Call For Convention Is Recalled.

10 Difference to the views of several
members of the Chouteau county re-
publican central committee, it is an.
nounced by g. W. Morrison, chair.
an or that organization, that the
county convention to select delegates
to the republican state convention will
not be held. The date originally set
for the county convention was May IL.
and primaries were to be held in each
precinct May 8. This arrangement is
declared off, it having been decided
by members of the committee that a
representative convention of delegates
from the several precincts is extremely
difficult to secure on such an occasion,
and that the selection Of delegates to
the republican state convention can
be made by the committee itself.
Notice to th at effect has been sent to
each member Of the central committee
By Chairman Morrison, who desig-
na.es Tuesday evening, May 7, as the
time of the committee meeting at which
uClCk oeCS w III UOu COuSCu@
ton will be chosen. The committee
meeting Is to be held 1t the council
rooms 10 this city, and each committee
man is urged to be present.
Among the re assigned for the
cancellation of the convention call is
the creation of several e voting pre-.
cincts in the county, which have no
representation on the central con
msttoe, and it is assumed that prim-
aries would not be held in such pre-
cincts. Some of the precincts in which
an election was held two years ago
are also without representation in the
central committee. It Is also stated
tn at the selection of delegates to the
state convention in the pro-
posed is sanctioned by the custom in
vogue on similar occasions when
representation of Chouteau county re-
publicans was desired.

Growing Membership

Masonry here is fast gaining re-
cruits to it's, already large ranks, as
is shown by the fact that goody
number of candidates were received
last night at the regular meeting Of
the M. B. Council Lodge. Other appli-
cations are coming in continually to

AS the oldest and most worthy of
the secret orders, Masonry has always
enjoyed steady growth here, which
seldom diminishes to any considera-
bic extent The growth of the local
lodges has been steady and sure.
Tie opening of the new year, how
ever, has been characterized by an I'M
usually large number of applicants
for membership, so that it may be
trutEfully said that local Masonry is
booming. The growth and develop
ment experienced by this order is also
reflected in that of the other secret
orders represented here.

BY MOONLIGHT
WORK WAS Done
In Finishing Concrete on Lee
Street Bridge

Last night and the night before the
light of the moon was utilized by the
laboTers in charge of the work being
done on the Lee street bridge in or
der to finish the laying of the concrete
there. The work was rushed in order
that the requisite time may be OBJ
tanned for the hardening of the con-
crete without delaying the completion
of the bridge too long. The laying of
the concrete was finished last night.
1t requires practically four weeks
FIR this kind of concrete to thoroughly
set and harden, so that the work was
rbshed in order that the bridge may
be completed by March l, if possible.
The indications now are that the WORK
on the structure will be completed by
that time. Already the work has been
completed on the main part of the
structure, so that there is now moth
ing left to be done but the placing Of
the balustrades and the laying of the
wooden blocks on the main part Of
the bridge and the concrete walks a.

blocks will be the most desirable ma

the bridge will be ready for formal
delivery to the city either by March
