COMMERCIAL CLUB NOMINEES
WITHDRAW FROM RACE.

H. A. Power, of the Power Grocery
Co., and Edward H. Corey, of the L.
& NJ, were placed on the Paris Com
;nercial Club ballot Saturday as nOnl-
inees for president of that organiza-
ton. The Election Committee found
it necessary to revise the ballot fol-
lowing the withdrawal of John T..
Collins and Catesby Spears, who re :
ceived the highest number of votes
for president in the nominating prl-
mary. Both withdrew on the ground
that they would not have sufficient
time aside from their business inter-
ests to devote to the office.
Mr.. Corey was formerly on the
ballot for vice-president, together
with M. ]. LAWN and Frank F.
Lowry. The rame of M. Peale Col
lier has been substituted for Mr..
Corey for that Office. The election
will be. held to-day, with the polls
open from ore to eight p. m. The
result of the election will be an
nounced at the annual meeting at the
Y. M. c. A. tonight.

VETO AWAITS The
CLERKS FEE BILL
NEW CITY SALARY MEASURE
GOES TO GOVERNOR FOR
SIGNATURE

The Carville bills putting clerks OF
court back on the fee basis instead OF
on the salary basis passed the senate
Tuesday afternoon, but will never be-
come laws. says the Times-Picayune.
Governor Parker is going to veto
them. He has held steadfastly since
the agitation for salary raises for sher-
ifs, clerks and assessors began, al
most Immediately after the general
assembly convened, that he would not
stand for the increase, and when the
news of the senates action was con-
veyed to him he indicated plainly that
he has not changed his mind:
"Say I'll veto them," he said.
The result of the effort to force a
salary raise for the clerks down the
throat of the administration will re-
suit in the clerks faring worse than
either the sheriffs or the assessors.
The plan to obtain for the sheriffs and
assessors a salary increase was with
/ drawn when the governor announced
definitely he was against it and would
veto the bills. At the same time he
declared against the wage raises, how
ever, he made it plain that he did IA
vor giving the officials ample funds
to pay the expenses of conducting
their offices efficiently.
When the salary increases were cut
out of the sheriffs and assessors bills
therefore, the provision for increased
expense allowances remained ant
went through.
The representatives Of the clerks
however, threw down the gauntlet IL
the enae iftnecan
the senate finance committee las
week and announced they'd stand o
fall on the fee basis bill. The resul
is that when the governor vetoes tn
measure they will be exactly wher
they were before, without increase
expenses having been provided TO
their offices.
