An article appeared In the columns OF The STAR
OF July 80 under the title OF "The American Partys
Strength" copied from the Philadelphia Times I'm
which 1t was stated that the aboye-named party
soon expected TO receive powerful accession, ;,
this accession being the "Patriotic Order Sons of
America" Having received the obligations OF all
the degrees OF this noble order, being well in
formed on all matters OF law governing the same
having been commissioned as District president or
deputy OF the national camp or highest executive
body OF this Order and, under this Commission or
gained and instituted the camp which meets
weekly In this city, and having fuller apprecia-
ton OF my obligations and duties than the origina
tor OF the article alluded to- permit me to state
that the ''Patriotic order Sons OF America" can
never be an ally or principal In any political party
so long as our system OF Government remains as
instituted by It's wise and thoughtful founders

Wheelmen, of1icers for the year were elected as
follows: Geo. 5. Atwater, chief consul; Edw A
Demaray, vice consul; E. b. ODDS, secretary treas
urer; and E. T. Pettingili, representative. A reso-
luton was adopted requesting the Commissioners
10 repeal the police regulation requiring BICYCLES
and tricycles 10 be provided with bells and lights
The resolution sets forth the belief OF the wheel
men that II Is better and safer for to get out OF
the way OF pedestrians, than 10 signal them 10 get
out OF our way" and that we have the same rights
as horsemen and the owners OF private vehicles
(who are not required TO carry bells and lights,
and that fewer accidents and OF less fatal char.
than through the careiesness OF drivers" 1t is
further urged that nearly 1900 cyclists in this
city are put TO great Inconvenience and annoy :
anee by this regulation.
