0New York Democrats in Convention at Buffalo, Choose Independence League Candidate for Governor. YELLOW JOURNALIST WAS LOCKED WITH TAMMANY Platform Written by Bourke Cockran, Does Not Endorse , iir-ir the Candidacy of William Jennings Bryan. Publishers' Pressi Buffalo , Sept. 27. William R. Hearst, candidate of the Independ ence League, for Governor of New York state, was nominated at 1:47 o'clock this morning on the first bal lot, by the Democratic convention in session here. Hearst gained control of the three important committees appointed at the first session of the con vention. These were the Committee on Contested , Seats, which decided contests in twenty districts, involving sixty votes; the committee on Platform and Resolutions and the Com mittee on Permanent Organization. The roll call of the nomination be gan at 1:45 o'clock this morning with the following result: Hearst, 309: Sul zer 124 and Dix, 107; total, 450. A Tammany Platform. The platform adopted is a triumph of Tammany diplomacy. It was de signed by a master of political finesse, Bourke Cockran, of New York, and deals with the Hearst ideas sufficient ly modified to please the conservative element. On national issues, it declares outright for the election of United States senators by the people, saying: we favor the election or u. . sen ators by direct vote of the people, and pending the adoption of an amend ment to the federal constitution, the enactment of state legislation provid ing for their direct nominations by popular vote. Regarding Mr. Bryan, the platform adopted is pleasantly complimentary, that is all. His candidacy for the presidency is utterly ignored, the con vention declaring: "In common with the democrats of all the states and expressing "senti ment of the high minded citizenship of -the republic without reference to party, we view with pride and satis faction the hospitality and acclaim which have been accorded, at home and abroad, to that great democrat leader and typical American William Jennings Bryan, to whom the democrats of New York extend most cor dial and sincere felicitations." ' An appeal for the Jews in Russia is made in the following language: '"We ask the federal government to exercise its influence to bring about speedy cessation of the atrocities now being committed against the Jews in Russia, which have shocked the con science of civilization."

WATSON By HIS E Louis Ludlow, Well Known Po litical Writer, Gives His Views on Situation, WAS IN CITY YESTERDAY HE HAS BEEN TRAVELING OVER THE SIXTH DISTRICT AND KNOWS THE FEELING WELLTALKS WITH KUHN. Louis Ludlow the well known polical writer was in Richmond yesterday in the in-terest of the Indianapolis Star, and while here had some interesting things to say concerning the present campaign in the Sixth District. t "It's Jim Watson by the same old maioritv. notwithstanding Kuhn s many speeches," said Ludlow. "I have been over the district pretty thoroughly and I find that there is no reason why Watson should lose any votes. Rev. Kubn seems to be a good campaigner but he has no grounds to work on." con tinued Ludlow. It was suggested to Ludlow that the same falling oft in the Republi can vote in maiana, as occurrea in Maine would affect the local situa tion. "Maine is not a criterion said Ludlow. "There local issues entered into the campaign and these in no way will affect Indiana." Ludlow discussed the fight which the American Federation of Labor is making on a number of congressional candidates. He said that F.dgar Perkins, president or tne Indiana Federation of Labor had been asked by President Gompers, about the different candidates in Indiana. Perkins in making his report stamp ed Congressman Watson "O. K." and said there was no reason to attack him. The Rev. Mr. Kuhn was interview ed by Ludlow, The people over the District, Ludlow says can't understand why Kuhn does not reply to Dailey, the Prohibition candidate for congress, who challenged him to a debate.

The New York Voter Seems to TRUEBLOOD HOME FROM PHILIPPINES Richmond Young Manv Has Been in Service of U. S. Coast Survey There. TALKS OF CONDITIONS HE SAYS THAT IN. MANY RESPECTS THE INVASION OF THE ISLAND HAS NOT BEEN A SUCCESS. ;.-. Howard Trueblood, a son of Prof. William N. Trueblood of Earlham, who for the past two years has served as a member of the United States Coast Survey, stationed in the Philippine Islands, is visiting his relatives in this city. Mr. Trueblood Is an old Earlham student and has been connected with the United States Coast survey for two years, serving the most of this time in the Philippine islands where the United States is striving to remedy the conditons in every way possible. Mr. Trueblood comes back to the United States with rather discouraging stories, as to the manner in which the natives of that country are taking to the idea of the .United States control. He says - that many of the colored inhabitants are willing to take up with the new laws, but many are so ignorant that they do not look with favor upon the many improvements that have been made, they desiring to remain in their former state of barbarity. This is among the lower class of blacks, who however, are in the majority when the population is taken into acconut. Although the most of his timl has been spent on the water, Mr. Trueblood has come into, close contact with the natives of the country, and on the whole he feels that the United States occupation of the islands is not as successful as many people are in the habit of thinking. Mr. Trueblood will spend a month in this city and then expects to be transferred to Alaska where the Coast Survey department is carrying on an extensive work.

The revised constitution will be submitted to the members of the Club for their approval next Tuesday night at the regular meeting of the body. . .

me that this New York campaign is going to be slightly exciting for me.

"Catholics and Socialists, if we donot stir ourselves to greater efforts, will soon be marching ahead in the triumphal peace procession," declared the speaker. "I do not approve of many points In the program of tha socialists, but I must commend their attitude In. this particular and it is with great pleasure that I see them working with zeal for the, world's peace.'.' he continued. , "We are resting on the laurels of our fathers, who gave "their best efforts 'that man might always be. at peace with his neighbor and we are not doing our share in the work that is going on around us."

Kuhn of the Chris tian church, in this city, spoke to tho Meeting on the stand of his congre gation in the peace movement. In his address he advocated a unique and idealistic distribution of the great sum of money the United States is now spending annually xrtf its army and navy. He suggested that the money be given to the states and ter ritories for the establishment of universities. He presented figures on the expense of building, equipping and maintaining these schools which show ed that each state and territory could have three universities, with a faculty each of three hundred professors. Ho also advocated a university for fallen girls and .one for convicts, all ot which was to come out of the money which the government now spends for the "big stick." Following tho speech of Rev. Mr. Kuhn, an unusual thing occurred. Mingled with tho "amens" there was the clapping of , hands. The New and the Old. The new and the old manifested it self in the Meeting-yesterday afternoon. The old came when Recording Clerk Anna M. Roberts read the minutes of the afternoon session, on which occurred the name of Rev. T. H. Kuhn.
