were greeted "With applause and
adopted with practical unanimity.
The action of the conventions indi-i
cates the general sentiment of the
republicans of the district, viz: that
I Mr. Morgan has made a good record;
that he has been a faithful and use-
ful Representative in Congress; that
has gained in experience and
knowledge, and Is better equipped
than ever before to serve the people
and that the Republicans of the
District propose to stand by the well
established custom of the party and
give Mr. Morgan a second term In
Congress.

Harrisburg, Pa.. June 22. With
United States Senator Holes Penrose
absolute control of the situation,
the Republican state convention as-
sembled here today and was called
to order shortly before noon in tlie
Majestic Theatre. In addition to
adopting a platform the convention
will name candidates for governor
and the other State officers to be vot-
ed for at the November election.
It is conceded that a Western
Pennsylvania man will be chosen to
head the ticket and the indications
are that the choice is most likely to
fall upon William A. Mlakeley, dis-
trict attorney of Pittsburg. Itlake-
ly has sprung into sudden political
i prominence through his war on the
j Pittsburg grafters. Until recently
1 ho was not considered by the leaders,
j He is a political protege of Senator
Oliver. Following the results of the
I recent primaries in DalaeU'® dlt"
I trict the party leader® came to real-
I i/o the grave peril of a Republican
! defeat in Pennsylvania this fall and
liit the same time are said to have
readied the conclusion that. Itlako-
l. v who Is now a reform man, would
be the best man to choose as the
standard-bearer in the coming cam-
paign.
Others whose names have been
mentioned more or leas prominently
in connection with the gubernatorial
nomination are Lieutenant Governor
Robert Murphy, Speaker John P.
Cox and Congressman John K. Teller.
After the dance Saturday night
two lads got into a flght behind
buildings in the alley and after the
crowd gathered the town marshal
loomed up and there was a scatter-
ing. Some t( ok refuge in 1 key's hay
ioft and some stood straight up by
conven ent p( s and looked wis" and
innocent, while one <>: the belliger-
ents told his ale i f woe to .1. P.;
and it was funny. He said he told
his opponent two or three tim<s he
had enough but he ,'ue sed the fel-
low didn't bear him, but any way
there wasn't much trouble, and pos-
sibly here wast •, owing to the time-
ly arrival of the purveyor of peace.

A large company assembled and
the beautiful presents were abund

served, and altogether it was a de-
lightful social function.
