Mr.. Bryan found a significance in the
enfranchisement of women just as the
federal prohibition amendment took ef-

Referring to domestic problems, Mr..

while the boys abroad were bleeding, the
profiteers were bleeding the people at

with the profiteers and have got to give

Mr. Bryan declared that in his opinion

the State leaders. II was assumed that
when "Ar' stepped into the Capitol old
time patronage rules would be in force
again. But the Governor has stood upon
his right to pick his own men for inn
portant offices if he did not like the candi-
dates handed him by the organization.
The bad feeling existing between Tam
many and Kings County was aired a few
days ago when John Fl. McCooey and
Charles F. Murphy broke on the selection
OF Senator James ]. Walker for minority
leader of the Senate. Back Of that lies
the bitter conflict between w. R Hearst
and Governor Smith, prompted by the re-
fusal of the Governor to name one Of Mr..
Hearsts candidates to a judicial position.
Mayor Hylan stands with Mr.. Hearst. Mr..
McCooey and Brooklyn stand with the
Mayor.
In Upstate Counties.
That is only one of the many Democratic
controversies. William Fitzpatrick and
Erie County are dispieased because the
Governor did not take their candidate for
Court Of Appeals at the time he insisted
upon appointing AbrahamsI. Elkus.
Joseph Murphy. leader of Troy. is dis
pleased because of the dismissal of a Troy
leader as Superintendent OF Buildings and
the appointment of one of Patrick E. Nc
Cabe's associate leaders to the position.
Mr.. McCabe leader OF the Albany organi-
zation, is the bitter and uncompromising
foe of Tammany and Charles f. Murphy.
Mr.. Murphy. of Troy. is friendly to Tam
many. That makes for trouble. Mr.. Nc
Cabe is now inclined to be friendly to the
Governor. More cause for trouble. Will
lam Kearney, of Albany, was named Mar
cotic Commissioner. That did not help to
make good feeling.
Westchester County Democrats are luke
warm toward the Governor because he
yielded to the demand of the reformers and
forced a change in administration at Sing
Sing. The prison, with all it's rich patron
age. is regarded by the laws of politics as
being the special property of the West
chester organization. The retirement of
Edward w. Brophy as warden, therefore.
was far more pleasing to Mihcael Walsh
and his organization.
w. III. Kelly and the Syracuse Democrats
say they have not had their rightful share
of patronage. and they feel much the same
toward the State administration as do the
Erie, Brooklyn, Westchester and other
straight. organiza ton leaders.
Pending the Socialist trial importa nj
legislation is almost at standstll. The
Assembly will do practically nothing un-
til the Socialists are off their hands. The
trial may last two or three weeks-possibly
longer. The result will be that the legis-
lative business will accumulate in the
meantime and then descend with rush.
The programme of the Republican lead
ers when they went to Albany two weeks
ago was to avoid trouble, keep away from
controversial subjects. put through tho
constructive, vote getting bills as quickly
as possible and adjourn early. That pro-
rrsmrne already has conc overheard.

know what value was attached TO the

they intended to 90 through Norwich,

they would get there if they were sue

Horwich to let off passengers allowed
him to act upon a plan which his sus-
