The Second Election.


On June IS. the convention. refusing to
accept Bishop Brent's refusal as final.
again balloted for bishop. and on the
fifth ballot again elected Bishop Brent by
a vote Of q clerical and Is lay votes, over
Dr. McKlm. who received Is clerical and
26 lay votes. DR.. McKim moved to make
the election unanimous, but this motion
was not carried. DR.. McKlm urged his
motion. saying that Bishop Brent would
be handicapped in his work If he were 10
accept the election and assume the duties
unless he were fully supported by the
diocese.
Following this second election. DR.. Nc
Kim cabled Bishop Brent: You have
again been elected bishop. Anectionate
greetings"
Bishop Brent has neither declined nor
accepted the second election, and is now
on his way to Washington TO confer with
the church authorities.
Speaking OF the matter yesterday, DR..
Mckim said:
"On May S, the day after Bishop Brent
was first elected. l cabled him. When
you reach decision, let us know by
cable My sole object in sending the mes
sage was to learn, without undue delay,
whether he would accept, to the end that.
in event of his declination. the conven-
ton might proceed to elect some one else.
Had We waited for letters, the convention
would have adjourned and no election
could have been held until October.
Without my knowledge, and at the
solicitation Of several members Of the
convention, DR.. Johns, secretary Of the
convention, cabled that bishop to withhold
his decision pending the receipt Of letters
which fully set forth the proceedings OF
the convention and urging him to accept
the election. That my cablegram had no
effect upon Bishop Brents reply is shown
fully by his letter to me received yester-
day.
'I am glad to be able TO make this let
ter public, as It fully disproves the charge
that my cable in any way influenced his
decision"

our readers below. together with the
resolution finally adopted by the Ma.

ject. Mr. Gregg's argument Is clear,
logical and convincing, and II Is hoped
that this action Of the National Asso.
citation OF Manufacturers will have
some lettering effect upon the altruis.

his worthy lieutenant now occupying
the war office, and apparently In
charge Of Philippine matters. Mr..
Gregg's address was as follows:
"The exact tariff situation In the
Philippine Islands Is understood BY
only small percentage of the manu-.
facturers of the United States, and 1t
Is understood by still smaller per.
centage of the American people at
large. Briefly, the United States tariff
is not in force in the Philippine Isl.
