so certain are the leaders of the
state committee that their program will!
De carried through without hitch that
they are tonight considering who shall
be on the platform committee which
the convention will name. State Chair

Opposed to Welfare Plank
The progressives in the party, who
have been fighting to have welfare

far there has been no opposition to
the candidacy of Senator Charles w
Walton, of Kingston, for the nomina-

from the Hudson River counties, and
has delegates in almost every part of
the state.
Newton to Have Clear Field
1t is practically agreed that there
will be no opposition, either in the con-
ventlon or at the primaries against
Attorney General Charles D. Newton
or Frank NJ. Williams, State Engineer
and Surveyor, who are candidates to
succeed themselves. Senator N. Monroe
Marshall, of Malone, who is candidate
for State Treasurer, is opposed by
Assemblyman j. Donohue, of Putnam
Brooklyn has two candidates fo1
State mptroller-Senators Charles D

For Secretary of State there are up

this is one of the matters which vii
be ironed out before the convention
meets on Tuesday morning
Chairman Glynn said tonight that
if every candidate now in the field is
nominated and seconded, the conven-
ton will last at least three days.
