The delegates to the national cou.
vention are home and seem to be none
the worse for their experience.
j. NJ Lewis and Marion Shreeyes
were in Indianapolis yesterday to take
in the balloon races. Both these men
have aspirations to fly high some day
and were looking for few pointers
on aerial navigation.
The delegates report a splendid good
time at the convention and claim they
were never more royalty entertained
in tleir lives than at Asheville. North
Carolina certainly knows how to enter
tain and the boys came home full of
E.any pleasant memories Of the 1909
convention.
The next convention place is Chatta-
noo;a. Tenn.

A new office, that OF assistant sec
retary-treasurer was created and Mr.
Schuyler Logan was selected to fill it.
The salary attaching - this new Of
flee Is the same as the secretary treas
urer receives, $1,000 per annum.
B. G. Thompson OF Evansville: c. A.
Bronenberg of Anderson; S. S. Stall.
fort Of New Albany; NJ. M. O'Connol
OF Indianapolis and w. H. Quigg o.
Richmond, had charge Of the candida
cy OF Mr.. Logan for national secretar,
treasurer.
1t seems strange that men can't be.
have when away from home. We are
all more or less weak in this respect
Even Quigg, the yer best gentleman
ever. went bad at Asheville. Will. tho
first time up at table began to drink
And 1t wasn't an ymild drink either.
George. the colored waiter. having
been told to bring in most everything
of the menu, was finally requested Il
bring in some milk, just common milk
George took one good look at Quigs
| and a good long look. too. when he
| returned with the meal sure enough
he had milk, just three large glasses
of Southern milk which he placed very
| carefully in row in front OF our ge-
NAL president. These quickly disap
peared and three more were carried in
only to suffer like fate. Finally t.
tighten his burden Of supplying Quifgl
with milk a cow was backed up to thu
window and milk was then soon /:
ready commodity. And now Quigl
complains of feeling badly and say'
the water was bad. 50.
The defeat at Asheville of Schuyler
Logan for the office Of secretary-treas.
urer gives us many things to ponder
over Mr.. Logan went before the ma
tional convention as Indianas candi
date with the voluntary and unanimous
endorsemet Of the Evansville conven
| ton. The delegates were pledged al
a unit to support our candidate to thu
very last and go down to defeat will
him if defeat it had to be. Further
more, Mr. Logan was to be Indiana:
| only candidate. To this everybody
agreed. Does 1t seem honorable ant
| square. after entering into this agree
| ment, as above stated, to have anothe
candidate. one Of the delegates at Ev
ansville. to cone forth and declare
himself as another candidate from In.
diana for national office: Mr.. o.
Meara, in announcing himself at this
time knew full we'll 1t meant the de.
feat of Mr.. Logan. as Missouri, always
| behind La Beaume, would take up his
candidacy and support him as against
any other candidate for president.
The office of national president Of
the T. P. A. is one which carries will
It great honor. To be elected by hon
orably means to the most honorable
/ position of the great organization hal
been the ambition Of many good men
NJ. O'Meara. while an excellent gen
tleman and a man full of energy, ant
determination, has obtained his offic,
By means which we all do not admire
1t would have been much better to
have entered upon the office with the
solid support OF the Indiana delegation
