WILL MEET monday
Conference on Proposed Aero
plane Flight From New York.
LARGE PURSE TO BE RAISED
Representatives of Board of Trade,
Chamber Of Commerce and the
Aero Club to Discuss Plans.

Representatives from the Chamber OF
Commerce, the Aero Club and the Board
OF Trade will meet in the headquarters
OF the Aero Club in the Union Trust
building Monday afternoon at 4:3O O. clock
to set in motion machinery for raising the
$4,000 or $4,000 purse that will be nee
essary to assure the aeroplane race from
New York to this city. The local cele-
brants would like to have the flight made
July as a part of the celebration of that
day, but as the weather cannot be de-
pended on to favor the fight at that par
ticular date. the margin probably will be
increased from about June 20 to some
date before Congress adjourns. Prof.
Willis Moore of the weather bureau, who
is also a member Of the Aero Club COM
mittee, will be given a chance to do some
long-distance forecasting about that time
also.
AS the flight cannot be under the
auspices of the Aero Club of America,
owing to its contract with the Wright
company, it Is possible that the newly
will handle the start Of the flight The
e9 hsSs of Washington
George Myers. the president Of the new
association. saying that his organization
will do all in it's power to arrange the
New York end Of the fight.
Wrights Will Not Participate.
The Wright brothers of Dayton have
not yet been invited to participate in
the race, but came out yesterday in an
interview saying that they would not
do so. They said. however, that they
might be induced to allow some of their
professional aviators to participate.
Invitations We're sent today to the
presidents of the Baltimore and Penn
sylvania Aero Clubs and to Glenn Cur
tiss and c. K. Hamilton to have repre-
sentatives at Mondays meeting. 1t will
not be known until after the meeting
just what plan will be adopted for rails
ing the necessary funds.

From every part of the county. come
good words for Joseph Griffin, oul
present county attorney, who is a can.
didate for his second term and who de.
serves and will be given reelection Cor
his record as an official.
The prosecution of criminal matters
incumbent upon his Office has been
thorough and effective. While few in
dictments have been found, crime is at
a minimum in the county-a result
that has been accomplished without
noisy threats and buster or needless
prosecution, and at no expense to the
county other than the salary attached
to the Office. Mr.. Griffin has given a
most economical and at the same time
effective administration of his Office

the taxpayers.
From the officials who transact the
county's business, we learn that Mr..
Griffin is alway willing and prepared to
give counsel upon such matters as they
require, and that they have always
found his opinions to be correct.
When you mark your ballot next
Tuesday, be sure that cross is placed
in the square at the left Of the name
of Joseph Griffin, for by doing so you
vote for another two years of efficiency
and economy in the office of County

man who has risen by his own efforts
and who has "made good" when placed
in a position of trust and responsibility.
