the gas. The family was awakened
Friday morning by one of the two
boarders who called the attention of
the family to the gas which had &C.
cumulated in the house. All were
awakened except Horney. and force
was necessary to pull him from his
bed. He rallied in q short time. The
family then called for men from the
gas plant, and two men descended in
to the cellar to locate the leak The
accumulated gas, however. drove
them from the cellar, and they tapped
the ground outside of the house where
they found . series Of small holes in
the pipe where the gas was escaping.
The gas wss shut off, and large hole
Was found in the pipe in the cellar.
All the members of the family are
entirely recovered from the effects OF
inhaling the gas with the exception Of
Mrs. veregge. who is still unable to

WHATEVER IS BEST
MEREDITH DESIRES
Has Formed No Opinion on
ACCESSIBILITY of Early or
Late Convention.

While Republicans over the entire
state are discussing the question as
to when the state convention should
be held, Linus Meredith of this city,
who in all probability is to be Sixth
District chairman. succeeding Elmer
Bassett, of Shelbyville, is inclined to
say but little on the subject. When
asked today for his opinion on the
convention date he declared that he is
willing to leave this matter to Repub-
licans who are better versed on the
subject.
Meredith states that he will favor
any date which the majority of promi-
nent Republicans in the state believe
would be best for the ultimate sue
cess Of the party.
IF they believe that it would be
best for the party to hold the conven-
ton early, then I am in favor OF hold
ing it tomorrow, and if they believe
it best to hold it late then l would be
in favor Of holding it the day before
the election" said Meredith.
According to reports it is obvious
that the preponderance of Republi-
can opinion throughout the state is in
favor of a late state convention for
the nomination of the state ticket,
with a special convention called to Sc
lect the four national delegates-at'
large.
Tomorrow night the precinct meet
ings will be held in the various wards
and precinct committeeman will be
chosen, who will become members of
the county central committee. Satur'
day afternoon the five precincts in
Wayne township outside of the city
will meet at 2:30 o'clock at the court
house to elect precinct committeeman
Other townships throughout the coun
ty will also hold meeting some time
Saturday.
A digest of the new registration OF
voters act and the corrupt practices
act has been completed and Thomas
NJ. Honan. attorney general, and Gov
ernor Marshall will send the digest
broadcast throughout the state in an
! educational campaign. About 10000
pamphlets have been printed contain
ing the digest and the governor ex
poets to have them distributed to the
state central committees of both par
ties within the next few days, who in
turn will see that they are distributed
throughout the state so that voters

Ontario hill. in good condition for this
