Delegates to the Democratic unofficial
State convention met at noon today,
effected temporary organization, lin
Wncd to the keynote speech of the tern
jtorary" chairman, Frank II. Mott. of
Chautauqua, and adjourned until 8 p.
si. It was on the pronram that the,
evening session bo turned luto an old
ttrao love feast with all factions uniting
la an indorsement of Governor Alfred
E. Smith's administration of state af
fairs, and a suggestion that he be re
nominated, Rcnomjnntlon of the governor was
tke only nronoRal nnon which all the
$$t ljrate3 were united. Mayor George
" -' Jt. Lunn, of. Schenectady, candidate for
1 'toAmfnnf Inti tnw TTnltAjl Qtntfiti annntnp
lm whose nspirations do not receive
encouragement from the Tammany Hall
and up-state organization leaders, has
declared his intention of vigorously ob
jecting on the floor of the convention
to any-atten'pt to "suggest" n ticket.
Ho holds that "recommendation," "des
ignation" or "suggestion" of candi
dates would violate the spirit of the di
rect primary law-.
Party leaders have stated that the
convention would not designate any
ticket, but they plan to have the con
venthn give some expression of opinion
regarding, the personnel of the slate.
Lieutenant Governor Harry 0.
Walker,, of Binghamton. was reported
today to bo the choice of the organiza
tion leaders for the senatorial nomina
tion. Before adjourning the convention
adopted a resolution tendering the con
vention's thanks to Mayor James
Koiph, Jr., of San Francisco; Senator
Phelan, of California, nnd others for
their' hospitality to delegates at the
Democratic National Convention.
Women Want Place on Ticket
A movement to nut n wnmnn n tin.
Btate ticket has gained impetus. A
meeting of the women delegates was
held prior to the convention opening,
and Airs. John Sherwin Crosby, of
New York, who presided, named Ave
members to confer with the men lead
ers. Tho committee reported back to
the women delegates that Miss Har
riett May Mills, of Syracuse, had been
determined upon. No special post was
mentioned, but it is understood that she
wll be "suggested" for the nomination
for.seqretary of state.
.Declaring that no apologies arc neces
sary for the records of Governor Smith
and Lieutenant Governor Harry C.
Walker, .Chairman Mott's "keynote"
peech, besides praising those officials
la unstinted terms, gave a sweeping In
dorsement to the Wilson administration.
"Governor Smith, although trained
ia the1 practical school of politics, has
not been a partisan governor," he said.
"He has been the governor for all the
people.",
The purpose of the convention, Mr.
afott said, was to "ratify the platform
declarations and indorse the candi
dates" of the Democratic national con
vention. Prolonged applause followed
his mention of the names of Governor
Cox and Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Prefacing his argument by a declara
tion that hitherto American problems
have been largely local and provincial,
but have now become international, and
our deottny "inseparably interwoven
with that of all the free nations," Mr.
Mott devoted a large part of his address
to discussing tho proposed League of
Nations. " ;
"To appreciate," ho said, "that when
the liberties of one people arc attacked
and destroyed, the liberties of nil peo
ples arc, to a largo extent, attacked nnd
undermined, is nt once the truest Amer
icanism nnd the soundest Internation
alism." Wilson and League Indorsed
Mr. Mott said he did not believe party
Ucs were as strong as formerly, but
declared it could not be otherwise than
that the voters should feel, a pride in
n national administration which had
"taken tho tariff out of politics; taken
the word 'panic' out of the language of
business; had, through tho Federal Land
Bank, stimulated tho agricultural inter
ests of the country; been truo to the
needs of labor, and guided the nation
through the greatest of wars and is now
leading the world to the attainment of
permanent peaefc."
In concluding he referred to "tho as
tonishing assurance of the Republican
candidate for President that he will
sharo the duties and obligations of his
offlcc with the Senate nnd other leaders
of his party, who will be under no
presidential oath to support and de
fend the constitution.'
"Such a startling proposal," he said,
"would seem almost unthinkable if
party politics and self-interest had not
completely demoralized the thinking of
so many well-meaning American citi
zens. "So we do not know who is to bo
President if Harding succeeds, but we
do know that in the event of the elec
tion of the Democratic ticket, the Pres
ident in name and fact will be that reso
lute, courageous and enlightened execu
tive. James M. Cox."
Masor George R. Lunn, of Schenec
tady, a candidate for the nomination
for United States senator, has declared
that he will not accept a designation
and will carry his campaign into tho
primaries September 14. The leaders
arc expected to unite on Lieutenant
Governor Walker, of Dlnghamton. or
Dock Commissioner Hulburt, of New
York, to oppose Mayor Lunn. Robert
Lansing, former secretary of state, and
James W. Gerard, ex-ambassador to
Germany, are considered out of the run
ning. It is understood that the leaders
have decided that there shall be at least
one woman on the state ticket. In the
event thnt Lieutenant Governor Walker
is the preference for the senatorial nom
ination, Mrs. James D. Smith, of Buf
falo, may be suggested as candidate for
lieutenant governor. Should Lieuten
ant Governor Walker bo a candidate
for renomlnation, cither Mrs, Smith or
Miss Harriet May Mills, of Syracuse,
may be suggested for the post of secre
tary of state.

COX ASSUMES PARTY
CAMPAIGN LEADERSHIP
Candidate, Not Chairman
Whito, to Dofino What Shall
Bo Issues
Now York. Aug. 3. The New York
World, Democratic newspaper, says In
a special dispatch from Dayton:
The statements attributed to Demo
cratic Choirman George White in Wash
ington to tho effect that the League of
Notions would not be tho chief issue
In the campaign and that the under
standing reached between Governor Cox
and tho President was clastic, were not
authorized bv tho Democratic nominee
for the presidency.
Thcr were made by Mr. White with
out having had any communication with
his chjcf on tho subject and without
Mr. Cox's knowledge, and there nre the
best grounds for saving that any sat
isfaction the Ucpublicnns have derived
from their own interpretation of what
Mr. Whito said is going to be very
short lived.
Mr. Cox has not heard from Mr.
Whito since the statements were pub
lished. While it is certain that the

incident is not going to lead to any
friction which might bo detrimental to
tho Democratic campaign at tho out
set, persons who bavo a pretty good
knowledge of what Governor Cox is
thinking about say it will, lend, as soon
as Whito returns, to a thorough under
standing of the positions which the
nomlueo and his campaign manngcr nre
going to occupy.
Ho far as Cox is concerned, there arc
just two things that are going to de
termine tho chief issues in the com
ing campaign. Tho primary factor Is
fjolng to be the Democratic platform
which was adopted at San Francisco.
Second is going to bo the statements of
the candidate himself, who can be
looked on not only to deflno the issues
which he regards as most important,
but to mako whatever interpretation
of those issues ho regards as necessary.
Ha will insist, so persons who arc in
a nnsition to know say. that Mr. White's
position shall bo that of a general in
the field, whoso work it Is to map out
a plan of battle and so dispose- of his
troops as to' attain tho. desired ob
jectives, but tbat when it comes to de
fining, what the troops arc lighting for
that shall be left to tho leader of the
party, who suw.oqucntiy may be call
ed on to mako these principle effective.
Mr. Cox has refused to comment on
the statements of Mr. White, and is
said to regard tho matter as one to
which altogether too much importance
has been attached.
