Before his nomination for the Vice
Presidency Theodore Roosevelt wrote
expressly for The Youth's Compan-
ion an article on "The Presidency. !"
1t will be published in the number
for November 9th, this being one
of the remaining weekly issues of
1902 sent free from the time of sub
soription to every new subscriber who
at once sends ST.. rs for The Compan-
ions 1908 volume. When this article
on 1.-THE Presidency was written
no one could have foreseen or
dreamed even that It's author would
so soon be called upon TO take up the
duties of the great office. For this
reason alone what Mr.. Roosevelt has
to say possesses extraordinary inter
est, and will be eagerly awaited by
persons of all shades of political opin-
ion.

To the Editor of the Chronicles
The Chronicle of last week said that
Mr.. Clafin, Mr.. Whitney, Mr.. Burn
ham and others had bought Speedwell
Lake. and had already drained it, pro-
posing later to run a road from Speed
well avenue to the Lake Road, and per
haps make it into public park, The
article said this was done to avoid pos
sible danger from malaria carrying mos
quitoes. am glad that we have gentle
men in Morristown public spirited enough
to take hold of a matter of this kind, re-
quiring as it does large outlay of
money, but won't the Chronicle see if
they will not consider the matter Of using
the pond this winter for skating? Pc
cohontas Pond has been washed out,
and this is really the only pond we can
skate on The members of the Morris
town Field Club have private pond,
but Speedwell Lake has always afforded
fine skating which has been thoroughly
enjoyed by the boys and girls of our
town.

fifty-five central bodies, fiftyfour local
and federal bodies and four fraternal
delegates had reported and were en-
titled to representation.
The Total Voting Strength.
The total voting strength of the
bodies represented by the delegates
was about 10000.
1t was recommended that credentials
be denied to number Of delegates
who were opposed chiefly because of
nonpayment of dues. A protest against
the seating of the delegates of the
Amalgamated Association of Carpen-
tiers was made by the United Brother
hood of Carpenters and Joiners. Upon
motion, the contest was referred back
to the committee for further action
and it's other recommendations were
adopted
James Duncan moved that a special
committee be appointed to which all
disputes between the branches of the
building trades should be referred, this
committee to report directly to the con-
vention. This motion, which removed
much of the work incidental to the dis
pute between the carpenters from the
floor of the convention, was adopted.
A special committee was also ap-
pointed during the day to consider the
differences between the longshoremen
and other organizations who claim the
former are intruding upon their terri
tory
