Whitman Is Named

Governor Whitman was one of the
delegates elected. Another candidate
from this city, however ex-senator
william NJ. Bennett, was not even
among the also rams. as he could not
find district leader who Won put
him on the ballot. Unless Senator
Bennett manages to find some sym
pathetic person who viii permit the
substitution of Mr.. Benefits name for
his own. the third candidate VIII not
even be permitted on the floor of the
state convention.
"The po Is were open from o'clock
this afternoon until 10 tonight" said
Chairman Koenig alter the polls
closed. "Every enrolled Republican
had an opportunity to vote for any
delegate he desired There was, how
ever, only one ticket in each Assembly
District. If there was any opposition,
however, 1t had time to manifest itself
as the official advertisement appeared
in The Tribune and Times and in
two evening papers, and. moreover en-
rolled Republicans were personally in
formed by letter Of the primaries"
The list Of delegates and alternates
by Assembly Districts follows.

SOLDIERS TO GET MAIL ON
TIME
General Pershing Reports Posta
Service Has Improved.

Washington, July 25.-A report
from General Pershing regarding
army mail service, transmitted to the
Senate today by Secretary Baker, re-
cites measures being taken to i'm
prove the service and attributes de-
lays principally to mis-addressing.
On August I. General Pershing
said, a new mail service involving
between the American
postal and army authorities and the
French government will be inaugur-
ated by which it is hoped soldiers
will get their mail much more
promptly. Special postal cars will be
provided to forward the mail on the
railroads and information will be
given the military uthorities in
charge Of the service of contemplated
Troop movements
Since the army took over the SOL
diers' mail, General Pershing said,
Improvement has been
noted and the amount of undelivered
mail matter decreased.

Warning.

The people who buy sugar in two
and five pound lots at one grocery
store and Immediately go to another
grocery store and buy two or five
pounds more. and so on, are said to be
holding sugar, by the Federal Gov
ernment. The penalty for this Of
tense is q $5ooo.oo fine, or two years
in prison. Now, the people who have
been doing this stunt had better re-
turn the sugar to the merchants that
they Bought it from, in order to save
further trouble.
For an instance, one party i'll But
Ter bought two pounds of sugar from
six different merchants, Saturday
JUNE 27th, and Immediately
had to return all but two pounds or
get into serious trouble with the Fed
eral Government.

A Qualified Candidate.

! A report has been circulated that
it would be useless to nominate and
elect me to the office OF Circuit Clerk
for the reason that | am in the draft
and subject to call Further. that If
was called after had taken office.
the vacancy would have to be filled
by a special election. This is untrue.
\ vacancy would be filled by ap-
puintmcrt. not costing the county
cent. and the office business need not
be disrupted in any way. 1t is not
likely that will be called at all Be
in a married man before the enact
ncnt OF the draft law. was placed
in the fourth class Beyond 4 doubt,
this fall Congress will amend the
draft law and extend the age limits,
thus bringing i'll million men ahead
of the present fourth class men. In
that event. my opponents will be just
as eligible as myself.
Last winter made an effort to
enlist, but was rejected by the exam

McADOO RAISES PAY OF SOC, 1000
RAIL SHOPMEN
Will Get SO Cents an Hour, Advance
of S to 13 Cents Over Recent
Increase.

| Washington. d. G., July a.
Wages G: railroad shopmen we're III
creased to 6 cents an hour today by
Director General McAdoo. with pre-
portional advances for assistants and
miscellaneous classes in mechanical
departments. The new rates, which
are retroactive to last January I, are
from S to IS cents an hour higher
than wages paid these men in most
shops under the general wage ad-
vance allowed two months ago by the
Director General, but are somewhat
less than tn labor organizations
sought.
Beginning August 1, eight hours
will be recognized as a standard
working day. and overtime, Sundays
and holiday work will be paid for at
the rate OF one and one-hali time the
usual rate. Back pay will be given
the men as soon as it can be calctllat
ed.
The advances apply to about 5oo,-
900 men and apply flatly to all Sec
tions OF the country. despite local
differences prevailing heretofore.
The addition to the aggregate annual
pay roll is estimated as nearly $780,
100000. The advance is the first ex-
tcnsivc modification of the new wage
scale and was made on recommended
ton of the Commission on Railroad
Wages and Working Conditions. fol-
lowing representations of shop crafts
that high wages paid machinists and
other mechanical workers in ship
yards resulted in discrimination
against railroad shop employees.

NORTH SIDE OF SQUARE
THREATENED
Early Discovery and Efficiency o
Fire Department Prevented
a Holocaust.

A fire which broke out in: tn.
dressmaking department Of the
Walker Nc kibbcn Mercantile Co.
sometime between seven and eight
O'Clock Saturday evening resulted in
what is estimated as not less than
$oo,ooo.oo damage to the building and
stock and for time it seemed that
neighboring buildings were threat
ened
The fire originated in the dress
making department at the northwest
corner of the second floor and was
first Seen by Johnny Campbell who
turned in an alarm. The fire depart
ment responded promptly and by the
liberal and efficient use of chemical,
and water soon had the flames under
control. although when they first ar
rived on the scene the heat was so
intense and the smoke so dense ON
the second floor that it was neces-
sary to crawl up the stairway and
play the streams from the landing.

cqnipment- We're totally destroyed He
