the expense Of tho Chief Executive.

were removed from the White House

will have spent six months at the work BY the

neglect their business almost entirely during thi,
period. Besides, they have been compelled to Ia
Dor diligently In the examination and discussion
ofthe numerous questions which have been brough.

This is simply "twadjle." ltis the
most powerless body ever assembled

legally take dollar out Of, the Trea-

they know but little. II they want to
accomplish anything they must work

the salary was long before they were
elected. If tho members thought it
too low, they were not compelled to
accept the position. If they went
there to make money, they mistook
the place--they should have gone to

The convention was called to order

John W. Bantz, of Clearfield, and IL.
J. Sloppy, Of Knox, were elected Sec
retarics.
The Chairman then proceeded to
call the election districts in alphabetical

judges handed in their returns, the
Clerks tallying the number of votes
cast for zach candidate. A tabular
statement of the vote will be found
elsewhere 10 this number
The returns, having all been Tailed,
the result showed that DR.. Boyer was
nominated for Assembly, W. X. Nc

for Treasurer, Clark Brown for Com
missioner, Frank Fielding for District
Attorney, Lewis G. Bloom for Audi.

Commissioner, and q motion to that
effect prevailed unanimously.
No names having bccn announced

had been polled for VIM. Tucker, 40
votes for George Thorn and "a for JOS.
