reigned within the portals of the
chamber of the Harrison Board of
Education last night after Clerk

copy of the State law which provides
hat the present board goes out of
existence on January 81.
1t was like reading a death sentence,
Every word was weighed thoroughly
and drunk in by the attentive COM
m~issioners,
What is this, a wake?" finally
spoke up Commissioner Thomas +.
Lawless. Figuratively speaking, his
voice sounded like the blowing of a
foghorn on a calm night. The, tense
silence broken. a heavy sigh went up.
Lets have the o%bsequies over WITH
piped Commissioner John Delaney.
The "obsequies'' was the passing of
a resolution resembling action in the
matter of providing more school facil-
tiles. The resolution fathered by
Commissioner John j. O'Nei stated:
I'VE do not wish to saddle any ex-
pense on our successors, cause them
any inconvenience or embarrass them
In any way
The resolution was unanimously
passed

BOME|SLER
At 3 MEETINGS
Refuses to Speak at Another
Meeting to Avoid En-
b~arrassing Rival.

Both Mayor Gregory, Democrat,
and Paltiel r.. Bomeisler, Republican,
candidates for mayor of East Orange,
continued their stumping tom last
night. Mayor Gregory had a largely
attended meeting at Al Main street.
Mr.. Bomeisler appeared at two open
air sessions in the Fifth ward, a host
of his workers accompanying him in
automobiles, and he attracted big
crowds.
> There came near being an interest
ing time in the lower end of the city
when those with Mr.. Bomeisler be-
came so enthusiastic with their work
that they decided to hold a third
meeting at a point not on the sched-
ule. The cars arrived at Main and
Fifteenth streets and a crowd gath
cred, after a boys drum corps started
but when MIR. Bomeisler heard Mr..
Gregory was to be a block further up
he refused to speak, saying mai ne
did not wish 10 embarrass his rival.
At the Bomeisler meetings Major
Frederick w. Garvin, former presl-
dent of the Board of EDUCATION, came
out against Mayor Gregory. 1t was
Ills. maiden political speech, he told
his audience, and declared he had
nothing personal against the present
executive. He said the mayor during
his two years service invariably APP
pointed Democrats TO offices, ana
many OF them are making a house
toulouse in n city, and Two
Of tho men, ne understood, who are
receiving a salary. from the city, are
devoting practically their entire time
60 making a canvass. The executive
also added expense by appointing Il
private secretary soon after BEING
elected, he stated.
Mayor Gregory makes comment
about a Board of Education failing
to pay his cab BILL continued Major
Garvin, land adds that h same
board paid 5000 for a dishwashing ma
chine, but he fails to state 1t was the
board that he appointed. | always
paid my cab bills while on the board.
He allowed former Engineer Reimer
TO leave, although he stands at the
Top of municipal engineers IN the
state, and permitted three or four
Resistant e-nrineers to be appointed.
Has there beer any great display

Chairman Walker Quite
Sanguine As To Result

Parkersburg, W. Va, Sept. II
Democratic State Chairman Stuart w.
Walker, of West Virginia, has sent
out the following statement to Demo
cratic national headquarters:
The total Democratic vote in West
Virginia in 1908 was 111,41S for Bry-
an, and 130,S07 for Louis Bennett, can
didate for governor If West Virginia
should show at the election next No
yember, the same percentage of in
crease in the Democratic vote as
shown in the Vermont election, it
would mean an addition of %, $50 to
the vote for governor and 1885 to
the vote for president
THE Republican plurality for gov
ernor in 1903 was 1888, and for pres
ident. 26,451. SO, if the Vermont per
centage is maintained the Democratic
party will carry West Virginia by
more than 10000
