convention and expressed the hope
that the delegates should select wise
ly and with elaboration. Upon call
ing for nominations for temporary
chairman S. r. Kenworthy presented
the name of Hon. T.. W. Hurst, refer
ring in weIl-put terms to that gentle
mans fitness to properly discharge
the duties of the office. There
were Il dozen seconds to the motion
to elect by acclamation, and it was
done.
Remarks by Chairman
Mr.. Hurst came forward, and after
being introduced spoke briefly. e2-
pressing the pleasure it gave him TO
be called upon to preside over the de
alterations of the assembly. He fur
Their stated that there is particular
need at this time for a wise and able
administration of city affairs and
that the delegates should be swayed
by a higher motive than by party
feeling. During the coming admins
tration, he said, this vicinity will
probably experience a growth great
er than ever before in its history, es-
pecially from the establishing of the
small arms plant at Rock island az
senal and. the bringing to Pleasant
Valley Of the shops of the Rock Isl
and road. For this reason, he said,
it is especially necessary that this
city be well governed in order that it
may attract those who come hither
from abroad. The administration of
the affairs of a city, the speaker
went on, is simply a business propo-
sitiOn consisting of the collection and
disbursement of taxes. and men who
understand business principles should
be selected to fill it's offices.
