Kinley at last came forward with his
report The findings of the commit

read by the convention secre -arv.
Chairman Burton asked if there was
a minority report and delegate from
Oklahoma moved that the credentials
committee be reversed in it's decision
to unseat E. Mont Reilly and r. H.
Todd, the Oldest member of thu ma

The Oklahoma delegate proposed
that Mr.. Todd, Mr.. Reilly and the con-

be seated and the two votes divided
among them Chairman Mckinley
seconded the motion and the conven-
tion adopted it.
Approve Credentials Report.
Then the balance of the report was
formally approved.
Then for the first time IN the his
tory of national convention a woman
took the platform as chairman of a
major committee to present a report.
She was Mrs Elizabeth Price Martin
of Philadelphia, head of the committee
on permanent organization. The con-
vention received with cheers and the
report of the committee, naming Frank
Mondell of Wyoming as permanent
convention chairman was approved un-
animouslY. There was more cheering
as Mr.. Mondell, former Republican
leader of the house, stepped to the
front of the stage in the glare of
concentrated fire from a dozen spot
lights.
The incoming chairman, began his
speech, which was a short. one, with
great elaboration His voice, multi
piled many times by the simplifying de-
vice installed at the front of the plat
form, filled the hall.
Scott Stands Up Again.
The crowd applauded when the
speaker predicted Republican victory
in November and again when he eu-
logized Lincoln, Mckinley, Roosevelt
and Harding. There was short sharp
burst of cheering when he praised the

one Coolidge delegate from that state
joined Justify in the cheering.
Ending his address by turning to
the flag-draped portraits of the past

Ban Paper Here as
"SalaciOus" Stuff

Orders were issued here today by
Thad Logan, chief of police, to take
up all copies of the Chicago Star"
which may be found in the city. The
official action here follows the thrash
ing out of the legal aspect Of the mat
ter by the Chicago authorities.
i The paper, purporting to be "clean
up" organ which exposed vice condi-
tions, was found under an opinion of
the corporation counsel of Chicago, to
be simply immoral literature masquer-
aiding under the "white" flag. An in
junction was gotten by the publishers
restraining the police there from in
terfering with the sale of the pubica-
ton. The matter was then taken to
the courts by the city officials and
the Injunction dissolved.
In letter received here today, Nor
gan Collins, superintendent of police
of Chicago, said: ct is evident that
this paper is violation of the statute
which prohibits the sale of immoral
literature. Your statute which governs
such prosecutions may be invoked in
suppressing this publication"
Chief Logan stated that number
of copies of the "sheet" have found
their way here, and that any further
sale of the Star will result in police
action.

PLAN TO WIDEN
SCOTT AVEN|
Hearing Slated for
Evening to Discuss y
ening of Avenue.
PAVING THERE SOON

A meeting of the residents of. Scott
avenue has been called to be held in
the city hall this evening at eight
O'Clock at which time for the widen
ing of Scott avenue will be discussed.
Recently petition was filed by the
property owners asking for the con-
struction of sewer and water mains
in Scott avenue. The street is now
only 33 feet wide, which is considered
very narrow for street of the inn
portance which it promises to be.
Scott avenue is a street paralleling
Sheridan road in the southwestern
part of the city and it is the belief OF
officials and many of the property
holders that it should be wider than
thirty-three feet.
The council for this reason delayed
acting on the petition, preferring to
call hearing to discuss with the
property owners the advisability Of
widening the street before any inn
provements are made. Of course the
widening of the street will necessi-
tate the securing CT additional prop
erty and this can be expedited great
ly by the cooperation of the property
owners along the street.
All owners of property on Scott
avenue are urged to attend the hear
ing this evening and take part in the
discussion of the project,

BARNETT GIVES
ELECTION tips
District Attorney Makes
Public Law Governing
Nomination Papers.
FILE BEFORE AUGUST
July 81 Is Last Day for Getting
Signers on Candidates Pa
pers, Prosecutor Says.

Morris Barnett, district attorney,
TODAY made public the law governing
the filing of nomination papers with
the county clerk. This, he said, he did
in order to prevent a reoccurance OF
the "last minute mix-up" which con-
fronted many of the candidates at
the last election At that time, he
pointed out. candidates were reused
from their beds shortly before mid
night in order to get their papers sign
ed with the proper number of sigma
lures, and under the midnight wire.
Some Of the candidates who were
familiar with the law, thought by re-
naming silent. to pull brilliant coup
and thereby eliminate competition for
the offices for which the elections
were to. be held.
Mr.. Barnett said that as district at
torney he felt it his duty to inform
all who intend to run for office IN the
coming election Of the rules which gov
ern the contest, so that there may be
no sharp tactics.
File Before July 81.
Under the state law all nomination
papers must bear the required num-
Der of signatures and have been filed
with the county clerk by the last
Thursday in July which this year falls
on the last day of the month. Those
who do not comply with this require
rnent will not have their names print
ed on the official ballot.
The number of signers which are re-
quired, as. prescribed by law, is not
less than per cent, and not more
than 10 per cent of the party vote for
presidential eleetor at the last pre-
ceeding election.
Candidates running on the Republic
can ticket must have not less than
295 signers or not more than 981;
on the Democratic ticket the papers
must have So signers but not more
than 172; for Socialist, 80 to 80; while
for the Prohibition it must be from
three to eight.
Must Have Precincts.
At least three of the county pre-
cincts must be represented on the pa
pers, to conform to the law which re
ouires at least one-sixth of the pre-
cincts represented. There are II pre-
cincts in the city and county together
candidates who are planning to
run for office are Untitled to this in
formation" Mr.. Barnett stated. "Last
election there was a general mix-up
at the last minute because of the fact
that some of those who had papers out
did not know just what was required
under the law. Some of the candidates
knew just what the law was, while
others took too much for granted The
result was that on the last night, just
before the papers had to be in the
hands of the county clerk, some Of the
candidates were forced to get out OF
bed and rush around town getting
necessary number of names on their
| papers,"
