LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
The Town Hall Roof.

MT. Editor: Knowing your strict re- gard for the truth we beg you Will ind space to correct a somewhat misleading statement in this mornings issue of your paper anent the tinsmith's strike and the town hall. AS matter of fact there was no tinsmith employed on the job in question but a plumber carrying q plumbers union card as the firm who employed him do not employ a tinsmith at all and there was no strike declared against their shop. This man worked two days on the job after the tinsmiths waIkout leaving it Tuesday night he claimed as tight as possible. On We'd nesday afternoon Janitor Fields consult ed Business Agent Sweeney, telling him that he had been given twenty four hours to put men on the job preferably union men We instructed MT. Sweeney to in form him and also the firm having the job in hand that we would furnish all the men needed to complete the job which offer was fatly refused, leaving it sduarely up to them for any damage that might be incurred.
 As for the damage claimed nearly ev- cry tinsmith iR town knows that the
 gutters in question have been in a rotten condition for long time and the dam
 age which has been steadily growing worse for the last two years was done long before the walkout as anyone can plainly see by looking at that washed down condition of the brick wall on the
 Broadway side of the building. As there were no tinslniths employed on the job and we have no jurisdiction over the plumbers we pray that you will in jus tice to the tinsmiths publish this true statement of facts.

SNAP SHOTS OF
 G. o. r. CONVENTIONS Copyrighted by G. M. Adams Service
FOURTEENTH CONVENTION.

The fourteenth republican national convention again went to Chicago and met June 16, 1908. Roosevelt had an nounced to the country on the night of his election in November, 1904, that he would not be candidate to succeed himself. Theoretically, this left an open field.
 But actually, the fact that President Roosevelt favored his secretary of war for the succession, gave William Howard Taft of Ohio, a vantage which presaged the inevitable result This assurance was in no degree lessened by the fact that Frank H. Hitchcock undertook the management of Taft's campaign.
 Senator Julius c. Burrows of Mich'.
 gan was temporary chairman, and Sen
 ator Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachu
 setts was permanent chairman. In the
 midst of Lodges address. eloquent refer
 ence to Roosevelt started demonstra-
 tion which lasted the greater part of an
 hour, undoubtedly intended to stampede
 the convention in his favor. But one roll call ultimately suficed to
 settle the issue, for on that roll call Taft
 received TOP out of a total of 979. His
 nearest competitors were Senator Knox of Pennsylvania, with 6S; Governor
 Speaker Cannon, with 5S. Fairbanks re- ceived 40 votes; Senator Foraker of Ohio, Is; Senator LaFollette of Wiscon- sin, 25, and Roosevelt, 3.
 The vice presidency was likewise set tied on a single ballot, when Congress man James $. Sherman of New York re- ceived SIS votes; his only appreciable competitors being Franklin Murphy of New Jersey, with IT, and Curtis Guild of Massachusetts, with 75.
 One of the interesting features of this convention was refusal, by vote of 471 to 506, to reduce the representation of southern democratic states in future conventions, approximately increasing
 that of republican states in the north. The platform was a lengthy affair which sounded new notes in relation to | new and more elastic currency system. 1 the establishment of postal savings 1 banks. the limitations on the issuance of 1 the writ of injunction, and the admis- 1 sion of New Mexico and Arizona as sep arate states in the Union.
 Minority attempts to amend the plat | form were uniformly unsuccessful. Typi- | cal of this was the conventions refusal, | b va vote of IA to S66, to declare for 1 the election of United States senators 1 by direct vote.
