CREWS OF SLOOPS SHOW STRAIN OF LONG DRAWN OUT

niternates. II requires 552 votes ~
nominate.
There Is harmony in this conven-
,tion with a big "Y." The opposition
wants 70 know why" a whole lot OF
things have been done. The hackers
OF Secretary Of State Francis M.
Hugo want to know why their candi-
date was brushed off the board with
but 30 much as a look In. Senator
George r. Thampson wants to know
why the nominees are going 10 be
designated. and the Senator is one
OF those who is going to be heard
before the convention and before the
primaries.
But for the purposes Of the unof-
1icial convention the work is prac-
Ideally laid out, and II is estimated
rhhat ~ will be all finished by Thurs
day at the latest Other things agreed
upon were the designations of all Of
ficers but the nominees for Comp
troiler and Secretary Of State. II was
agreed that Col. Theodore Roosevelt
would be designated for Lieutenant
Governor. but--the only disagreeable
factor about this agreement was that
Col Roosevelt wouldn't agree 70 Il,
Notwithstanding that Il was urged
that his name would largely offset
the influence Of that OF Franklin u.
Roosevelt on the Democratic national
ticket. But the son OF his father de-
z clared that he had n candidate for
Secretary of State in the person OF
Jeremiah Ward of Nassau County.
u was finally agreed that Sem
ator Thomas Walton Of Ulster
County should be designated for
the second place on the ticket.
II was agreed 70 designate At
torney General Charles D. New
ton 20 succeed himself, and that
Frank NJ. Williams shall be dssia-
mated 70 succeed himself as State
Engineer.
The Committee on Resolutions will
have a busy session. The represent
atives OF labor are here with a plank,
and last night William II. Anderson.
superintendent Of the Antl-SaIoon
/, League, put in an appearance TO
worry the delegates and leaders with
another dry plank.
There doesn't seem TO be much
Of q chance for a dry plank, and
the Anti Saloon forces will prob
ably be content u they can keep
out a wet plank.
The platform will contain q
usneraI Endorsement Of the ma
tional policy Of the Republican
Party, and, as now outlined, will
carry no reference to Prohibition
or the League Of Nations.
Permanent relief TO the school
teachers will be pledged, and a guar
antee promised for the integrity OF
abe emergency Housing relief bills
passed by the last Legislature.
Real Estate interests OF New York
are here in opposition to these, and
landlords representatives are seek
ing a pledge for "a modification OF
some, II not all, the Anti-Re Gougl
ing Laws. But Senator Charles c. |
= Lockwood is giving his personal at
tention to that particular plank OF
the platform and is fighting all at
fempts TO weaken or abolish the new
laws. In fact, he will undou btedly
seek to remedy the defects in some
OF the laws and make them stronger
in the event of Gov. Smith calling a
special session.
United States Senator James w.
.. .Wadsworth Is slated TO be designated
as the nominee TO succeed himself.
The Senator declared to the confer
ence that he was in favor OF the con-
.
was for Judge Miller for Governor. |
But he added that in view of the op- |
Z position OF the Anti-Saloon League |
TO him, and the threatened opposition !
OF an influential group OF Republi-
can women because OF his stand on
Woman Suffrage, he thought IL might
be disadvantageous TO the ticket II
he were designated.
Another disgusting report was
that Senator William M. Calder
had entered into combination
with Secretary Of State Hugo to
put an entire insurgent ticket
into the primary contest.
Saratoga Springs has not witnessed
abe gathering of Republican conven-
ton like this in many years. The
hotels are jammed and are unequal
10 the burden heaped upon them.
The cottages are packed to capacity
and cots have been pressed into pri-
vate rooms while prices know no
limit but the sky. II Is a privilege
20 be put up for the night, and stand
ing room only Is the order in all the
dining rooms.
