Vincent vaulting between the agony OF
volition and the throes of uncertainty.
All consistent members of the Repub-
lican party are fully familiar with his
skulking attitude of last year and regard
with deep dsdain his desire to once again
get aboard ship, so well under way at
present.
His acrobatic character. politically
speaking, is rather amusing as well as
remarkable. and certainly deserves for
him relegation to the shades OF oblivian,
when there are SO many other good meP
i'm the ranks equally available, and who
would protect the. people from the in
satiate greed OF such a grasping corpora
tion as the Union Railroad company.

The gathering was called to order short
" after II o'clock by Rev Mr.. Hillary.
acting chairman of the convention.
In the event OF Mr.. Hillary's resigna-
ton as Npresiding officer, however, Fred
w. Jenckes was elected chairman, and
presided over the gathering for the re-
mainder OF the day.
After the contention WAS called to order
Rev. Ernest G. Wesley offered prayer.
He was followed by Rev. Robert H..
Clarke. the Prohibition evangelist of the
state of Indiana.
Mr.. Clarke spoke i'm an optimistic way
OF the cause of Prohibition in the pres
ent apd the outlook for the future.
He dwelt briefly upon the moral issue
involved In the platform OF the Prohibit
tion party. "We are not under obiga-
tion TO elect men TO any office.
I'VE must be true TO our conscience
and true 10 the right and God will take
care of the rest. All reform movements
arc slow and in the midst of discourage
ments we have. after all. much 10 en-
courage US.
II am glad 10 say that our party, after
% years, has never made a political deal
or sacrificed it's principles i'm order to
elect TO political office.
I'VE have stood clear Of all this. The
idea is fixed with the politicians that we
are in the deal for principle and for a
fixed purpose, and not for any political
preference.
"The politician recognizes that we stand
for principle and nothing else and that
sometime we are going 10 win.
For all this we should be encouraged
and we should never forget that God is
on our side and that I'm the end right
will prevail"
At the close OF Mr.. Clarke's address the
roll was called by the secretary. and the
following delegates To the convention, re-
sponded:

TRAMP CAUSES 4 PANIC
ENTERS CITY HALL WITH WELL
DEVELOPED CASE OF
SMALLPOX
WANTED TO BE vACCINATED
Building Was Disinfected and Off
Gals and Visitors Were Taken
to Health Department
for Vaccination.

More than one of the city officials who
hold forth in that imposing pile known
as the city hall and court house is nurs-
ing a sore arm today. A burly tramp IS
the cause of it all, and his presence in
the building yesterday afternoon, bear
ing every evidence of being a smallpox
suspect, caused a small-szed panic that
brought business to the office of the
health department and threatened to
swamp the meek-eyed individual who
holds forth over the vaccinating end of
the establishment
Strange to relate Mr. Tramp-for no
one was able to learn his name-came to
the office to be Vaccinated. One look at
his blotched face was sufficient to clear
the room in a second, and without de-
lay he was transferred to the bacteria
logical department where the official in
charge pronounced it smallpox, highly
developed. The hurry wagon and a
ride to the pest house followed, and for
the next hour every one who had even
looked at the Weary Willie was COB
bled in and taken to the health Office
where vaccine point was applied to his
arm. AS a precautionary measure every
jaritor In the building was vaccinated,
and the entire basement of the building
sprinkled with microbe killing fluid, the
odor from the same filing all parts of
the building. 1t was literally distributed
and if any outbreak of the disease follows
it will be no fault of DIR. Ohage. At the
time when the tramp made his appear
ance in the office, the room was full of
children, and no time was lost in making
them immune.
Where the tramp came from or where
he contracted the disease is not known.
He was taken to the pest house as quick
ly as possible, and no one was given any
time to Inquire into details. Today the
case will be investigated and his move
ments inquired into. If necessary every
one in the city hall will be vaccinated

NO RELIEF FROM ANY SOURCE

Demand Is Conn

NO RELIEF FROM ANY SOURCE

With his own party, the assembly. de-
nylng relief and the corporation attor-
ney holding that his course is in direct
violation Of the charter, Comptroller Me-
Cardy has practically decided that he
is playing losing game in refusing to
supply City Treasurer Bremen with daily
balance sheets.
Mr.. McCardy has decided to capitulate
but it is sore blow and he refuses to
talk at length OIL the situa ton. Yester-
day he was credited with agreeing to
Dow to the inevitable and with having
stated that the first of the sheets would
be made out Monday When interrogatel
as to the truth of the statement late last
evening refused to either affirm or deny
1t. Il don't know" was all he would say,
and any further reference to the subject
was turned adroitIy aside.
AT the meeting of the assembly Mon
DAY night the statement of the G l O b.
mat MIR. McCardy was now living I'D to
the appropriation of $4,000 for clerk hire
Tor his Office, was corroborated by the
corporation attorney, and consequently
the members of that body refused to give
the relief Mr.. McCardy desired Yester-
day Mr. McCardy again asked the cor
poratlon attorney for an opinion on the
matter and was again informed that the
charter was mandatory and that refusal
to furnish balance sheets was a VIOLA
ton of the charter. This settled it.
Mr.. McCardy has decided to waive fur
Their opposition and will acquise in the
demands of City Treasurer Bremen.
Mr.. McCardy, III accepting the decision,
is rot without having the last word in
the matter, and now he says that the
new state of affairs will call for cons.d-
cradle delay in the business of his Office
and will necessitate the practice of re-
auditing all claims. Close scrutiny of all
bills, he says, is a daily practice in his
office, but the new order of things will
not allow it.
