Graphic by Philip Gibbs.
Mr.. Gibbs, who as a descriptive
Journalist has made for himself a

s-Sir Edward Carson is the dictator
OF Ulster. The people of
Ulster, apart from that Catholic
minority who on half-holidays may
hang him In effigy on street lamp

he pulls the strings. At the word

at quick step to any kind of danger,
folly, and death. He can play upon
their emotions as upon q fiddle with

For twenty years" said MulVane,
1.-THE call has been the same, ana
going back four years we find that
at least one-third of the counties Sc
lected delegates by committees. Four
years ago the executive committee
of the Douglas county central COM
mittee selected the state delegation
from that county. Under the call 1t
is plain and proper that commit
tee may do this II 1t so wishes, and
by custom 1t has been done for twen-
ty years"
Dolley was the only one who de-
clared against the motion. which car
ried unanimously. Chairman Dolley
stated that he was against the mo-
tion and would present a minority
report to the convention.
Mulvane made the point that Dol
ley was chairman Of the executive
committee by virtue of his office OF
state chairman, was not member
and could only vote in case OF a tie
Mulvane stated that IL Dolley should
file minority report, and a creden-
tials committee should be appointed
1t would be developed that fifty-two
counties had not yet, filed their Gre
dentials and it might happen that
the convention would have to wait
day or two until these credentials
could all be brought in.

why EmpOria's Is Cheaper.
Emporia is getting the same kind
of pavement as Abilene, but the cost
Is about 10 cents square yard
cheaper. Many people were curiois
to know why. "The reason Emporia's
is cheaper" said Mr.. Amerman, lis
because the cost of material there Is
only half what the same kind costs
at Abilene and the base OF the pave
ment at Emporia is only 4 inches
and the one called for in the contract
at Abilene is Az inches. Also the
asphalt to be used at Emporia Is
much cheaper brand and Joplin chats
can be shipped to Emporla from tie
mines 31s cents less than to Abilene.
Taking in consideration the quality
OF material, Abilene is getting its
paving cheaper than Emporia." I,
