 X congressional convention was called to meet at Camden. They met and adjourned without can yassing the votes of the district east for congressman, and, from what we can gather from the newspaper reports and delegates present. the only thing that the convention did do was to organize and elect a congressional central committee. It seems that Wal Iace has given cut statement that he is the democratic nominee and that he had a certificate to that effect. given him by the chairman of the old central com mittee. During the session of the convention Mr Bradley of Clark county moved that the convention proceed to canvass the vote and nominate q candl- date for congress. His motion was ruled out of order and at this Iuncture the convention was Informed that at d meeting of the congressional central committee, on March ,, at Philadelphia Ark ansasJ rules were adopted that the chairman of the central com Imittce would canvass the vote land issue q certificate to the nom- iiuee.

Report Of Trustees.

Milwaukee, June l0.--When the con

association resumed its sessions yester-
day, President julius Lehman delivered
his annual address. He spoke in part
as follows.
In spite Of the fact that our beer is
universally pure, and that the leading
psychologists are 80 thoroughly agreed as
to its food value, the brewer finds him
self held up to obloquy and scorn, and in
many states his business is ia danger
OF conhscation. What is the cause Of
this clamorf IL ia, we believe, the fact
that very few Of the men and women
who preach prohibition have any first
hand knowledge Of the saloons. They
DO not enter them, even for purposes Of
observation, and they certainly do not
know that by far the large majority Of
saloons are decent and respectable, and
do not tolerate drunkenness or disorder
The problem OF the saloon Is one OF
regulation by statutory authority; Of ad
ministration BY the trade.
The regulation OF the saloon has been
needicssly complicated by experimental
legislation, party politics, police corrup.
ton and ineiliciency In recent years
the saloon has been growing to be less
and less a political factor. To-day it
threatens to become the biggest political
issue In our history.
1T Is our duty to hasten universal
enlightenment and to spread the con
vietion that our industry stands for tenn
perance in the best sense Of the word.
