NEW, BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY, 16, 1916. NEW YORK G. 0. P. _ENDORSE WHITMAN But Attack Action to Separate | Plank Dealing With State Issues New York, Feb. t on resolutions s e convention 16.—The commit- »f the republican decided by unani- mous vote today to endorse the ad- ministration of Governor Whitman, but to attach the endoiiement to a separate plank dealing with state issues. This was regarded tgry for the forces led Barres, inasmuch as it cffarts of the V’hitman element in the committee have the endorse- raent of the goernor attached to that part of the p'atform dealing with na- tional issues as a partial vie- by William defeated the Two Separate Kesolutions. The co-imittee decided to submit to the cor—ention two separate resolu- tions, one dealing with ional issues exclusive the other with state ues. Meantime the committee on dele- sates was also split over the question as to whether William Berri, of Brooklyn, or David Jayne Hill, the latter a Whitman man, should be one of the four delegates at large. The committee on delegates at large reported at 1:30 o’clock that it had agreed upon the following names as the “big four” for the republican national convention: United States séhator James W. Wadsworth, Gov- ernor Charles S. Whitman, Frederick C. Tanner, chairman of the republi- can state committee, and State Sena- tor Elon R. Brown. These names were to be submitted to the conven- tion today. The committee received a delega- tioA of women representing the Con- sressional Union for Woman Suffrage who asked the committee to recom- mend in the platform a woman suffrage plank. No action, however, was taken in the matter, Root Resolution Defeated. It became known while the com- inittee on resolutions was in session that endorsement of former Senator Elihu Root for the presidency was proposed and that it became the sub- ject of long argument. Mr. Root's name was proposed by John A. Sleicher and Henry L. Stim- son supported Sleicher’s motion in a vigorous plea in which he argued that Mr. Root was the, logical candi- date. The matter was the subject of debate for more than half an hour, after which a vote was taken and the oposal defeated. Dr. Butler’s Statement. Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, chair- man of the committee, issued a state- ment, after its adjournment at about 32:30 ©o’'clock, on the subject of Mr. Root's proposed endorsement. “There was discussion,” he said, “as to #he wisdom of recommending Mr. Root to the republicans of the coun- try as the most fit candidate for presi- dent. There was complete agreement as to Mr. Root's pre-eminent fitness, but in view of the difference of opinion as to the wisdom of passing any resolutions whatsoever on the subject of presidential candidacy and ein Mr, Root himself requested that no such action be taken, no action to “The | Islands by seizure of the Philippine ome foreign power.” Permanent Tariff Policy. A permanent tariff policy for the ‘“‘protection” of American labor ana for the “conservation and develop- ment” of American resources and in- dustry, is demanded, and ‘clarity” i should be given to legislation affect- ing ceomhinations and monopoly. A itrong American merchant ma- ris, development of farm credits, and s0 as to avoid possibility of inflation | of currency are advocated. In a separate resolution the plat- form ‘“‘commends Governor Whitman, the legislature and the entire republi- can administration” of the state. The platform endorses the move- ment looking towards settlement of international disputes without resort to force, asserts the right of the American government to oppose Vio- lations of international agreements to which it is a party, and advocates complete preparedness for the com- mon defense—economic, industrial and financial as well as military. Provision should also be made for | effective training of a citizen soldiery | under sole authority of the national government, it says. The platform was unanimously adopted. WANTS REVOLVER EXPERTS. Mayor Quigley Offers Cup in City Po- lice Contest. With the aim of carrying out one of his schemes to make the police depart- ment more efficient, Mayor G. A. Quig- ley has offered a handsome loving cup as a prize for expertness with the re- volver. While the details have been perfected the mayor's plans invite teams not is to representing Hartford and Bridgeport, where they have volver ranges, to participate in competitive shooting, the cup to awarded to the team having the best record in a number of matches. One plan is to have shoots by the departments on their own ranges, hav- ing a scorer from the neighboring city. The shoots would be held on the same day and the results would be tele- phoned to the department against which the shoot was held and vice ver- sa. Some of the officers favor this plan and others favor shoots that would take place on various ranges, the same as regular rifle matches . re- the be City ltems This week's rehearsal of the Cath- olic Choral Union will be held at K. of C. hall, 434 Main street, to- morrow night at 30 o’clock. 49c.

The convention was called to order at 12:45 p. m. United States Senator James W. Wadsworth, Jr., was unani- mously elected permanent chairman. He then addressed the convention. His declaration that the nation must prepare industrially for peace and thatsthe only thing that will save it from utter destruction commercially is a protective tariff, caused an out- burst of applause. Senator Wadsworth touched briefly upon the Democratic policies toward he Mexican and Philippine questions, ficclaring that, “rightly or wrongly,” the, people of other nations rega rd Americans today “as lacking in de- termination, lacking in virility, strink from those responsibilities and bligations which must come to every sreat nation.” Reads Tentative Platform. Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, chair- an of the committee on resolution: 'was then introduced and read the ten- tative platform adopted by his com- nittee. it pledges “The support of a pa- riotic and forward-facing American- sm,” to enlargement of national, naval and military establishments “for purposes of defense alone,” and as- serts that the resources already at the command of the government, coupled with a revision of the tariff in accord- ance with republican principles and with national economy, will furnish sulficient funds for measures of da2- rense. The platform says that while Amer- ica must not interfere in internationi controversies:it must insist upon the bservance of international law. American rights in Mexico should be rotected either by a responsible Mex |cal¥ government or through co-opera- tion with other American republics, it declares, and there should be no ‘gbandonment of the duty of the na- fon” to the Filipinos, leading possibly The case of Rollin Petroski vs. | r.mendment to the federal reserve act ERZERUM CAPTURED BY RUSSIAN FORCES | Germans Repulse Three British Attacks Southeast of Ypres London, Feb. 16, 5:35 p. m.—Reu- ter's Petrograd correspondent tele- graphs that Erzerum has been cap- tured by the Russians.
