mates Of the candidate for Governor.

Host Of Candidates
The candidates for the minor places
on the ticket are legion. For Lieu
tenant Governor, Mayor J. II. Walrath
of Syracuse is being vigorously doomed.
So too, is former Lieutenant Governor
Harry C. Walker, of Binghamton;
Commissioner of Correction Bird s.
Coler, Health Commissioner Royal S.
Copeland of New York and Captain
George X. Shuler, of Lyons. Shuler is
a captain in the Marine Corps and
stationed at Washington.
For Comptroller there are half a
dozen aspirants, the most talked of be-
ing Senator Salvatore A. Cotillo, Of
New York City, and James c. Doyle, of
Syracuse.
For Attorney General there are a
bakers dozen. the most prominent be-
ing Frank Irvine, of Ithaca; Edward
Murphy. of Troy; Frank II. Mott. Of
Chemung, and Charles Norris, Of Car
thage.
For Secretary of State there are
four women canddates--Mrs Franklin
D. Roosevelt, Of Hyde Park; Mrs
Daniel O'Day, of Rye; Miss Marion
Dickerman, of Oswego, and Miss Har-
riett May Mills, of this city.
In addition, there are several men
seeking the place, including Harry c.
Perry, Tammany leader of the I'd As
sembly District, and Minority Leader
Charles D. Donohue of the Assembly.
The place of State Engineer and Sur
veyor seems likely TO go to one Of
two men Dwight c. Ladu. of Albany,
or Harry d. Brewster, Of this city.
For United States Senator, in addi-
ton to Lunn and Pell, others being
discussed are ex-Congressnan John j.
Fitzgerald, of Kings; Ex-Governor
Martin H. Glynn. of Albany; ex-Lieu-
tenant Governor Thomas F. Conway, of
PlattsburG, and Congressman Peter
Ten Eyck, of Albany While the women
are making a strenuous drive for two
places on the ticket, unless Murphy
changes his mind they will have no
representation. Murphy, who was a
vigorous opponent OF woman suffrage,
| is said to be dead set against woman
on the ticket.
Beer Plank Consider
Hearst emissaries, it became known
tonight, have made several appeals to
Murphy not to have any light wine and
I beer plank in the platform. The
Hearst agents told Murphy that the
opposition of their chief to any at
tempt to modify the Volstead act was
based on the campaigns the Hearst
papers made for light wines and beers
in Illinois and California, where the
people repudiated the drive. After
stopped their crusade. Hearst, his
agents held, did not mold this defeat
as personal defeat, but a defeat of
the cause he espoused. Hearst asks
for silence on the wet and dry issue.
There is a strong demand among the
Tammany delegates for light wine
and beer plank. This, too, is the sent;-
ment Of delegates from some of the
upstate industrial centers, while there
are other up-country delegates who
want the present bootlegging condi-
| tions denounced in unmeasured terms.
Another stumbling block the plat
is what to say on the city transit sit
uation. Many Of the New York City
delegates are for letting this subject
rest, holding that it is charged with
dynamite, while Mayor Hylan and the
rest of the Hearst contingent are de
manding that Governor Miller and his
administration be condemned without
! stint for enacting the transit legisla-
/ ton. If Hearst is turned down for the
nomination it is the belief that in
order to placate him all his platform
requests will be carefully considered
