in New York state with can
didates touring the state making
stump speeches and urging the sup
port of the voters. All of the cam
paigners at this time are independent
candidates, whose fate will be settled
at the primaries, September IA, but
they are stirring and holding the in
terest of the voters. The republican
organization is facing an attack upon
its gubernatorial candidate that is
giving leaders considerable worry in
certain sections. Elon H. Hooker and
Secretary of State Francis NJ. Hugo
will both oppose Judge Nathan L..
Miller in the primaries, but their de-
maries it is expected that they will
swing into line behind the organiza-'
ton ticket. AS matter of fact, 1t
is declared. an agreement to that ef-
feet has already been made.
George Henry Payne has succeeded
in securing the Endorsement of pow
erful labor organizations in his drive
upon United States Senator James w.
Wadsworth, jr., but it is believed that
he will be defeated. II Payne fights
through to the regular election, ne
will undoubtedly bring about the de-
feat of Senator Wadsworth and the
election of the democratic candidate.
The state democrats also have a
couple of primary contests on their
hands. and Mayor George X. Lunn OF
Schenectady is now out stumping the
state as an opponent of Lieut.. GOV.
Harry c. walker for the nomination
for United States senator.
Tnmmany Creates Harmony.
Tammany Hall has succeeded in
uniting the democratic party in the
state, and will throw its fullest
strength into the campaign for the
national ticket. At Saratoga scores
of bitter anti-Tammany men were
seen in the foreground at the con-
ing of everything upon the schedule.
In this same connection II was
noticed that the crowds at the notin-
cation of Franklin D. Roosevelt at
his Hyde Park home last Monday in
cluded a big delegation Of Tammany
Hall men. To political observers OF
this state the sight of Martin G.
McCue of Tammany Hall leading
three cheers for Franklin d. Roose-
welt at Springwood was somewhat Of
a shock. Yet Mr.. McCue expressed
his absolute sincerity, and Mr.. Roose-
welt seemed distinctly pleased and
properly satised that nothing was
amiSs.
Organization leaders Of both parties
are indulging in a short rest period
before entering the strenuous cam
of their time to the consideration Of
campaign plans. Once the drive gets
under way there will be no let up.

Republican Factions ut Odds.
On the republican side things are
not running as smoothly, it developed
at the convention. All efforts to har-
monte and bring together the Nor
gan faction. which represents the old
guard to large extent, and the
Montgomery wing, which includes
the labor element, have proved flu
tile. The warfare has been carried {
into virtually all the courts Of the
state. The latest legal action has
come from Montgomery, who has filed,
a petition before Judge H. D. Rum r
NELL in Kanawha county circuit courts
asking for judicial inquiry into "the =

which use he charges Morgan with
