As will be seen by the above the Com
mittee who framed the rules evidently
never contemplated the irregularity ofs

Between halfpast ten and eleven
o'clock Of the night of Saturday, Mar. l9,
(the last day on which an announcement
could be handed I'M, Mr.. C. j. Harrison
came to my Office and asked that Hicks,
OF Blair County, be announced for Con-
gEess, at the same time proffering me his
MIR. Harrisoa's) personal check for fifty
dollars (the amount of the. announce
ment fee. told Mr.. Harrison that I
did not think the announcement could
be made as it would be irregular snd in
violation ofour party rules. afterwards
consulted the members of the Exec
utive Committee, and found them to
be unanimously Of the opinion that
Mr.. Hicks could not be announced. Ii
is very Ger tain that Mr.. Hicks would not
be permitted to vote at any poll in the
County of Somerset, on the ground that
he is not citizen of the County, and in
my judgment one who is not qualified
voter is debarred from being candidate
at an election at which he could not
vote. therefore, finding that had no
power as Chairman of the Committee to
officially announce any nonresident of
the County as q candidate, refused TO an
nounce the name of Mr.. Hicks. To have
done otherwise would have been to set
aside the rules and establish precedent
that would cause endless trouble to the
party in the district in the future.

rules is right and that my action in this

He led the way through the car to the

significantly to the rails below them. HIS
companion started. The metal was scald-

some places its thickness had been reduced
a quarter of an inch. while in others the
projecting edges were torn OFF or hanging in
shreds, so that the wheels actually ran on q
narrow central strip. 1t seemed marvellous
that the train could keep the track.
