Frank Sharkev was unanimously elected
the presiding officer as II. E. Swartz refus-
ing to serve. II. E. Swartz, of Upper
Mauch Chunk, and Michael Cassidy, of
Nesquehoning, were elected secretaries and
the business of the convention opened by
Hon. Michael Cassidy presenting resolu-
tion to the effect that the matter of adopt
ing the Crawford County System IN this
county be left to the people at the next
primary election. This motion was obstruct-
ed by amendments and substitution and at
1915 the convention adjourned its morning
session without having acted on the ques-
tion. Upon convening at half-past one the
resolution proper as presented by Hon.
Michael Cassidy was again before the Con-
vention and upon a call for yaes and nays
was overwhelmingly defeated. The ques-
ton of making change in the rule govern
ing the nominating convention resulted in
much fruitless and unnecessary discussion
Ed. Enbody, of Mauch Chunk, presented
the following resolution which was unani-
mously adopted:
Resolred: That Hon. Allen Craig be the
choice of the Democracy of Carbon county
for Congress from this district, and that
he have the usual privilege of appointing
his own conferees.
The following gentleman, without oppo-
sition, were elected delegates to the next
State Convention: James Mulharen, Lans-
ford; Patrick Lawlor, Nesquehoning; Il. r.
Enbody, Mauch Chunk. Nominations for
the county offices being in order, Henry
Trapp,o Weissport, nominated for associate
Judge Charles Seidle, of Normal Square;

sing and James Malloy, of Lansford, were
