Sept. 2t-Th determina tion of both of the old political partlea In this state to hold their convention on the tame date thla year I In It way In dicative of th unprecedented situation In th political affairs of this commonwealth. It Is a situation which haa attracted the Intereat of the entire country and la looked to to have an effect upon the presidential campaign of two years hence. The actua tion Involve men of national political repute and President Roosevelt himself haa let his Influeno diplomatically he felt, though ostensibly keeping "hands off." " ; " Both republican arid 'democratic psrtlea are torn with factional disputes. With these Internal dissensions afflicting' the old parties, a third political party haa been launched under the 'tide ''Af the Indepen dence league. Thl league, which now haa completed It organisation In every county of th state, la th outgrowth of the Mu nicipal Ownerahtp league, which made the mayoralty fight In New Tork City laat November with William Randolph Hearst, the congressman and newspaper proprietor, at the head of the ticket. Mr. Hearat fell ahort Of election on the face of the ra tume by aome 1.000 votes'. H contested, but the ballot boxes have never been opened. A petition to the supreme court to burn the ballots wsa recently made by the corporation counsel. Mr. Hearst re dded thla move and waa sustained by the court with the understanding that Mr. Hearst would furnish at hie own expense the new ballot boxes needed for the local prim rie and the regular election In No vember. ' , Meet at Sarateaa' and BaSfalo. The republican atate convention Is to be held at Saratoga beginning Tuesday. Sep tember 25. and will ' continue probably through Wednesday. The democratic state convention Is to be held st Buffalo beginning the same day and continuing through Wednesday, or until a nomination has been s greed upon. Former Governor B. B. Odell. Jr., aa atate chairman will call the republican assem blage to order. Cord Meyer of New fork la the chairman of the democratic atate committee, having been elected to that position for the. Parker and Herrltfk cam paign two years ago. Tbe democrats were first to choose a convention date. The repubtlcana had ap parently been undecided aa to whether they should meet before or after the demo crats Chairman Odell called the atate com mittee together aoon after the democrats had announced their decision and the G-or-dlan knot waa cut by a decision to meet slmultaneouely with' tha democrats. It waa argued that If the democrats met flrat they would place this republican admlnlatra tlon on the defenslverwhereas If the rt publicans met first the democrata would be In a poaitlbn t attack the platform in convention and get a ' good aupply of po litical ammunition ' before the public through the medium of convention ad dressee. . .r' -". Th democratic convention promises to be one of tha liveliest r held In thl atat. Mr Hearat'a name rill ba placed before It by the delegate wbo have- been- In atruc,td to vote for, his nomination, Mr, Hearst IS likely to 'be attacked by his op ponent on the ground that he is tha head of an "outlaw' ticket and that he cannot be named or Indorsed without turning tha democratic party over to the' newly, or ganised Independence" league, which In cludes both democrats snd repubtlcana In Its membership. These line of battle hav already been laid down and there I no need for conjecture on th point. Just what effect tha naming of ' a complete ticket by the Independence league will have upon the fusion movement suggested by Messrs. Mack and Connors Is proble matical, however. Jerome' Terse1 Aaaoaaeeuaeat. Another nam to go before the demo cratic convention la that of the present dis trict attorney of Iw Tork county, WIN Ham Traver Jerome. Mr. Jtrom lent Immeasurably to the Intereat of th situa tion a few weeks ago by the brief an nouncement of hla candldacySwhich read: "In the present shameful condition of our political life in this state I am will ing to . run tor th cfflc of governor of the atate if : the democratic convention shall nomlnats ma without any understand ing, expressed or Implicit, other than that,.

Mr. Jerome made an Independent cam paign for re-election as district attorney laat fall and waa successful over the regy ulur nominees of the democratic, republi can and municipal ownership parties. He hss glwaya beer, a democrat, but has on every occasior. expressed his abhorrence of 'f so-called political "boasea." Mayor George 0;B.

Mr. I Jerome is wimout puijucmi macninery ana came Into the race top late to have hi ' name go before many of the cdunty con ventions called to name delegates to Buf falo. If the so-called "regular" democrata prove unwilling to accept either Mr. Hearst or Mr. Jerome, because of their Independent attitudes In the psst, there Is much specu lation aa to Just whom they will bring be fore the convention.

Th republican factional fight appears to be as bitter na that among the democrata, but the adherenta of the republican faith are not hampered by an "Independent" movement, although it la admitted the In dependence league may poll aome re publi can votes, Ita principal Influence, If th full stat ticket go on the official ballot, will be felt, however, by th democrats. Popular opinion arrays Stste Chslrman Odell agklnst Governor Frank W. Hlgglns In th struggle for control of the Saratoga convention and of the republican party In thla state. Two years ago Mr. Odell and Mr. Hlgglne were quite Intimate. It was not long after Governor Hlgglns waa Inaugurated that ther came 'rumors of differences existing between the governor and the atate chairman'. There waa no open breach, however, until the flght last winter for the assembly speskershtp. Chair, man Odell let It be known that hla candi date for th office was Assemblyman Mor rltt, of St. Lawrence county. Governor Hlgglns openly advocated the election of Assemblyman James W. Wadeworth. Jr.. a eon of Congressman Wadsworth. who aa chairman of the house committee on agri culture came Into prominence this spring during the meat Investigation at Washing ton. Rooeerell'e Haad gee a. During th speakership fight a number of the legislative leadera were summoned to Waahlngton and were In conference with President Roosevelt. When they returned to Albany there were Immediate-assurances that young Mr. Wadsworth would be chosen apeaker. He waa ao chosen on th first ballot. It then became generally noised about that the president had aligned hlm aelf morally if not openly with Governor Hlgglns and his followers In tb state. Chairman Odell was nettled at this and the further report that every effort would be made to overthrow hla leadership of the atate committee. He called upon hi friends for aupport and the fight which still continue waa begun. . In th only test vote of the atata com mittee taken thla year. Chairman Odell waa accredited with a victory by a margin of one rot. The friends of Governor Hlggtna claim that the one absent member of the committee waa aligned with the governor and had aent hla proxy te th Committee, but It arrived too late. Thl vot. they claim, would have made the division of the committee a tie. Governor Hlgglns' friends also declared that too great significance should not be attached to the vote, for a new state committee I to be named thla year. Governor Hlgglna waa a recent vlaltor to Oyater Bay, where ha waa In consultation with the president Thus once more at a critical Juncture the president haa Implied hla position without openly stating It. Ha haa given accent to Governor Hlgglns visit by Inviting former Lieutennant Gov ernor Timothy L. Woodruff to luncheon at Oyster Bay. Mr. Woodruff la one of Mr. Hlgglna' most outspoken adherenta. Hlgglas te Not Talklag. Governor Hlgglna has not openly stated whether or not he will be a candidate for renomlpatlon. Chairman Odell has publicly stated that he la opposed to the renomlna tlon of Governor Hlgglns on the ground that the history of the stte has shown candidates for re-election to be poor can didates. He thinks a stronger man could be found elsewhere. Allied with Chairman Odell ar United States Senator Thomaa C. Piatt and Lemuel Ely Qulgg. , There 1 a wall founded belief that Presi dent Roosevelt Is lending his Implied Influ ence to Governor Hlgglns for th purpose of helping him gain control of the atata convention. Then It la Intimated that-the governor will withdraw and hlmaelf nomi nate hla successor, who will be a man be lieved to b capable of drawing the votes of both factions of the party and will also b cordially approved by President Roose velt. ' . v The suggested csndtdstes other than Gov. ernor Hlgglns are quite numerous . and cover a wide range of personalities. The number haa been multiplying aa th day of the convention approachea. Among them la Charles F. Hughe, the lawyer, who was nominated for mayor of New Tork City last fall by th republicana but declined th honor. ' Mr. Hughe waa the attorney for the legislative committee which Investi gated the gas situation In New Tork City and the life insurance companies of the tat. Ex-Governor Odell haa claimed Mr. Hughes a a candidate and It has also been auggeated that he wa favored by President Roosevelt. Mr. Hughee says he has made no promises to anyone. Chairman Odell is alao credited with auggestlng ths name of Secretary of Btate Ellhu Root, now on a tour of South America. One of th latest of th auggeated repub lican candidatea Is PoiAmaater General George B. Cortelyou, who la also chairman of the republican national 'committee, and Mr. Cortelyou Is out with an announcement that he la giving his attention to the work of the Poetofflca department. Many of the namea hsve been suggested without consul tation with the principles. It Is said, but have been mentioned merely as possibilities and as men whom the party mght call upon In its hour of need. The republican fight la all the more Inter esting from ths fact that the party is at present In power In the state and has been for several years past. Hearst's Leasee la the Field.
