lnternationa Company Mills Closed Down For One Week
TRADE CONDITIONS THE CAUSE
Although the Low Water i'll the Mill Streams Is Said to Interfere Some what With Running the Mills-The Supply of Pulp Wood Has Also Been Exhausted.

EXnduSIeQ. HaE
 Boston, Nov 25.-Thousands of men employed by the paper mills of New England and New York state are idle because of shutdown of mills at nu- merous points. The International Paper Mills, operating 2S mills in New York and New England, have an nounced suspension of operations at all points for one week. The suspen- sion is attributed to trade condition. Tn New England, however, unusually low water in mill streams practically forced the mill owners to stop machin- cry. For the same reason many !um- Der mills also have been obliged to close the saving season earlier than usual, with the result that tile supply of pulp wood has been exhausted at some points.
 Still, 1t is said that the managers were willing to take advantage of these conditions to reduce stock i'll the store houses, which contain thousands of tons of finished paper ready for the markets. The International Paper Co.'S largest New England mills are at Berlin. N, IT., Franklin Falls, N. H, Rumford Falls, Me. Livermore Falls, Me, and Bellows Falls, Vt.
 Orders have been received from the New York office by the superintendent of the International Paper mills at South Glens Falls and Fort Edward shutting down the mills until further orders. 1t is stated that all the mills i'll the combination, 2S In all, will be shut down until next Wednesday. Overproduction is given as the cause.

Chairman Partridge called the Republi-
can Municipal Convention to order at 9:15
o'clock last evening, one hour and a quar-
ter after the time scheduled for the meet
ing. The delay was caused by some trou-
bic in making the slate satisfactory to the
friends Of J. George Boyne and Colonel
Thomas F. O'Neil who were candidates
for the nomination Of County Clerk. The
first business Of the evening was the nom
inatiOn Of Public Administrator. VII
liam +. Lutz was placed in nomination
by John T. Williams Of the Thirty-ninth
District. Mr. Williams spoke as follows:
The Thirty ninth Assembly District has

When Charles Laumeisters name was
placed before the convention as a candi-
date for Assessor, 1t was received with
genuine enthusiasm. William ]. Herrin
placed the prominent citizen in nomiIra-
ton. Throughout the address the dele
gates applauded the candidate. There
We're kindly words uttered on every side.
Laumeister is looked upon as a splendid
candidate and will be able to give Asses
sor Dodge hard fight for reelection.
Herrin's speech was as follows:
I wish TO place in nomination for the i'm
portant office OF Assessor of this city and
county man well known to all OF you. who
some years ago was nominated for the office
OF Sheriff of this city and county. He was
elected by a majority of several thousand
votes. and he filled the office with credit to
himself and with honor to the people. He was
afterward elected upon the Railroad Commits
under the constitution, and it has been
one Of the most useless commissions we have
to It he felt that a public office was public
trust. Where did you find Mr.. Laumeister
when he was upon that commission? You
found him on the side of the people; you found
him reducing the rates grain and on oil.
He took a bold and fearless stand for the
people of the State of California and that is
the kind Of a man Charles S. Laumeister is;
he is a bold and fearless man. and he feels
u to be his duty TO fill his office for the ben
eft Of his constituents
Mr. Laumeister is popular with the working
people; he employs a lot of men in his mills
and he has the good will of those people,
and we need just such a as he is at
this very time when we are between the up
per ana the lower mllstones when we are
under the State Board of Equalization. which
seems "a think that 1t has to assess the
property Of this city for more than it should
be assessed. We need just such a man as
Laumeiste- as Assessor Of this city who will
stand up and do his duty and say to the
State Board Of Equalization You shall not
with my consent or my approval, raise the
assessment of this city and county SO far as
! can prevent it. Applause.)
1t will serve no nsefIi purpose for me to
go bere and eulogtze Mr.. Laumeister be-
cause he is so well known to you all that
eulogy is Unnecessary. 1 say That he is a
vote-getter; he cant be beaten. Mr. Lau-
meister will tai;e his blackboard. and he will
go through the different districts OF this city.

LONGS WARM GREETING.

Edwin ]. Lynch took the floor to second
the nomination of Mr.. Laumeister. He
also paid many tributes to him as a citi-
zen and public official When the cheer
ing had subsided Mr.. Laumeister was
nominated by acclamatiop and commit
tee was appointed to bring him before the
delegates. Unfortunately Mr.. Laumeister
was not in the hall and the delegates had
to forego the pleasure of listening to his
speech of acceptance.
If the applause for Laumeister was
great that which greeted the name of
Percy v. Long, the conventions nominee
for City Attorney, was an ovation. The
convention hall was filled with excited
delegates. who were on their feet half the
time cheering Long. His popularity ap-
peared to be very great and his nomina-
tion was received with hearty applause by
the delegates.

soldier He said Lutz would add strength
TO the ticket If nominated. There being
no further nominations, Lutz was elected
by acclamation and the secretary of the
convention was directed to cast the bal
lot of the convention-319 votes-for him.
There were loud cries for Billy Lutz,
and the popular candidate was escorted
to the platform amid great applause. In
part he said:

ton: desire to thank you for the unanimous

II Is owing to the executive ability OF Mr..
Lutz that the success of that entertainment

the time scheduled for the convention
10 meet. but they were not called to or
der until s:l5. During the waiting time
two efforts TO adjust the slate to the
satisfaction of the majority proved so
successful that there were only two con-
tests IN open session. Friends of former
State Senator Frank MCGOWAN declined
10 give the right Of way to General z. S.
Solomon for District Attorney. Support
ers of Colonel Thomas O'Neil insisted on
placing bis name before the convention
for County Clerk in opposition to the
slated candidate. John Greif. The oppo-
nents of the programme were highly en-
thuslastic but were not formidable in the
voting contest In every instance the
slate prevailed and the choice Of the con-
vention was made unanimous.
The minority delegates promised an
faltering devotion TO the whole ticket
The signal Of loyalty all along the line
from the Twenty-eighth to the Forty
fourth district was greeted with cheers.
A little confusion was created by one
incident Of the session. Judge George
W. Schen, who went to the platform to
place General SalOmOn in nomination for
District Attorney, was overcome by an
attack Of vertigo at the beginning Of his
remarks. His place on the platform was
promptly filled by Colonel John c. Currier
Of the Forty-first District. The incident
caused a demonstration in the ranks of
Senator McGowans supporters, leading
them TO entertain the hope that opposi-
tion TO their candidate had vanished
