I then went over the matter most care- fully, among others with your chalr: man. Mr. Root, and we came to the conclusion that' the very best man we could name for a task as difficult and as_important as any that was to be performed in my administration or that of the present president, was the man whom 1 now nominate. We put him in and he made good. “It was his business to bring to jus- tice the Sugar trust, one of the great- est corporations in this country, which by a most elaborate system of collus- ion with government officials had de- frauded the government out of liter- ally enormous _sums representing a vast fortune. So remarkable was the combination that until we put in Mr. Stimson it had proved impossible to get at the actual facts. Mr. Stimson got justice. Mr. Stimson convicted man ‘after man in the employ of the Sugar trust. Mr. Stimson proved his case s0 clearly that the trust threw up its hands and returned to the gov- ernment an enormous sum. He secured a_restitution, he secured punishment. We have said on this platform that we stood for justice, that we would punish the corrupt man in public life and in business life alike, and that the high- est social or political or business af- filiations should not save the offen- der. “if we mominate him, his nomina- tion is a guarantee that every promise made in the platform will be kept, in letter and in spirit, for he is of that temper that nothing in the world could prevent him from endeavoring to keep the promise, and he has the trenchant ability that will enable him to keep it. Therefore, I nominate for the high position of governor-of the great Em- pire state, to head the republican tick- et, Henry L. Stimson.” Colonel Roosevelt was warmly ap- plauded as he concluded. No Alliance With Hearst. In response to reports that he had been in communication with William R. Hearst since he came to Saratoga, and that he and Mr. Hearst had form ed an_alliance for the campaign, Col- onel Roosevelt issued this statement: T have not communicated with Mr. Hearst or anyone else outside the con- and the candidates we have ered here today have been dis- without reference to Mr. Hearst or anyone else.” Henry Lewis Stimson. New York, Sept. 28.—Henry Lewis Stimson, whom the republicans have nominated for governor, came promi- nently into the public eve as United States district attorney for the south- ern district of New York, a position to which he was appointed by Theodore sevelt in January, 1906, In the three vears and iwo months | in office Mr. Stimson prosecuted the 1 Sugar trust and the New entral railroad for rebating, and obtained the imposition of fines aggregating nearly $400,000. He ap- peared personally before the United States supreme court and argued against the appeals taken by the New York Central, winning every appeal. The proceeding to compel the late ward H. Harriman to answer ques- tions put to him by the interstate com- commission was aiso won by Mr. Stimson and his next légal victory was over the American Sugar Refining Co. for fraud in weighing imported sugar. This case resulted in the government | recovering more than $2,000,000.in du- ties from the trust. Mt. Stimson is 43 vears old, having been horn in New York city September 21, 1867. After leaving preparatory | #chool he entered Yale and was srad- Later fie took the law In 1890 vated in 1888. he came to New York city, and, after | being admitted to the bar, entered the la office of Root & Clark, of which Elihu Root was then senior partner.

REPUBLICAN NOMINEE ENDORSED BY DEMOCRATS. 8t Judson Reccived 12 of the 23 Votes Cast at 25th Senatorial Dis- trict Democratic Convention. Shelton, Conn., Sept. 25.—For the first time in the history of the Twen- ty-fifth democratic senatorial district, and probably for the first time in any state senatorial district, the nominee of the republicans was indorsed by the democrats when at the convention to- day Stiles Judson- received twelve of the twenfy-three votes cast. When the delegates first assembled it was discovered that Stratford was represented by four delegates when the town is only credited with two. This matter was placed before the conven- tion by the credentials committee and as it seemed at that time that there was going to be no opposition to W. J. Beccher of Newtown, who had been se- lected as the nominee, the delegates were allowed to take part in the con- vention, Chairman H. R. Ellwood of Fairfield suggesting that only two of the delogates cast their votes. On the selection of Mr. RBeecher a recess was taken to ascertain whether or not he would accept the nomination. Mr. Beecher was notified of the contem- plated action of the convention and re- fused to allow his name to be used. The convention met again at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. prior to which an active canvass for Mr. Judson had been mad> by ex-Senator Donovan of South Norwalk. When the roll was called there were three candidates in the field: Stiles Judson of Stratford, H. L. Barnes of Huntington and J. T. Houlihan of Newtown. The first vote resultzd: Judson 9, Barnes 9, Houlihan 4 The second ballot still left no choice, being Judson 10, Barnes 9 and Houli- han 3., Before 'the third ballot was taken Mr. Houlihan retired in favor of Barnes, but still received two votes on the third bailot, which resulted: Jud- son 11, Barnes 10, Houlihan 2. On the third ballot there were three votes cast’ from the Stratford delegation in- stead of two as previousiy. On the fourth ballot Judson was nominated, receiving 12 votes to Barnes’ 11. At _the close of the convention much dissatisfaction —was expressed at tre outcome, it being the feeling of many of the delegates and those who attend- ed the convention that in a year which hey thought there was a better chance for a democratic victory than for some time past that it was unwise to en- dorse the republican nominee. This feeling was shown by the eleven dele- gates who voted for Mr. Barnes when they refused, on a motion by the chairman, to’ make the nomination of Mr, Judson unanimous. A committee wai selected to notify Mr. Judson of is nomination and the convention ad- journed =+ 4 o'cloc Straftord. Conn., Sept. 28 —When | Stiles Judson was notified tonight of | his. nomination the democrats of the Twenty-fifth senatorial district at the convention held in Shelton to- day. he stated that he would accept the nomination and said: “I regard this endorsement as the handsomest compliment [ ever received | in my life. 1 appreciate it very much for what it signifies. I construe it to mean that the voters of my district without regard to party affliations have approved of the stand I have tak- en on all public questions. Tt is es- pecially gratifving in_ view of the strenuous efforts that have been made gainst my being a members of the next senate by certain interests that do not stand for the welfare of the | public. THE SARATOGA PLATFORM. War Pledged on Graft—Direct Nom- inations Endorsed—The Tari Saratoga, N. Y., Sept. 28.—The plat- | form presented to the republican state | | convention by, the comumittee on reso- | | lutions was completed this mornine. | | The committee held an all night ses- | sion, and it was daylight before the platiorm framers got to bed. The most | talked of plank of the platform, the | one relating to direct nominations,con- tains principles advocated by Governor Hughes and a pledge for their enact- ment into law. Declaring “relentless warfare” upon official and legislative wrong doing, the platform points to the fact that it was a republican legislature which be- gan the work of legislative investi tion of graft. President Taft’s admin- istration is warmly commendec {also, is that of Governor Hughes. other plank declares in favor of servation and contains a desclaration that conservation measures must be such as will safeguard the rights of the state. _The platform recommends an exten- sion of the signature law as now ap- plied to general eclections to the pri maries to prevent fraud. The direct nominations plank, which comes at the end, attempts no recital of the de- tails of any proposed law. After com- mending Governor Hughes for arous- ing the interest of the people in direct nominations, the plank promises legis- lation which will carry out the princ ples involved. This plank was framed after a long conference, in which drafts of a nuinber of planks were presented. The Payne tariff law reduced the average rate of all duties cleven per cent. By increasing the auties on some luxuries and articles not in ordinary use, making, however, no increase on any common food product, it turned a national deficit into a surplus. Under its first rear of operation, the value of imports free of duty was the great- est in our history by $100.000.000, and the average rate of duty was less than under the Wilson law. Advances in the cost of living are only the local reflection of a tendency that is world- wide and cannot be truthfully said to Dbe due o the present tarifr. “Doc” Payne Commits Suicide Cleveland, O, Sept. ~Despondent becauss his wife refused to give up her suit for divorce and returs to Lim, James Payne, former trainer of the Cleveland “baseball ¢lub and a well known wrestler, pugilist and athlete, went to her homeé today and In ths presence of Mrs. Payne and her mother committed suicide by shooting himsels in the head - Payne was known in SRortips circles all over the country as NORWICH, CONN., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1910 PRICE _TWO_CENTS Boston Party Held Up In laly ROBBERS RUSHED OUT OF BUSH- ES, DEMANDING MONEY. JEWELS SAVED BY A RUSE Two of the Party Held as Hostage Until Money Was Procured—About 150 Secured by Bandits. New York, Sept, 28.—Details of the daring hold-up by brigands. of which they were the victims, while visiting Italy, were told today b Robert A. Boit, a Boston insurance man, upon his return from Europe with his wife and daughter Alice. on the steamer Oceanic. After Mrs. Boit. by clever ruse, had saved her jewels from the robbers, Boit and his brotner wers held as hostages until his wife could visit the villa and obtain money for his ransom. Bandits Armed with Guns. The robbery occurred noar Vallom- brosa, where Edward Boit, . brother, has a villa at which his reiatives were iting during an auto tour. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Boit, Miss Paiten. a niece, and Edward Boit, were in the car, when forced to halt when the road was found blocked with rocks. The bandits, armed with guns, rushed out of the shrubbery, demanding mon- t Hold-up in That Section in a Century. While Edward Boit parleyed with them Mrs. Boit quietly slipped all her rings from her fingers and dropped them in the bottom of the automobile. The men surrendered about $50, but the bandits demanded more Mrs. Boit was ordered to_the villa to pro- cure $2,500, and while she was gone the men were held prisoners. When Ars. Boit returned with about $100 the bandits seized it and fled. Al ef- forts to capture them failed.
