Practically all the delegates to the fif-
teenth quadrennial meeting of the Meth
odist general conference which convenes
in the First NJ E. church this morning
at o'clock are in the city, and indeed
last night the entertainment committee
was almost swamped for short time be-
cause of the large number that appeared
at the same hour.
The foresight of the committee was APP
parent, however. when the lists began to
be cleared up and everybody was salts
faetorily quartered. It is the largest body
of delegates Birmingham has ever had
the pleasure of entertaining and SO far
she has deported herself admirably,
Bishop Alpheus W. Wilson of Baltimore
will preside at the opening this morning
and the other bishops of the church will
then preside in rotation. The routine
work of organization will be the first
thing taken up and because of the large
number of delegates this is expected to
consume considerable time. While it is
customary for the bishops address to be
read to the conference on the opening day
it has not yet been fully determined
whether this document will be presented
at today's session. 1t will depend large
ly on the time consumed by the prelimi-
uaries

be presented to the general conference. 1t
is said to he much more voluminous than
usual and it is also said that it's con-
tents will be in the nature of a departure
from precedent. In former years the
bishops message has been largely de-
voted to a resume of work done by the
various branches of the church during the
four years since the presentation of the
previous message.
1t is understood that the message this
year will be in the nature OF a state pa

held at Pocatello, August l..
Usually less interest is taken in
this convention than in the one
held later on to nominate candi-
dates for local offices, but is
nevertheless more important
that good delegates should be
sent to represent the county at
the state convention where cam
didates for state officials and
member Of congress are to be
selected as well as delegates from
the judicial districts nominating
candidates for judges. 1t is also
proposed that the state conven-
ton will discuss and act upon
the question OF nominating a
candidate for u. S. senatorship.
This question is in fact assuming
more interest at present time
than the selection OF candidates
for state officials and should be
thoroughly discussed at our
county convention. 1t is to be
hoped that republicans in all the
precincts will turn out to the
coming primaries, July 16, and
send delegates to represent their
sentiments at the county con-
vention
A call has also been made for a
meeting OF the county central
committeeman to meet here on
the evening Of the day Of thecon-
vention, to fix the date for call
ing the convention 10 nominate
a county ticket, and transacting
other business. We hope to see
a full attendance OF this commit
tee.
