Notes
BY W. H. Q.

News from the Philadelphia conven-
ton seems to be about as scarce as
tulips in January. Post C's pencil
pusher awaited in vain for night tele-
grams. day kilograms, letters, or most
any other kind OF communications
from our worthy delegation represent
ing us in Philadelphia at the conven-
ton held there last week. No news OF
any kind was in evidence. II would
have been entirely satisfactory had
they sent their communications col
lect for We felt sure they had no
money to prepay them and really did
not expect any paid messages to be
delivered to us. In consequence of
the silence of this noted quartet who
so ably represented our post at the
national convention, nothing was
available for the Il. p. A. news col
umn last Sunday morning.
Sunday afternoon two stragglers,
Mr.. Lebo and Mr.. Brown, came home,
but the most diligent questioning ellie
tied only the following information:
Charles l.. Hopper of Omaha, Neb.,
was elected national president. T.
Schuyler Logan of Indiana, was elect
ed national secretary and treasurer,
and Peoria, Ill, was selected as the
next meeting place.
Mr.. Lebo said that he had a haZy
recollection that George w. Smith, the
old war horse of the Missouri division
was defeated for reelection on the
national board.
Just exactly why our president fail
ed to keep us posted upon the doings
of the convention has not been ex-
planned, but it seems that he was a
busy man in some capacity or other,
just exactly what the delegates who
have arrived home do not seem to be
inclined to say, but one thing was
certain he was not kept busy keeping
Post C's press committee informed as
to the doings of the convention.
We. have it from reliable authority
that Lebo's actions at Atlantic City
were something scandalous, and
postal card has come to us in which
the accusation was that he was SO
busy entertaining young ladies at this
noted resort, that he had but very lit
tie time for anything else.
Evidently the bunch" has formed a
combination and just exactly what
was done in Philadelphia, by this quar-
tet will never. perhaps, be known.
Harrington and Hegger are still
wandering around somewhere on the
Atlantic seaboard, and we understand
that they are scheduled to arrive in
Indiana the latter part of this week
Perhaps when the arrive they will be
willing to give up little further in
formation relative to what was going
on, and we possibly will be able to
give the balance of the news from the
Philadelphia convention in next Sun
days issue OF the Palladium.
We understand that the entertain
ment given was the greatest ever
handed" to the delegates of any ma
tional convention ever held Certainly
the Pennsylvania division and the
Philadelphia post in particular. know
how to entertain. Excursions, auto
mobile rides, free trip to Atlantic
City with fine dinner thrown in,
were only few of the things the dele
gates enjoyed while there.
From what we can understand this
was a convention long to be remem-
bered, and in the most part harmon
ious, and everybody enjoyed good
time every minute of the time. 1t is
up to Peoria now to keep the pace
that has been set by the Quakers.
