NASHVILLE DELEGATION
ARRIVES SAFELY.

Chicago, June 9.-The Mason county
delegation of Republicans arrived in
the Convention City safe and sound
and had little trouble gaining admis-
sion to the Convention hall for the
first days session. Those members of
the delegation leaving Maysville Mon
day which did not have tickets have
been appointed Sergeant-At-Arms for
the entire Convention so that all will
be able to attend all sessions and see
the next President and Vice-President
nominated.
Governor Lowden, of Illinois, has
the support of the Kentucky delega-
ton and Lowden stock has taken a
sudden rise since the gavel of the
convention fell. The big fight between
General Wood, Senator Johnson and
Governor Lowden is the interesting
feature of the meeting thus far unless
it be the masterful keynote address
delivered by Senator Lodge at Tues

Committees Making Reports Today
and Nominating Speeches VIII Be-
gin TOmOrrOw-MasOn County
Delegation On Hand.

Chicago, June 9.-The chief matters
on the program today are reports from
the Platform and Credentials commit
tees. As result of an all-night ses-
sion the Credentials committee clean
ed up its work. The most important
case decided by it was that involving
the delegates from the Fifth CKansas
City, Missouri district The National
committee had thrown out the dele
gates from that district, but the Gre
dentials committee will report i'm favor
of seating them, thus giving the con-
vention its full quota of delegates, 9S4
necessary to choice, 492.
The Credentials Committee session
ended in a tie in the Wood-Lowden
issue, the general having gained one
delegate in Georgia and one in Ten
nessee at the expense of LoWden and
the latter having won two in Missouri.
But the Platform committee is still
at it, hammer and tongs, these in
struments being mainly in the hands
of those who differ in regard to the
peace treaty and the League of Ma
tions.
When the first ballot will be taken is
just about as uncertain as who will be
nominated. The program calls for it
on Friday. The most hopeful don t
look for it before Friday night, while
those who are on the inside of the sit
uation say it won't come before Sat
urday.

Movement on Foot to Organize League
of mt Least Three Baseball Teams
In Maysvllle.

A movement was put on foot Tt IS
day to organize in Maysville Thurs
day afternoon baseball league to be
composed of at least three teams of
first class ball players for the purpose
of having a game of baseball at League

at the supper hour. The movement is
being backed by some of our best local
boosters and seems to be meeting with
much encouragement.

S1.6O LEVY SEEMS
ALMOST CERTAIN FOR
next FISCAL YEAR
COuncllmen and Members Of Board Of
Education Unable to Find Place
Where They Might Whittle
Down Expenses.

At the request of Chairman William
Smith. of the Ways and Means Com
mittee of City Council, members of
that committee met with members of
the Board of Education at the Council
Chamber on Tuesday evening for the
purpose of going over the city's finan-
cial condition at the beginning of the
new fiscal year
Mr.. Smith explained to the members
of the Board of Education that in spite
of the increase in assessment returned
by the Board of Equalization the city
would be unable to operate on the
money left figured at a $1.50 tax rate
if the city gave to the Board of Educa-
tion all of the money their budget
called for and asked if there wasn't
something the Board of Education
could-eut down on for the year.
Representatives of the school board
told the city's financial committee that
the budget presented to council rep
resented Just exactly what they would
need to properly operate the city
schools for next year and after a gem
eral discussion, it was decided to place
the figures squarely before the taxpay-
ers of the city by the publication in the
local press of the budgets of both the
Board of Education and the City Gov
ernment showing the people just ex-
actly what their money was being col
lected in taxes for.
II was figured that in order to give
the city the money necessary to prop
erly operate and to give the Board of
Education the money necessary to op-
crate the schools, a tax levy of at
least $3.50 per hundred dollars would
be necessary. This will be carefully
threshed out and a meeting of City
Council will likely be called for Fri
day evening to finally fix the tax rate
for the year.

AUTOS BRING REVENUE OF
HALF MILLION TO STATE.

That the automobile department is
a revenue producer is evidenced by
the fact. that more than, one-half
million dollars was collected dufing
1919 for motor vehicle licenses.
During the year 80,861 pleasure
cars, 9,086 commercial trucks, L.
sol motor cycles, 743 dealers and
1000 chauffers paid licenses to the
State, amounting to .$563,316.96.
The total amount collected by the
Motor Vehicle Department for 1918
was $416,477.31.
The new year in the Motor Vehi-
Gle Department begins with Decem-
Der and already 1000 applications
for 1920 licenses are on file in the
Office. Major T. w. woodward, who
took charge of the Motor Vehicle
Department, wants the public to
know that all licenses must be re-
newed by the first of the year. After
December 81 owners of cars cannot
run them with 1919 licenses and as
the new licenses must be secured in
December, Major woodward hopes
that owners of cars will not wait
until the last day to get them, for
in that event the department will
be unable to handle the business.
Samuel X. Wright, who was tenn
porarily in charge of the Motor We
hicle Department, will continue as
assistant to Major woodward.
