receipts from his branch OF the public

THE Republican Congressional Con-
ference for this, the Twentieth district,
met at Johnstown Tuesday evening Of
last week, and was in session until FRI
day morning, when an adjournment
was had to meet at the same place this,
Wednesday, evening. At last weeks
conference nothing was accomplished
further than effecting an organization.
The Blair county candidate, Mr.. Hicks,
in a newspaper article, advocated re-
manding the question Of who shall be
the nominee back to the Republican
voters of the district and allowing
them to express a choice as 10 the four
candidates at a primary election to be
held in the several counties Of the dis
trict, the candidate receiving the
highest number of votes to be declared
the nominee by the Conference, but
when Mr.. Barker, one of Mr.. Evans
conferre S, introduced a resolution to
this effect, Mr.. Hicks conferrees Curl
ously joined with these of Mr.. Kooser
and Mr.. Thropp in voting it down.
The leading Republican daily papers
of the district, notably the Johnstown
Tribune and its namesake Of Altoona.
strongly commend the proposition as
safe and speedy deliverance from the
danger of a threatened protracted dead
lock, similar to that of two years ago.
In published interview in the Johns
town Tribune Somerset's candidate,
Mr.. Kooser, opposes this more of max
ing q nomination and gives his reasons
for so doing. At this stage of the Con-
ference the HERALD does not think it
fair to the several candidates to insist
that this method of making nomina-
ton be adopted, and entertains the
hope that the several candidates will
shortly get together and agree upon
one of their number as the nominee.
Should they not be able TO do this
within the next several weeks, then
they owe it to themselves as well as
to the Republican voters Of the dis
triet to adopt some such method as
that proposed by Mr.. Barker's resolu-
iion to give the party an acceptable
candidate. There must be no nOmina-
tion paper monkey-business in the Goth
district this year.
