nomination, would be willing to ac-
cept, is variously accepted by the var
ious elements. McAdoo supporters
who were drifting away are appar-
emily returning to his support.
While Mr.. Love declined to elah-
crate, McAdoo Supporters were unani-
nous in declaring that il might be
taken as authentic. Mr.. Love is one
of Mr.. McAdoo's close personal
friends, was an assistant secretary Of
the treasury under him and during
the last year has been very active in
creating McAdoo sentiment.
Mr.. Loves statement follows:
"The question is frequently asked
whether. in view Of Mr. McAdoo's sin
cere desire that his name not be pre-
sented to the convention, he would
accept the nomination if made.
Il say with assurance, that if nom-
mated, he will accept.
The constantly increasing demand
for Mr.. McAdoo's nomination among
arriving uninstructed delegates con-
vinces me that he will be nominated
Texas will cast 40 votes for him from
the beginning until he is nominated" :"
Word that Mr.. Love was announc-
ing Mr.. McAdoo would accept the
nomination spread rapidly through
the ranks of the delegates and dis
placed all other topics. Up TO that
time the McAdoo boomers had been
working to hold their candidate in the
reserve and bring him out at mo-
ment when it appeared neither Cox
nor Palmer could be nominated. This,
they explained, had been forced upon
them by Mr. McAdoo's repeated dec
laration that he would not accept the
nomination.
With Mr. Loves announcement,
however, a lot Of new life was in
jected into the McAdoo boom, and
delegates who had once declared for
him but later expressed other affilia-
tions. in view Of his declination to
run, declared there would be a re-
turn Of strength.
Noon q o'clock in Texas was fixed
for the opening time.
The decorations Of the hall are sim
pie. with stars and stripes predomin-
ant.
With the preliminaries over. the
four big convention committees viii
get promptly To work. Greatest inter
est. in the meantime, is the presiden-
tial boom. keeping in touch with dele
gates and working for positions in the
early balloting.
Some declared that the development
meant that the McAdoo supporters
who hitherto had planned 10 keep him
in the background for consequence
Of the convention like the republicans
lat Chicago would have the big three :"
running close on the opening roll.
This possibility brought renewed
claims Of gains from supporters Of
Palmer and Cox. and set the dark
horses champing as they remembered
what happened to the big three" at
Chicago.
Frequent mention is made Of Secre-
tary Meredith ~ running mate for
McAdoo. Meredith's headquarters
were tlosed when he announced that
he is not presidential candidate.

ment OF the service he must be In error,
for the betterment Of the service can
for which not a dollar of the increased
fare could be made applicable. In
creased fare does not take care of the
Capitalization Of road.
"The Public Service Commission does
not enable, by its increase Of fare, the
company to make the extensions or ad-
ditions TO rolling stock necessary in the
expansion of the work of the utility.
One of the evils Of the contract of
1907 was that 1t treated the city OF
Philadelphia as IL it should hnvn no
future growth. 1t gave entire power to
the Rapid Transit Co. to occupy its
streets to the exclusion of every other
utility company, and irrespective Of
whether it should have tho capital to
make the extensions which ordinary
foresight would have easily indicated
must be made to meet the growth OF the
city.
"The company has just refused to
build the boulevard lines for the ac-
commodaticn of the Sears Roebuck in
dustry. In its proposal OF a traction
program for 1920 it acknowledges itself
incapable OF the expenditure of 81 ,27o,-
600 for the small extensions needed, or
the raising of So 900 900 for moderniz-
ing the equipment of 300 old cars. What
il was pleased to mention as its plans
for financing, one Of it's directors "a
banker) in open meeting declared to be
impossible, as, indeed, any man of any
knowledge Of financing must know TO be
the case. Who would purchase six
millions Of equipment bonds, secured
upon a thousand old carsf At what rate
OF discount could such loan be
written? What class of people would
invest in such securities? While there
has been a suggestion that Improvement
of service would follow an increase OF
fare, there has been no plan suggested
whereby such improvement could pos
sibly be nanced, and IL would seem
reasonable, when pctitioning the Coun-
Gil to give away the rights OF the peO-
ple, that some statement should be
made respecting the power OF the COM
pany 10 meet the ever increasing pOpu-
iatjon, and expanding industry Of the
city OF Philadelphia, considering that
the entire rights to furnish transit has
been given BY the contract of 1907 to
the company.

School Notes.

The school dismissed two days
and a half last week so that the
students could enjoy the fair.
The school display az the fair
was the best ever put on. 1t
showed excellent work on part Of
both teachers and pupils. Miss
Seidner's room received the prize
for the best departmental display.
Lester BueFge has enrolled in
the grammer department.
Several of the rural school put
on excellent exhibits at the fair
this year. Melvin Rotsch took
first prize in the seventh grade
map and Edwena Farr in fourth
grade writing.
The athletic association cleared
about $65 with their stand at the
fair. This will help materially to
pay their expenses this year.

season tickets for the lyceum
course be sure and see one of the
following students; Ina Mae Turn
