GLYNN SOUNDS KEYNOTE xi-Govcrnor Tteplies to Ttoofs Re publican Speecli With Defense of President Platform Voices Demand for Peace. PTRACUSE. X. T., March 1.-With a keynote speech and platform. Demo crats of Is'ew York state, in informal convention tonight, ratified the admin istration of President "Wilson. The fol lowing delegates-at-large to the Na tional Democratic Convention at St. ljouis were recommended for the sup port of the party voters at the Spring primaries: ' I'nited States Senator O'Gorman. William Church Osborn, chairman of the Democratic state committee; George J. Meyer, of Buffalo, a Ge man-American supporter of the Pres ident, and Samuel Untermyer, a New York attorney. The convention also adopted a reso lution recommending the re-election of Norman K. Alack, of Buffalo, as Dem ocratic national committeeman. The delegates to the national con vention, who comprise New York's "big four." were unpledged, but were nom inated with the understanding that they lire to work for a second term for Mr. AVilson. Glynn Defends AVilson Policies. The keynote speech. delivered by ex-Governor Glynn, as permanent chairman, aroused much enthusiasm. In addition to commending the actions of Mr. "Wilson during his administra tion, it replied directly to the criti cisms of the President and his for eign policies, made by ex-Senator Root at the recent Republican state conven tion in New York. The platform expressed the faith of New York's Democracy in the Presi dent, and urged his" renominatlon and re-election. It dealt solely with Na tional issues. A futile attempt was made by advocates of woman suffrage to insert in the platform a plank pledg ing the party to support the move ment. After reviewing the legislation en acted during the Democratic control or Congress, Mr. Glynn in his speech re Tiiied to Mr. Root's reference to the Federal reserve act. He charged, that Mr. Root as Senator opposed the measure. Financial Xefflxlatlon Praised. 'This law," continued Mr. Glynn. "Is one of the greatest achievements of the Administration in the last 60 years. There never has been a liner exhibi tion of foresiprht and statesmanship than that exhibited by the President in Insisting on the passage of the Federal reserve act. Subsequent events showed the President wasprompted by won drous economic insight. The Republi can party has had possession of the Government since 18G1. with the excep tion of Mr. Cleveland's two terms. During all that time the necessity for Jinancial legislation never was so great nor so imperative. The Republican jarty stands convicted of absolute im potence and incompetence because it failed utterly to meet the situation." The Legislative act. Mr. Glynn said, saved the country from a panic when the liuropean war broke out. "Mr. Root," he declared, "was a part of Mr. Roosevelt's administration in 1907, and shares with Mr. Roosevelt and the leaders of the Republican party the responsibility for the wholly un necessary and calamitous happenings of the panic of 1907." The Underwood tariff law has "stim ulated American industry," the ex-Governor declared, and he blamed the for eign war for the decline in imports. TCoot Declared Peace Advocate. Denying that Mr. Root was "the keeper of National honor," Mr. Glynn added: "For years Mr. Root has been tin star performer at peace confer ences and yet he condemns President AVilson for maintaining peace." "For years," continued the speaker, "Mr. Root has been acclaimed an apos tle of peace and in 1912 the Nobel prize for the promotion of peace was awarded to him. but now he sallies forth as a drum-and-trumpet states man. From a cooing dove of peace, Mr. Root suddenly transforms himself. Into a swooping hawk, of war. "Years ago enthusiasts in Bohemia took the skin of John Ziska, the patriot, and stretched it as a drum head to rouse the followers to war. So, today, Elihu Root would stretch the skin of the victims of the Lusitanla, the skins of the victims of the Belgian invasion, into a drumhead to man. th kindlv sentiment of svmnathv intn thai cruel frenzy of war." With reference to preparedness the platform says that, although Ameri cans "desire peace above all things, but not peace at any price," the peo ple of this country should enforce upon their representatives the neces sity of maintaining ample prepared ness for "sustaining the honor of the Government; for the protection of our titize.ns; and for the creation and maintenance of an Army and Navy amply adequate for these purposes and commensurate with the wealth and Cieatness of our people." "Peace "With Air Demanded. Under the heading "America first" the platform says: "Peace with all; entangling alli ances with none. "We denounce the insidious efforts of those who pretend, after 15 months of silence, to find in treaty arrange ments and international conventions for peaceful arbitration ground for di rect interference with the affairs of European nations by this country." Commenting on the Mexican situ ation, the platform recites that the Wilson policy has resulted in the bringing about of a "United 'under standing and friendly feeling between the great governments of South Amer ica and our own, which will not only further and extend commercial inter course between the "United States and South America, but also will unite eight governments with ours in up holding the Monroe Doctrine and not leave to the United States alone the upholding of it in the future." To the Democratic National policies concerning banking and the tariff, the platform attributes the present era of good will throughout the country. MAIL ROUTE CHANGE ASKED Coos lJay May Be Supplied by Way of Willamette Pacific Line. EUGENE. Or.. March 1. (Special.) An effort is being made to change the routing for the Coos Bay mail from the old Roseburg stage route to the "Wil lamette Pacific railroad as soon as train service is inaugurated, probably in April, according to the inmost recent announcements. Postmaster E. D. Campbell, of Eu gene, says that the change will result in a great saving to the postal depart ment as it will eliminate star routes between Eugene and Gardiner, Drain and Gardiner and Roseburg and Marsh-field.

They say he intends to have the Ques tion removed once and for all from the field of possibilities and point out that the extent of the opposition! which the President faces may be judged from the fact that the chairman of the for eign affairs committees in both branches of Congress and even Speaker Clark were, to say the least, lukewarm in their support of him.

CLEETON, County Judge of Multnomah County, announced his candidacy for re-election yes terday, subject to the Republican pri mary. lie has been County Judge since 1910, when he was appointed to the office to succeed L. lw Webster, who hud resigned. In 1912 he was re-elected for a six-year term without opposi tion. The 3 913 Legislature abolished the office of County Judge and ele vated Judge Cleeton to the Circuit Court. This act later being declared unconstitutional, he automatically be came County Judge again. Judge Cleeton has been a resident of Oregon since 1 S91. He worked in a sawmill, for a time and later became County School Superintendent of Co lumbia County. He was admitted to the bar and also elected to the Legis lature in 3895. He served from 1896 to 1900 as Prosecuting Attorney of the JVifth Judicial District. He re moved to Portland in 1900. In his formal statement of candi dacy Judge Cleeton says: "When I was a candidate for elec tion to the office of County Judge six years ago I promised the people that if elected I would give them the best service of which I was capable; that I would devote my entire time and at tention to the duties of the ofice; treat the public courteously, dispose of all business promptly and give everyone who had business in my court a square deal, without regard to race, color, party, creed or influence. This I have done as far as in me lay. "The people of Multnomah County have been uniformly kind and courte ous to me, and have made my work very pleasant. "I like the work and believe I can continue to rcndfcr them useful and important service. I, therefore, wish to succeed myself in the office of County Judge for another term, and I hereby announce myself as a candidate for the office of County Judge for a second term, subject to the Republi can primaries in May, and the will of the people. "Iater on I shall give the people a brief account of what I have done dur ing the previous term." Only a few candidates have come out as yet for the Republican nomination for the lower House of the Legislature from Multnomah .County, although there are 12 places to he filled. Roderick L.

He is 41 years old, pres ident of the Macleay Estate Company, which has extensive interests in Mult nomah County and elsewhere through the state, and a director of the United States National Bank. His ballot slogan will he: "I favor the Industrial and business development of the whole state." Mr. Macleay is running for the Leg islature in the belief that there ought to be a larger proportion of business men in the Multnomah County delega tion than has been the case In the past.

Announcing that he stands upon his past record as State Dairy and Food Commissioner, John D.

A greater dairy industry and enforcement of food laws." Arthur C. Spencer, of Portland, today filed his declaration of candidacy fur election as a delegate to the National Republican convention. "I am opposed to time-lock conven tion methods," lie says in his statement, "and will faithfully support the peo ple's nominees." Two aspirants for membership in the lower house of the Legislature filed their declarations today for the Re publican nomination in their respective districts. Jn the Twenty-ninth District, comprising Hood River and Wasco counties, J. T.

Frank S. Grant, of Portland, has filed declaration of his candidacy for the Re publican nomination for Circuit .Tuds Department Xo. 5. Multnomah County. "I will conscientiously endeavor to hear all cases patiently, weigh the evi dence deliberately and dispassionately, and decide impartially," declares Mr. Grant. Candidates for District Attorney who filed their declarations today are: H. H. DeArmond, of Bend ( Republican ), Crook County: O. W. Eastham. of Ore gon City (Republican). Clackamas County, and O. C. Gibbs, of Lakeview , (Democrat), Lake gounty, the question out of Congress altogether. Tonight when the White House was seeking some of the leaders, notably Chairman Flood, they were not to be found at their places of residence or at their usual places of assembly. The possibility that the effort to sup press a vote may succeed is not being overlooked by the President's friends. aitnough tney are confident his course will prevail. They say, however, that if the opposition in Congress should avoid the issue, the President would not hesitate to take his case to the country. President Sure of Senate. So far as the Senate is concerned the Administration ha no doubts. Even the proponents of armed-ship resolu tions admit that a majority on that side of the Capitol stands ready to sup port the President. No effort to bring about a vote was made today, however. and it was indicated that action by the House probably would be awaited- Alter many Informal conferences upon the return of the leaders from the White House, the House foreign affairs committee held, a two-hour ses- lon late in the afternoon and ad journed until 10:30 tomorrow without taking any action. Mr. Flood made no announcement, but one of the commit teemen said later that the chairman in tended to ask the President to receive the full committee at the White House tomorrow. It was apparent during the committee meeting that the controlling element strongly desired to prevent the reporting of any resolution. Chairman Flood went to the meeting with at least three resolutions bearing on the subject, but he offered none of them. All of the members except two Demo crats were present, and discussion was indulged in freely by Democrats and Republicans alike. Some members said they thought they should have more detailed information regarding the in ternational situation than bad been given them. They said they wanted a clearer exposition of the President's position, ail information that Secretary Lansing could give them, and whatever documents the executive department had at hand bearing on, the submarine controversy. While the leaders who conferred with President Wilson reported that the President did not ask for an offi cial indorsement of his course, but ex-' pressly declared that he wished a straigh't vote on a warning resolution, the growing tendency throughout the day seemed to be to do almost any thing else but comply strictly with his request. The most persistent sug gestion, which had the unqualified ap proval of most of those who urged the original warning legislation, was for a resolution combining an expres sion of faith In the President with a warning to Americans not to endan ger the Government by remaining off armed belligerent ships pending a set tlement of the submarine contro versy. 1'ropoxal Widely Circulated. One of these proposals was widel circulated and had the indorsement of Senator Gore and Representative Shackleford. leaders in the agitation in the two houses. Staunch champions of the President's course asserted that such a resolution would so confuse the issue s to be wholly unsatisfactory to the Adminis tration; that it would in one breath indorse the President's policy and in the next say that his course was not altogether to the liking of Congress. During the day a suggestion was considered by Senate and House lead ers that a resolution be adopted creat ing a joint committee of the House and Senate to confer officially with the President on the Issue. Speaker Clark was one of those who made this sug gestion in a conference with several Representatives and Senators. A. meeting of the rules committee will be held tomorrow, but no rule will be reported immediately unless the for eign affairs committee has by that time made somo recommendation. Of course, if the foreign affairs commit tee should decline to report a resolu tion, it is possible that the rules com mittee then would exercise ita pre rogative of incorporating a resolution in a rule and getting it before the House. 1 'on Supports IreMldent. Representative Pou," who left his sick bed to go to - the White House, declared his support of the President tonight in the following statement: "Of course I am standing with the President in this crisis. He is simply demanding that Americans bo warned and afforded some slight opportunity of escape before they are murdered. Women, children and non-combatants are at least entitled to that much con sideration. It has been the law of nations for a thousand years. I am with the President, and am proud of his Americanism." The Senate recessed tonight in order to shut off all business tomorrow ex cept debate on the water-power bill, but there will be no delay in dispos ing of the issue there once the House has acted. "I want this issue disposed of in the Senate as weil as in the House, and that it be dona as soon as possible." said Senator Stone. "1. for one, am ready to vote my convictions, and 1 I think every Senator is. We are dis posed right now to see what the House does before any action is taken here."
