At Cooper Union the Independence Party approved a full slate led by James A. Allen and Clarence J. Shearn. Hearst appeared amid cheers after a rough convention run by amateurs, attacking Roosevelt and Chanler while praising independence from corrupt old parties and urging a battle against corporate influence.
The Independence Party platform denounces corporate finance abuses and calls for direct nominations, the initiative referendum and recall, an honest election law, and anti corruption measures. It critiques current administrations, pledges eight hour work day, anti injunction use, three platoon police staffing, and a switch to a five cent gas rate if the present gas law falls.
Democratic National Chairman Norman E. Mack avoided action on Governor Haskell and denied possessing his resignation as Treasurer of the DNC. He hinted at Bryan’s influence and said Ohio party sentiment could decide blame or retention, while noting no direct word from Mr. Bryan. Mack flew to Philadelphia and returned early morning.
The Commoner edition to-morrow will publish Archbold letters read by W. R. Hearst but avoid any mention of the Haskell affair. The editorial asserts a Foraker absent from the campaign opening in Ohio signals a bad omen for the Republicans and hints at political strategy in the G. Gale context.
The Brooklyn Republicans arrange a large demonstration for tomorrow as Gev. Hughes is to be formally notified of his renomination at the Union League Club in Grant Square. He will address mass meetings at the Academy of Music Clermont Avenue Rink and Prospect Hall with a street parade by Republican clubs starting from the Union League Clubhouse.
Democratic presidential candidate William J. Bryan spoke in Cincinnati after Dayton, urging the President to implement a true square deal. He contrasted his record with Taft, defended his own nominations, and warned against government ownership and partisan use of the office. He planned to travel to Terre Haute, Indiana, the next morning.
William J. Conners Democratic State Chairman expressed strong optimism that Bryan and Chanler would win New York State by about 150000 votes. He said carrying 31 of 61 counties and a good Manhattan and Kings plurality would secure the victory with Taft notably weaker in Harlem. Chanler was expected to run as strong or stronger locally than Bryan.
