cess the programme was fixed up and
went through without a hitch and
with the utmost harmony.
George Overmyer, son of David Ov-
ermyer of Tokeka was chairman of
the committee on resolutions and his
report brought cheers from the dele
gates. The resolutions endorse the
platform adopted by the state cOnven-
tiOn at Wichita and condemn the ac-
tiOn of the Republican-Curtis faction
in unseating the delegates to the con-
vention who were opposed to Curtis
and invited the Republicans who
would rebuke ring rule to join hands
and help elect the nominee of the
convention.

always been considered a Populist and

such. He did not attend the conven-

down of the silk mills in Paterson and
other parts of New Jersey and in
PENNSYLVANIA is threatened as a result
of the paucity of orders for the fall

the dullness in trade to such causes as
the presidential election or unfavora-

nand for the higher priced fabrics be-
cause of general financial conditions.
Thousands of persons in Paterson
