BERRY NAMED FOR
STATE TREASURER
Mayor of Chester Given an
Ovation by Democrats at
Harrisburg
JUDGE STEWART ALSO NOMINATED

Harrisburg, Pa, Aug 16-Judge John
Stewart. of Franklin county, was
unanimously nominated for the Su-
preme Count Of Pennsylvania by the
Democratic State Convention. which
reconvened here to-day, and the Demo-
cratic State campaign was formally
opened by asvigorous speech by Mayor
William II. Berry of Chester, the
partys candidate for State Treasurer.
Berry's speech was the big feature Of
the Convention. 1t not only opened the
State campaign, hut it sounded the
issues.
Mayor Berry's presence here at this
time to accept the party nomination
for State Treasurer given him on May
"a last was the result Of a plan formu-
lated by Colonel J. NJ. Guhey, the panty
leader in the State.
The convention itself was most en-
thusiastic' gathering. There were not
many absentees among the delegates
when the roll was called in the Board
of Trade Building. j. Thompson Baker.
of Union county, who presided over the
May convention, again acted in that
capacity. and ex-senator p. Gray Meek,
Of Venango county. acted as secretary.
/ Inc nam OF JuuBt cttMdlL do -l4~
party's choice for Supreme Court
Justice was presented to the conven-
tion by S. w. Hobecker, one of the
Franklin county delegates, and no time
was lost in making the nomination
Unanimous.
The only other routine work done was
the adoption OF q resolution offered by
Senator Herbst. of Berks county, con-
graduating the people of Philadelphia
on the successful and heroic work now
being accomplished in that city tc
purge the assessors lists Of the names
of fraudulent voters.
Chairman Baker then formally an
nounced to Mayor Berry the fact that
the convention on May "a had unani-
mously made him the party's candidate
for State Treasurer. When the tall
form Of the reform Mayor Of Chester
advanced to the stage the delegates
gave him an ovation which meant in
! itself that every one expected that in
the coming fight Of Berry VS.. Plummer
the Republican nominee, the Democrats
had more than a chance to obtain
victory in November.

an improvement in the fever situation.
With only sixty-two new cases found by

a question of a few weeks.

was an italian. Among the others was j.

Pierre Aldal, a well-known musician, at
