 Bradshaw charged that the primary election was not authorized by the na,- tional committee and was therefore illegal A convention was held after the primary election, at which this delegation was selected.
 4 third set of delegates, headed by Robert I. Miller, charged that the pri- mary election was permeated with fraudulent voting and that the pri- mary officials were intimddated by the followers of Hogan. It was argued for thiss contingent that it received a ma joritv of the votes in the precincts in whictl no charges of fraud were made. Successive motions were made to seat the Hogan and Bradshaw delega- tions. Both were withdrawn and Fred w Estabrook of New Hampshire moved that none of the contestants re- ceive seats because of the irregularfty of the methods of selecting delegates and as a preventive of further contests from the district. This motion prevail ed with hardly dissenting vote. The district was to have had two seats ir | the convention.
 1 The decision in the Louisiana con- I test, in which delegation claimed c right to be seated over the regular delegation because the state conven- tion was held in a hotel from whicl negroes were barred, was in accord ance with a plan formulated yesterday when members of the committee es saved the role of mediators betweeI the two factions.

REPUBLICAN, DELEGATES
 POURING INTO CHICAGO
Usual Arrangements Are Made for the
 State caueuses.

Chicago, June 5.-Delegates to the republican national convention poured into Chicago all day. Many delega- tons came quietly and sought their tsotels without display. but the few that brought brass bands and banners and wore badges of favorite sons gave touch of color and something of a holiday air to pre-convention days that have been lacking.
 It was retiring delegate who wasn't buttonholed before he found his room and supplied with information about the situation"
 The lobby of the hotel where most of the delegates stop was cleared for action early, it's chairs and couches even it's ferns and palms, removed to safe places, and tonight there was nothing on the floor but milling mass of delegates. On the sidewalk outside and in other hotels in the same section the buttonholing and. the whispered conversations went on just as vigor- ously in which preparations were made for the big convention show.
 The routine of arrival and registra- ton was followed by the usual ar- engagements for state caucuses al which officers and national committed men will be named. In several dele gations, New York and Illinois in par ticu1ar, facttonal fights have developed over the selection for the committee

 A most helpful service at the Shell ter1ng Arms Sunday afternoon was in charge of Rev. n. J. Wyckof The subject of the address was The Light ed Taper. In the days when some of you were young, said the preacher a candle was a candle No thought was given to it's style, it was for use. So much oR beauty and work is put upon tho candles of today that they are of ten only for ornament A life may ac- cumulate wisdom, experience, things lovely and true and sweet, and yet give out nothing, be no comfort in the gloom of life. A light from worthy life can make the way plain. A life that gives service is like a lighted can dle. Our life's experience may help those in sorrow. A flame in this ehe1- tered spot should have a chance to burn clearer and stronger than one outside in the world. We who come here learn of contenfment, faith and peace from your lighted tapers. No candle lights itself It is when God is in the heart that His light shines through the face and bearing Tn sim pie ways of sweetness, patience, loving example, counsel, our lights may re- feet Gods glory. even as Christ said, Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and g1ortfy your Father in heaven.
 The beautiful rendering of the hymns, especially The Homeland, was greatly enjoyed. In the anthem Come, Holy Spirit, Heavenly Dove, the tenor solo was given in fine voice. Members of the quartette were Mrs. G. T. Lord, Miss Luctle Lord, Arthur Black1edge and Archibald Mitchell, 4th. Miss H, Louise Fuller was at the piano.

Councilman Flynn stated there was some justice in the claim made by Mr. Blackler. While the licensed op- orators of public vehicles were as- signed stands in the public highways and paid certain fee therefore, which was correct, he was of the opinion that others carrying passengers for hire should do likewise, and be un- der similar restrictions. When there is an opportunity for the regularly li- censed public vehicles to make good, as in the present labor conditions and the Bradford train wreck, these h- censed men have competitors who do not pay this special license fee. There should be no privileged class and all carriers for hire should be on the same basis, from his standpoint. How ever, he understood that the state statutes made exemptions, and there fore the remedy was not with the town council
 Councilman HasWeH stated that the council could make no ordinance that would be in conflict with state law.
 Town Solicitor Agard said that the language of the town ordinance was the same as that of the state law, but it did seem as if there was justice in the claim of Mir Blackler. The mat ter was referred to Councilman Flynn and Solicitor Agard.

Those who have to pay license should be protected from unfair competition, he said.

Community Joy

Endless gloomy materialists Jeered at
the community idea when it first pushed
its tender shoots through the SHOWS of
American cynicism. The poor thing ap-
parently stood not a chance in the world.
Who ever heard Of any get-together spirit
in this land Of the free? We could grow
excited over any number Of things, home
run, Charlie Chaplin, what not. But never
anything to do with civic affsirs-the very
word civic had pale, anamic, self-right-
eous, boresome turn. How could anything
in the name Of the community prosper?
Nevertheless, about 5000 men, women
and children gathered about the city's
Tree Of Light in Madison Square night
before last, and cheerful time was had
by all. The same success has met com
munity Christmas trees in all the suburbs
and lesser cities that have tried them.
The idea truly meets response that be-
speaks a need. People, all kinds of people,
do enjoy standing up together in a crowd
and singing at the top Of their voices
about the most joyous occasion OF the
year. The apathy and cynicism which
were expected to attend and dampen van
ish in the fun and excitement and beauty.
The community tree has come TO stay.
This being the season Of high hopes and
fairy tales, we can 90 on to think of these
community movements as really doing
something subtle and ayailing for the
heart and mind Of each of us. They might
represent the STRINGS Of new interest
in the collection of human beings with
whom we live our neighbors. They
might tend and foster this new interest,
and make US all reader to do our share
in a crowd. Who knows but that they
really do!
