Governor Woodrow Wilson will be confronted with this situation In New York when he returns from his western trip. Aantl-Tammany men from up-state, who Insist that Tammany control of the state convention will defeat the national ticket In tho coming election, iso far as Now York Is concerned, I probably will demand that tho iJemo jcrallc presidential nominee Interfere :to secure an open convention at Syru ,cuso next month. It was declared that they Intended tolling the pover- nor that if he did not declare 'or a complete progressive ticket they will put a ticket of their own In the field. Acting National Chairman Wra. G. McAdoo lias already canvassed the sit uation, It was said. He was satisfied that Charles F. Murphy, with control of the New York City delegation, and friends from other localities, would be able to nominate any one he pleases Certain anti-Tammany workors, head ed by Thomas M. Osborn, Jacob H. Teneylck and others, were reported today to be preparing to appeal to Governor Wilson, as the national lead er, to say just who will be nominated. It was reported that McAdoo has al ready been In communication with Murphy regarding his Intentions, through John B. Stnnchfleld. ; The action of the national commit tee In Interfering In the New Jersey senatorial situation, and forcing the withdrawal of John Wescott, of Canv den, leaving former Congressman Hughes as the single progressive can didate for United States senator, was cited by knowing politicians today as 'evidence that the national committee would see that only a progressive was ; nominated for governor of New York. "RAIIY MINK" WAS A SERIES OF LAUGHS "Baby Mine," at the Grand Satur day night, was, If not a howling, at least a laughing success, and It played to a good house It Is a play made up of an Impossible series of happenings, but they are laugh-compelling. The company Is a strong one, and the story was well told and ably present ed. The large attendance and hearty applause, Illustrates the fact that theatre-goers now-a-days want amuse ment. They want to laugh and forget for the time being anything else ex cept the fact that It Is their time to laugh. They want to rorget the an noyances or the day, and thoy want a play that will help them do It. "The Awakeneing or Helena Hichle" was a good play, and well played, but the at tendance was small, because people have sadness and trouble and worry enough without having other troubles presented on the stage. JUDGE GROSHCUP INDORSES ROOSEVELT CNITED 1MIKHS tASP.D WII1K.1 Chicago, Sept. 23. Former United States Judge Peter 8.

"When I left the bench," Grosscup announces, "I said that the coming campaign would be the last fought along old lines. Instead It IB the first to be fought on new lines.

Candidates on Repubican Tick et Refused tb Be Forced to Express Themselves as to Presidential Preferences. THEY AMEND RESOLUTIONS Cundldntos Will Work Together for (ho Success of tho Entire Ticket, Hut Refuse to Re Forced to Make Any Expression of Presidential Preference Discussion Gets Lively Over Proposed Machine Rule Can didates Win Their Contention. With tho county central committee of tho Republican pnrty of Marlon county passing tsi.t of resolutions and the candidates repudiating one of them by another set, Is tho outcome of a meeting of the committee and candidates Saturday afternoon at the court house. The point of contention between the candidates and tho com mittee arose over one clause In a set of resolutions passed by the committee In which the committee holds that each candidate should bo called upon to declare hlniBclf as to whether he will support tho candidacy of Presi dent Taft for re-election. Nearly all of the candidates were present and took some hand in the proceedings, George W. Weeks, candidate for ropre sentatlvo, being quite pronounced in his objection to such, a requirement, holding that it was clearly In violation of the corrupt practice act nnd he did not consider It fair for tho committee to require the candidates to violate the law In order to satisfy Its desire In tills direction. Geo. W. Johnson, an other candidate for 'representative, said, "I have talked with many of the candidates and believe that there la not one who wants that resolution passed. I have never done anything that would make people think that I am not, a loyal Republican, but I will not alienate votes by making a Btate mcnt about whom I am going to sup port for president. It Is only a high handed way of forcing an admission out of the candidates with tho Inten lion of forcing support of the presi dent." Wax H. Gehlhar, cundldate for c.oun ly clerk, pointed out the provisions of Section 3504, which reads as follows "No person shall, In order t0 aid or promote his nomination or election, directly or Indirectly, himself or through any other person, promise to appoint another persons, or promise to EC-cure aid in securing tho appoint ment, nomination or election of an other person to any public or private ixmltlon or employment, or to any po sition or honor, trust or emolument, except that ho may publicly announce or define what Is his choice or pur pose In relation to any election In which he may lie culled to take part If f leeted, and If he Is a cnndldato ror nomination or election as a member of the legislative assembly he may pledge himself to vote for the people's choice for United States senator or state what his action will be on such vote." During the discussions over this t.olnt, which became quite acrimonious at times, A. N. Moores, who favored the resolution calling for pledges from the candidates as to whom they would vote for for president, HHkcd Mr. Weeks, "Where do you stnnd, I pre sume that you are for Taft?" To which WeekB made reply as follows: I have said that I Blgned Taft'B petition and that I am a Republican, Isn't that enough?" "The candidate should (Continued on page Or.)
