TRAMP
Aroused From Sleep, But
Five Buildings Burned

Pittsburg, Pa, June ga would-be
humorist's attempt to frignten sleep
ing tramp by exploding a fire cracker
near him, resulted in a fire early this
morning that for time threatened
to wipe out the town of McKees Rocks.
The tramp was sleeping in vacant
stable in the rear of 119 CHARTERS
avenue. One of number of boys pur-
chased irecrackers and lighting them
threw them in beside the tramp.
The result was that the sparks from
the firecrackers lighted an old mat
ress, which smouldered until o'clock
when It broke out in flames. The
stable was burned and the flames
rapidly communicated to other build
ings. The volunteer firemen were
helpless, owing to the headway the
flames had gained before their arrival,
and an appeal was made to nearby
boroughs.
After five hours work the flames
were put under control, but not before
five big buildings had been burned
and number of others badly scorched.

the election Nov. Z, 1911 At the last
general election the question OF hold.
Ing a constitutional convention was
submitted to the people in such a way
that those who voted straight party
tickets voted for the holding OF the
convention. The vote stood as fol-
lows:
For the convention. .... 693 ,263
Against the convention. 67,718
The general assembly has Just
passed a bill providing for the cleo
tion Of delegates to the convention.
The law is unique in that It provides
for nominations by petition, ostensibly
without reference to party. Any per.
son who files properly drawn petit
ton, containing the names of per
cent. of the electors who voted at the
last general election, not less than 300
in any instance, may be candidate
for delegate. The names of all candi-
dates are placed on separate ballot
WlthOut party ucolShdtioH.
Provision is made in the new law
that a petition may contain state
ment that the candidate to be NOM
mated is In favor of or opposed to the
separate submission to the people by
the convention of the alternative ques-
tions: Shall the convention provide
for the licensing of the traffic in in
toxicating liquors; or shall the consti-
tuition prohibit the licensing of the
traffic in intoxicating liquors." The
number of delegates to be chosen is
equal to the number of representatives
in the general assembly to which
each county or district is now entitled.
This will make total membership of
119. Each delegate will receive the
salary now paid to representative.
The Liquor Question
"The only question suggested in the
law itself as likely to come before the
convention, is the liquor question. And
this will doubtless be burning is
sue in the choice of delegates. But
many other important questions will
certainly be considered. Among these
will be the classification of property
for purposes of taxation; the introduc-
tion of the merit system in ali state
departments and institutions; the
initiative, the referendum and the re-
call. Perhaps every feature of the
progressive programs, of which we
hear so much In these later years,
will be considered 1t is needless to
say that it behooyes every citizen to
ponder well who should represent him
in this convention. If delegates are
chosen who are neither reactionaries
nor fanatics, who are in sympathy
with advanced popular opinion on all
important questions to be considered
by the convention, Ohio in her new
constitution may take great forward
stride beyond the narrow partisan
methods and practices that have stood
in the way of the progress of the state
to the decentralization, at times, of the
electorate and the public service"
