This evening, at its rooms in the Hub
building, the annual meeting of the
chamber of commerce for the election

which so many of the large property
owners have entered vigorous obiec-
lions.
In addition the chamber will likely
take up the project Of bringing to
Wheeling the Republican state nomi-
mating convention, which has been
brought forward by the Intelllgencer.
Probably a bipartisan committee viii
be selected to appear before the state
central committee, which meets here
February q. to push Wheeilng's
claims. The same committee may be
instructed to go after the Democratic
convention.

Acceptances Of invitations to partlcI-
pate In the great Dewey Day" parade
are beginning to pour in on Chairman
Garvin, Of the executive committee, and
1t iS assured that the uniformed division
of the parade will be very large and
brilliant. Among the latest accept
auces is that of the Duquesue Grays, Of
Pittsburgh, sixty strong, who will be
accompanied by band OF thirty
pieces, which is attached to the organ
IzatIon. Other acceptances include
those Of Company E, Seventh regiment,
Ohio National Guard, OF summerton,
Ohio, and Of Company C, West Virginia
National Guard, Of Wellsburg. In ad-
dltion to these there are acceptances
from many Of the unuuitormed organi-
cations. Every council of the Junior
and Senior Mechanics Of the city and
vicinity will be in line. The Wheeling
Potters' Union and Welcome lodge, A.
o. U. W. have both filed acceptances.
Chairman GarvIn has asked superin-
tendent Anderson, OF the Wheeling city
schools, to take charge Of the school
ehlldren's division In the parade, and 1t
is the superintendent intention to take
the matter up at the meeting Of the
board Of education Thursday night.
Personally. the superintendent is in
favor OF having the school children in
line. In this connection. Chairman
Garvin has received letter from SUI
perintendent Stewart, Of the Martins
Ferry schools. asking for information
as to the school chlldren's division, and
stating the desire Of the Martins Fer
.ry high school to have place in the
line.
The executive committee has the OPP
portunity Of arranging for an attractive
feature In connection with the exer-
clses at the site of Fort Henry. The
Arion, eBethoven and orpheus singing
societies and the Mendelssohn choir
have all stated their Willingness to
combine In arranging an immense male
chorus on this occasion, the programme
to consist of patriotic songs. This Is
something that should be taken up at
once and carried through. No more
attractive feature could be secured.
Chairman Garvln has received let
ter from Colonel r. E. Fast, command
ant Of the West Virginia University
Cadet Corps, stating that the corps
would be unable to come to Wheeling
unless transportation and substance
are paid by the Wheeling committee.
This, Of course, cannot be assumed by
the committee. and 1t is to be regretted
that the cadets cannot come.
The executive committee. Messrs,

charge Of the old soldiers division Of
the Dewey Day" parade, it was de-
clded to suspend further arrangements
until Grand Marshal White decides
upon their application for the
right Of line. BY granting
their application the marshal will be
paying deserved tribute to an organI-
cation upon which too many honors
cannot be heaped, besides which there
is the fact that Admiral Dewey is a
member of the G. A. R., and his first
lessons in the art Of war were learned
in the conflict out of which the G. A. R.
grew. No other organization intending
to participate will begrudge the boys Of
81 the honor they seek.
