MURPHY PICKS GERARD | FOR U, S, SENATOR Tammany’s Finger Directs Deme- cratic Piatform: Conferencs. Saratoga, Aug. 27.—Tammany kept pretty well in the background at the democratic state-wide conference ! that ended last night after three | formal sessions yesterday. However, | Charles F. Murphy was able to take some of the starch out of the plank | on executive reform through the pro- test of Representative John J. Fitz- | gerald, of Kings county, in open ses- | sion. Now Murphy will go back to New York and determine on the slate for | state offices he wishes his followers to support. The tip la night was that he has decided on Ambassador James | W. Gerara for United States senator. {1t has been impossible to get any It.is better to buy roofing from a big concern that can back up its goods when called upon than to buy from the little fellow who'may not make good when his roofing falls down.

Although many of his best | friends acknowledge that Governor Glynn will be a weak candidate for re-election, the organization is in no position to turn him down. Slate Can Wait. As for the remainder of the slate, it can wait. No hindrance will be placed on anybody getting into the race for the nominations. Care will be taken, however, to see that the organization choice files his petition, and the tip will be passed around on the organization slate. William F. McCombs, chairman of the national committee, and Wil- liam M, Osborn, chairman of the state committee, both expressed themselves as highly pleased with the conference, which, like the republican convention, confined itself to the adoption of a platform and the selec- tion of a ticket of candidates for the fifteen places as delegates-at-large to the constitutional convention. PUBLIC CONFIDENCE As Seen by the General Public confidence is the great- est asset that any house of business can possess. It is more to be desired 'than the ability to make money. There are degrees of public confidence. It may be zero, a minus quantity, or a plus quan- tity. At zero no confidence ex- ists—nobedy is for or agalnst such a héuse. But this condi- tion can exist only where the house or its goods are unknown, and as soon as the public has given the house a trial it will pass judgment, and public con- dence will then be expressed by a plus or minus sign, accord- ing to the approval or disap- proval of the public as to the 00ds and policies of the house. £ the goods are not as repre- sented, or if the policies are not in accordance with the ethics of good business, public confidence will drop to a minus quantity i word from Mr. Gerard in Berlin, %t { WILL BE ONE OF THE A FEATURES AT THE MANUFACTURING OF Keeney’s Theatre DON'T MISS IT These Popular Cars Are Sold By The Hine, Morrin & Zimmerman Co., Inc \ ord Cars in Moving Pictures PICTURES WILL BE SHOWN TWIGE DAILY AUGUST 27, 28, 29 Every FORD owner and th ¢ automobi'e public in general should avail themselves of the opportunity of seeing the construction from start to finish of the famous FORD CAR, which is manufactured by the largest automobile manufacturers in the world and which will demonstrate how 1,100 FORD CARS ARE MANUFACTURED IN ONE DAY. 200 East Main St. although they had asked for an out- and-out indorsement. Although the platform commitee had expected some opposition from Murphy and Tammany to an outright eulogy of President Wilson and his policies in the platform, the ‘“boss” decided before he came up that it would be impossible to conduct & campaign except on the record of Wilson. So Wagner in the commit- tee was as strong as any of the others for the Wilson plank. When it was ‘Wants Politics in Open. One of the features of the confer- higher and_more satisfactory ence was a red-hot speech by Mr. et Ecadecaratastie McCombs, in which, although not by A policies o the house are right, the people |name, he rapped John A.

Change Short Ballot Plank. In the ‘‘executive reform,” or short ballot plank, Tammany was able to put in the comptroller and attorney general as elective officers, in addition to the governor and lieutenant gover- nor, the only ones suggested by the sub-committee. Tammany also knocked out the power of appointment by the governor without the consent of the senate. Tt left in, however, his power of removal without ence from the senate. This clause appeared in the plank: “The number of elective offices should be reduced.” The platform declared for a cessa- tion of legislation in Washington, in the following language: “The period of industrial growth through which we have passed has imperatively demanded legislation in the interest of the whole public and cCesigned to secure justice. But we Lelieve that hereafter the least inter- ference by the government with in- dustry and business, consistent with theser demands, will insure business prosperity and promote industrial progress.” Lauded to Skies, Although the administration Governor Glynn was lauded to interfer- of the skies, care was taken not to refer in | any way to the Sulzer period. “Are you satisfled with this sort of conference as-a substitute for the | j werp says the French, British and ! of foreign affairs to express their in- old-style convention?” Mr. Murphy was asked after it was all over. “Conventions are things of the past. Why should I talk about them?” h replied with a grin. “Are you going to have any confer- ences with the up-state leaders to talk over candidates?” was another ques- tion. ¢ “Why ask me anything so foolish?" he countered. “You heard all that talk about the spirit of the direct primary law in there, didn’t you?” el i EXPRESS INDIGNATION.

He admitted the car swayed but sald he was in a rut and was trying to get out. Mrs. Hyman Horwitz, mother of the accused, testified that the machine was not being driven recklessly. Dr. Horwitz cross examined Officer Johnson regarding how fast he was traveling while crossing Main street. Dr. Horwitz was fined $20 and a i bond of $100 fixed in case of an ap- | peal. Judge Meskill compared the two cases and said while Revett endan- gered the lives of the public, Dr. Hor- witz endangered only his own and others in the machine.

If his machine was in New Britain last Tuesday it was without his knowledge.

He was working on Tuesday, | he sald, and produced a certificate showing that to be so. He admitted that his number is C 563, the number of the machine that ran down Craw- ford. “I am frank to say opinion there is some Prosecutor Klett.
