NEW YORK. July 18. (Special.) The Republican state convention - to named a Governor, Lieutenant-Governor and minor state officers wljl b held at Saratoga on September 27; Theodore Roosevelt will name the candidates and pass upon the platform. Leaders of all factions have agreed to this, and the probabilities are that the convention will be a highly harmoni ous affair. During the past few weeks Roosevelt has met Republicans of all kinds and conditions from Governor Hughes to Billy Barnes, of Albany. The list In cludes Buch men as Speaker James W. Wadsworth and State Chairman Tim othy U Woodruff, of the "machine"; Fred Grelner, of Buffalo, who Is an "anti-machine man"; Lloyd Griscom, president of the New York county com mittee, a -silk stocking leader; Seth Low, a "mugwump, and Congressman Bennet, the right-hand man of Abe Gruber, who is against everybody at all times and under all conditions. Visitors Represent All Factions. These men represent practically all factions. Every one of them privately believes that unless a miracle is per formed the next Governor of New York State will be a Democrat, and that a Democrat will take the place of United States Senator Chauncey M. Depew at Washington. And they rely ' upon Roosevelt to work that miracle. The machine men declare that Hughes Is "not practiced enough." Fol lowers of the Governor declare that the machine "is too durned practical." Victory can only be secured by find ing a man who meets the approval of both factions. Wadsworth, Woodruff and Barnes are the men who defeated the direct primary bill, after Roosevelt had de clared himself In favor of it. During their visits to Oyster Bay each took occasion to explain that they did not mean to slap Roosevelt, but that they could not resist the temptation to "swat" Hughes. It Is reported that Wadsworth went so far as to say that while he opposed direct primaries on principle, yet he was willing to accept any proposition that Roosevelt . might make at the coming state convention. All he asked was that the ex-President look at the matter from all sides, and then render a decision. Direct Primaries Starred. Unless Roosevelt alters his present views, direct primaries wil be starred in the coming convention. The plan which meets with his approval em bodies many of the features of the so called Cobb compromise bill. It provides for party divisions, a (state committee made up of members elected by direct vote in each assembly district, and an assembly district committee, consisting of one member from each election district Assemblymen, State Senators, Con gressmen and minor officials are to be nominated by direct vote. Each party committee has the right to nominate one man, others' who secure 5 per cent of the party vote to their petitions can make the race at the primaries. One suggestion under consideration provides for a supplementary primary. To secure a nomination, a candidate must receive 40 per cent of the total vote cast. If he fails the two highest men fight It out at a second contest. Objection has been raised to this on the ground of the expense, and it is a ques tion as to whether It will be adopted finally. Colonel Roosevelt is opposed to a pri mary nomination for state officers. Everybody admits that the ideal ticket is the one that represents all sections of the state-. In the average conven tion the Identity of the minor officials depends upon the home town of the nominee for Governor. A solid ticket of New York City men, for example, would be doomed to defeat. Direct primaries, with the lines drawn between the city and the country, would mean that the Republican ticket would be made up oft rural candidates, while the-clty men would dominate the selections of the Democrats. Hughes Had Close Call. Governor Hughes carried the state two years ago by a trifle over 59,000 votes. He polled a total of 804,651. but only 254.386 of that number came from the metropolitan district. His Demo cratic opponent. Chanler, received near ly as many votes in the city as he did up-state. Speaker Wadsworth laid particular stress upon this fact in his talk with Colonel Roosevelt, and the latter was much impressed with it. Wadsworth aid that New York is too big to have state-wide primaries, and that a test In 'small localities is all that can be at tempted now. But the speaker frankly expressed his opinion that the entire system is bad. and he is opposed to It. Btlll. If Roosevelt thinks it worth a trial. Wadsworth will not place any tumbling-blocks in his way. Timothy L-. Woodruff. In his talks with Roosevelt, expressed a willingness to retire as chairman of the State Com mittee. But he added that he "did not want to be pushed out." To which Roose velt is said to have replied that he did not favor unnecessary violence in any case. Roosevelt's AVord Final. The "booms' of a large number of candidates who are anxious to suc ceed Hughes have been submitted to Roosevelt for his Inspection. The lead ing candidate at present is William Loeb, Jr.. Collector of the Port. Loeb has not declared himself and his friends say that he does not care for the nomi nation, as he hopes to enter business life when his present term expires. "I am a comparatively poor man." Loeb is quoted as saying, "and I do not see how I can afford to spend 125,000 a year for two years when my salary will only be J10.000." Governor Hughes, during his recent visit to Oyster Bay, offered the names of the following men. any one of whom he said would make a satisfactory Gov ernor: State Comptroller . Clark Williams: William R. Wilcox, chairman of the Public Service Commission in the Met ropolitan District, and Jacob Gould Schurman, president of Cornell Univer sity. Of this trio, Schurman is regarded as - h - - . - , - X- - - - JOSEPH G. being "too cold." Wilcox is head of a department which is not regarded with favor by fie average citizen who is ill treated by the Subway or the Brooklyn Rapid Transit. Wilcox asserts, and per haps with reason, that he and his col leagues have done everything that could be done to conduce to the comfort of passengers. But the fact remains that Williams is the only one of the trio who is seriously considered. Bennett Gets Busy. Representative William S. Bennet is the only candidate for Governor who has gone to the expense of opening headquarters. Mr. Bennet Is a very active candidate, but his chances are far from bright. After his visit to Oyster Bay, the reporters asked Colonel Roosevelt if the Congressman had men tioned his candidacy. The ex-President thought deeply for a moment and then replied: "If he did, I have forgotten it." Which, to well-informed men, seems to mark a decided puncture In the Ben net boom. Ex-Mayor Seth Low Is "mentioned," but no bets are made that he will land. William A. Pendergast, who has made a success as Comptroller of New York City, is talked of in connection with higher honors. There are other booms afloat, but every political gas-bag de pends upon securing fuel from Oyster Bay. For the fact remains that Roosevelt will name the state ticket, and if he wins he will deservedly be hailed as a. successful leader. He will be entitled to it, too, be cause at the present time the Republi can party in New York State is in a most unhappy condition. And it re quires expert medical attention to put it in shape for the 'bitter fight that is certain to come this Fall. Roosevelt's friends, like the admir ers pf Jeffries at Reno, believe he is the man who can achieve victory. However, he certainly has his task cut out.

INTEGRITY IS FIRST Bristow Says It Comes Before Party Regularity. PLEDGES MUST BE KEPT Insurgent Senator Says Cannon Only Works for Re-election Indus trial Panic Predicted as Re sult of High Tariff. KANSAS CITY. July 18. "Kansas is not taking Mr. Cannon seriously," said senator Joseph L. Bristow, in a speech at the Auditorium Hall in Kansas City, Kan., tonight. "It is generally under stood that he is out here to support Congressional candidates who will in turn aid him In keeping his chair. So far I have heard of nothing he has said that will influence Kansas on public questions. "The speech he is making is composed of the same generalizations in regard to the protective tariff he has always made. The arguments he is making in favor of protection are those we all admit. "We object to the Republican party being used by the Cannon-Aldrich combi nation to promote the fortune of con cerns, not from the standpoint of pro tectionists, but from that of monopolists. Eight for Party Integrity. "He has made the contention that we are fighting party regularity and has cried out for co-operation. We are not fighting party regularity. We are fight ing for party integrity. If this is main tained, none need worry as to party reg ularity. We contend for the fulfillment of the declarations of our party plat form. We are fighting betrayers." Mr. Bristow at some length advo cated a tariff commission, "a genuine tariff commission," he said, "to ascer tain the difference between the cost of production here and abroad. As fast as uniform schedules were secured by this body," ha said, "duties should be fixed upon that basis without waiting for the completion of the whole plan." industrial Panic Coming. The maintenance of high tariff on some commodities, he said, threatened an in dustrial panic. In this connection he mentioned the woolen schedule, which, he said, no man in public life had had the hardihood to defend. It and the ad vances in the cotton schedule had led the manufacturers to over-capitalize en ormously, the owners seeking to float more stock because they believed the in creased duties on fabrics would enable them to reap larger profits from their mills. "But the enormous burden placed upon those enterprises," he said, "now would seem to be . more than they can bear. Many New England mills today are staggering under the load of excessive capitalization, and it is only a question of time until the collapse will come. When It does come an industrial panic will be precipitated that may shake the industrial stability of the Nation." MURDERER WILL RECOVER Man Who 'Killed Wife and Shot Sister-ln-Law Tries Suicide. LOS ANGELES, July 18.Closely watched by a policeman to prevent an other attempt at suicide, George C.

(Continued From First Page.1 that caucus and I will vote for the man tl9 caucus selects. I know of no crime I have committed that should bar me from entering a Republican caucus. "If you ask whether I want to be Speaker of the House longer than for eight years, I have been Speaker that long because my friends .thought that I could be most useful as a member of Congress In that position. But as long as God lets me live, the muckraking periodicals and the so-called independ ent or progressive Republicans shall not make me say that I will not be a candi date for Speaker any more than they shall make me say, if I am again elected' to Congress, that I will not vote when my name is called." At the meeting here tonight Speaker tannon showed no sign of weariness, despite the warmth of the tent in which1 he spoke. He confined his remarks largely to the tariff. After the meeting he went by motor to Topeka, 28 miles distant, where he will remain until to morrow morning. He will speak at Alma tomorrow forenoon, at Hering ton in the afternoon and at night will close his Kansas tour with a speech at Marlon. HEAT AGAIN BOTHERS CANNON With Customary Vigor, However, He Defends Tariff at Emporia. EMPORIA, Kan., July 18. Speaker Jo seph G. Cannon, before beginning a speech" here at 4 o'clock this afternoon. again suffered much discomfort from the heat. While Representative Miller was making an introductory speech, Mr. Can non rubbed his head and neck nervously. However, he showed no signs of collaps ing when Ills time- for speaking arrived and he began his speech on schedule time and proceeded with his accustomed vigor, He said in part: "I am asked whether a man should be independent in Congress. We've got Taft, a Republican Senate by the skin of our teeth, and part of the time a Re publican House. When we began it was said we had 46 majority. If 26 of that majority vote with one minority, that would give them a majority of one. If the Republican party is not to have full power and responsibility, it were better that the other great party have full power. "From the time the Dingley bill was passed until the Republican platform in 1908 declared for a revision of the tariff. I stood Bquarely against revision. "Why? Because I knew the tariff could not be revised without somebody's lying about it and without disturbing business. But I always bow, as long as I am a Republl can, to the. superior wisdom of the ma jority of the party. For that reason I supported revision when the Republican platform declared for it. Payne Bill Has Helped Business. "The Payne bill has been in operation since August 5. Two hundred thousand freight cars, then idle, are now busy. Under that law we I so arranged that more goods are admitted free than under any other law in our history. The aver age per cent on all importations for the last fiscal year was 20.8 per cent. (.The Wilson law dutv averaged 22 per cent. We cut the Iron schedule in two. The chemical schedule was cut 40 per cent. "Let's see who stands for the interests. The duties on lumber, leather, boots and shoes. Iron and steel are all lower un der the Payne law than under the Ding ley law. Every man who voted against the Payne bill thereby voted to retain the highest duties of the Dingley law." The Speaker closed his speech by re plying to Senator Bristow's recent charges concerning the tariff on rubber. During this portion of his speech Mr. Cannon read from a typewriten manu script as follows: "Senator Bristow, In his speech at Winfleld, charged that Senator Aldrich and others brought about an iricrease in the duty on manufactured rubber and thereupon organized a rubber trust. Sen ator Bristow said that under the opera tion of the Payne tariff law there was a decrease in the amount of manufactured rubber imported and therefore a loss In revenue. Bristow Figures Questioned. "'Either knowingly or ignorantly. Sen ator Bristow did not state the facts. The truth is, as shown by the official figures of the Bureau of Statistics for the nine months ending March 30, 1910, under tha Payne law there was an increase in the importation of rubber manufactures amounting to $356,332. For 'the same period the revenue derived from Imports of manufactured rubber Increased $126, 384. "The Senator further said that for the same period as indicated above there was an increase of more' than $40,000,000 in the amount of crude rubber imported. "I submit that the Senator intended his audience to understand that, notwith standing the Increase In importation of crude rubber, the Imports of manufac tured rubber decreased. The truth is, as I have shown from official figures, that the importations of manufactured rubber Increased under the Payne law, in spite of the 6 per cent higher duty. "Since May 30, 1909, there has been an increase in the price of crude rubDer amounting to 45 per cent, due to the In creased use of rubber In the everyday life of the people for automobile tires, elec trical purposes, etc But the price of crude rubber as given is that of the open markets ofv.the world and cannot be ascribed to tlie tariff, for rubber is on the free list. Protection for Labor Needed. "The figures I have given show that even the increased rate is not sufficient to prevent the large increase in importa tions of manufactured rubber made by foreign labor in competition with labor of America. Upon these misstatements, which Senator Bristow makes himself responsible for, he builds his charges against his brother Senator. So far, the statement is Mr. Bristow's. "Then he proceeds to put into Quota tion marks what his authority is God only knows that Senator Aldrich and others organized a rubber trust. I do not know whether Senator Aldrich and others organized a trust. Being unin formed. I neither deny nor affirm, but if Senator Aldrich did organize a trust, then, under the Sherman an ti- trust act. Ir.
