An argument has arisen over the man
ner In which the Republican witness
and challenger cards have been print
ed for the election. Monday. At the
last meeting OF the city committee, a
resolution was adopted providing
that each card should have three
spaces. for the signatures of the city
chairman. committee secretary and
the city committeeman OF the ward.
This would prevent anyone but the
city committeeman from handling
the cards for their respective wards.
Chairman Bunnell has had the cards
printed in the old manner. however,
without any space for the signature
OF the ward representative and this
has caused some grumbling. Bunnell
is passing out the cards for use on
election day.

II was pretty decent March. take u
all I'm all. when one comes to look
over its record set down in black and
white by the weather man. True
there were only six days of uninter-
rupted sunshine, but in the whole
month only LII inches OF rain fell
which Is .6S OF an inch below the
average precipitation for March for
80 years. The mean temperature for
the month was SO degrees, just one
tenth of a degree below the mean
for 80 years. Aeolus, too was con
siderate. Though his old bellows
pumped outs1l,324 miles OF wind he
kept himself pretty well in check
with the result that the average
hourly velocity was but 1872 miles

ever. For five minutes on March 10
he whooped 'er up to the tune OF 90
miles an hour, giving fearsome citi-
zcns no little alarm. but he checked
himself In time to avoid disaster.
