Convention didn't hang on the sidewalks
that surround Library Hall long after
they reached there this afternoon.
There seemed to be a general agree
ment that George F. Perkins was the
proper man to nominate, and the
result seemed to be foregone
by the time they gathered in
the hall. Shortly after three o'clock the
convention was called to order by ex-
Commissioner Emil E. DATE. the chair
man of the Republican City Committee.
Tom McEwan, the secretary of the COM
mittee, called the roll after a motion to
dispense with the call had been made,
and received with disfavor.
DR.. Pangborn moved that the temporary
organization be the permanent organiza-
ton.
Mr.. DATE was a little too modest to put
the motion himself, and DIR. Pangborn
put it.
The only Committee appointed was one
on resolutions. Mr.. DATE appointed GEN
eral Ramsey, DR.. Pangborn, Messrs. Conk-
right and Mould, DR.. N. Allen and John
Reid.
Police Commissioner Benson moved
that all resolutions be referred to the
committee without debate, which was
agreed to.

DR.. Pangborn came here with this reso-
luton in his pocket
The Republicans of Jersey in municipal
convention assembled recognize fully the
urgent necessity for reform in the
and with confidence recommend

support OF all citizens who desire reform
and wish to express at the polls their

Mr.. Cornelius H.. Benson sprung this

Benson had no sooner secured the adj
option of his motion before he presented
Il resolution and. wanted it read. Some
one kicked against it.
The point was made that it should be
referred without reading, The counter
point was made that reading was not de
batting it, Il it went to the committee in
spite of the hair splitting.
Benson moved a recess of ten min utes
to allow the Committee on Resolutions tc
deliberate.
DR.. Pangborn said he had his series Of
resolutions in his pocket, but he would
reserve them for the eyes of the com.
mitteemen.
The motion for a recess was agreed to-
and the recess was taxed.
