Of the old machine run things to-day In

The First Assembly district convention in
Bath was presided over by Judge Eugene

There was a good attendance at the oon-
ventions. The First Assembly district cop
vention elected T. o. Burleson OF Bath,
James W. Shea of Corning and John 8.
Moran of Erwin as delegates to the State
convention, and passed unanimously BY
a rising vote resolutions that the dele
gates be instructed to use all honorable
effort to. secure the nomination of the Hon,
William R.. Hearst for Governor.
The Second district convention elected
j. C. McGreevey of Cornell, George White
man of Wayland and Cass Griggs Of Troups-
burg as delegates to the State convention,
and instructed them to vote for Hearst

partment next year.. The sum asked for

While Commissioner Woodbury. does not
recommend that the demand for in
creasing the pay of the street sweepers
be aoceded to, he does propose that the
men should be paid for Sunday work. for
which they now get no extra remuneration.
The Commissioner also recommends that
the nav of the district superintendent
should be increased from 81 800 to S2,0no a
year. He explains that the rate of salary
these men are receiving is the same as 1t
was fourteen years ago., and insists that
the responsibilities are greater than those
of a police captain, who gets 81, $50 a year.
1t Is admitted by Major Woodbury., in his
communication that the work of the depart
ment ii. the cleaning Of streets has not in the
last year been up to the standard he would
like to see attained, and he attributes this
to the lack Of men. In order to remedy

A DOLLAR HARMONY DINNER.
with \ Side Object Of Smoking Gu Elsberg

SAAa
PEI, The Independent Republicans OF the
Twenty-ninth Assembly district are plan
ming to prevent a contest at the primaries
.by having a conferences OF all factions with
a view to uniting on some candidate for
leader who will be acceptable to all Re-
publicans in the district.
It has been arranged to give a dollar
dinner at Terrace Garden tonight to az
ford the Republicans Of the district an
opportunity "to meet and talk over the
~poiitical situation in the interest Of the
entire district and with the hope Of har-
monious and united action for the good
OF the party in the pending campaign.
The invitation reads in that way, but
II is well understood that the object Of to-
nights conference is to smoke out Edward
Lauterbaoh and Senator Eleberg, who are
believed by many OF the Republicans OF
the district to be working in the interests
Of ouigR and Odell. One Of the promoters
OF the dinner said last night:
sThe half-hearted support given Mr..
Parsons by the Odell and Quigg contingency
In the district in the county committee
has thoroughly aroused the leading Re
publicans who are making plain that the
Issue at the primaries is Quigg or Parsons,
and that as between the two no intelligent,
self-respecting Republican should hesitate
for a moment to support Mr.. Parsons. 1t
ia highly desirable that an entire ticket be
elected of substantial and self-respecting
Republicans who will reflect the real senti-
ment OF their district in their votes.
1T is understood that Ed wardLauterbach
and William Chamberlain, the present
leader, have refused to attend the dinner
or permit the use of their names on the
dinner committee. The friends Of MIR.

hostile to him. 1t is feared that a contest
