Without a tremor in voice, the flinching of an eye or an in- stant’s hesitation I would answer : Senator HENRY CUTE QUIGLEY ! Schooled in the art of manipulation by those two past mas- ters, the lamented HASTINGS and REEDER, incited by a very laudable ambition to get on top and not retarded by a twinge of conscience as to who is going down this young Napoleon of politics bas catapulted himesell into the position of a dictator with the rapidity of a cat shot in its nethermost portions with a load of chrystallized tur- pentine. He is second to nove and the boss of all. The convention in session here Tuesday was full of the old war horses of the coun- ty, but they took orders and obeyed as if they never did expect to shed ont again and get a running coat on. Mr. QUIGLEY permitted Capt. Fry- BERGER to he nominated for Assembly and it was done. Mr. QUIGLEY permitted GRAMLEY to be nominated for Jury Commissioner and it was done. Mr. QUIGLEY permitted Joux P. Hag- RIS, PHIL D. FosTER and 8S. H. WieroN to be named for State delegates and it was done. Mr. QUIGLEY permitted the convention to endorse JOHN G. LovE for Congress and it wae done. Mr. QUIGLEY permitted the convention to endorse his candidacy for the State Sen- ate and it was dove. And, last of all, Mr. QUIGLEY permitted the convention to elect HARRY KELLER county chairman for 1907 and it was done. Whoever has heen laboring under the impression that the Republican party of Centre is without a leader needs bat to look about him to be disillusioned. Quia- LEY'S name is on everyhody’s lips. He seems to have been the Moses they wire looking for and Love and CHAMBERS and DALE and WOMELSDORF are in the LiGe Dowie class now. He has them faded into political mists that the favorite son of Liberty Twp. will draw up fur use in his own reign. Years ago, when the foot of a boss was on the neck of STEELE CRIssMAN and Vic- TOR GRAY, when CLEM and AL DALE walked Spanish or any other old way they were told to; When LovE aud bis friends couldn’t even get a look in at party con- ventions and a few other worthies were called a ‘‘merz handful of political uo- bodies,” it was thought that the Republi- cans of Centre county were being hossed. Today they realize that they were nos. They were merely crazy with the heat. Mr. QUIGLEY has demcnstrated to them what a real hoss is and jodging from the epeech be made in the ecuvention on Taes- day he proposes to extend his bossism over every voter in the Thirty fourth senatorial district; for did he not stand up and tell us bow he expects to vote while in Harrisburg just as if there was nothing to intervene between his sovereign will and a seat in the Senate. When Little PHIL rode over the Big Fill on his way home from the convention Taes- day night, and JOHNNY HURST was whie- pering soft words of consolation to bim abous his stolen hat, there was probably sticking in his ears great gobs of lather that run something like this : “We most heart. ily endorse the action of our member of the geveral assembly, the Hon. P. E. WomeLs- DORF, who bas always shown the deepest interest in the welfare of this county,” but he i= like too many of those Philips. burg Repnblicans; he won't stand for heing bossed and PENROSE can't use him in the Senate, therefore Mr. QUIGLEY told us to give him a swift kick over the hreast works and, Selah, it was done, When Jor~x A. DaLey struck hack for the simple life among the jack-pines of Cartin Twp., he knew, as he had never known hefore, how artfully a Cute hoss can hand ont the glad mit to an old soldier and farmer with the right and at the same time «oak him with a stocking full of sand with the left. Bat JOHN was not entirely without comfort, for did he not measare Cartin Twp. stones with the Black-stones of a juvenile jurist who is aspiring to a position in his party that is sort of a oross between Col. Jism CoBURN and private SAM MILLER with the result that there were ove buodred and swo votes for the Cartin Twp. lawyer and ouly ten for the Belle- fonte lawyer. VWheu Judge LOVE gives himself an in- " | jection of Spanish-fly and moves fast enough to realize that Centre county can’t have both the candidate for Senator and the candidate for Congress he will——no, it wou’t be the Judge who will squeal. It will be Tost HARTER who will raise a stink that will make his automobile smell like a meadow of Parma violets, for Tom wants the postoffice and he wante it so bad that we wont attempt to tell you. When NED CHAMBERS thinks of the £50ts. that telegram to DUNWIDDIE cost him, and that he can never get to Harris- burg as anything else than Cousin Sam's cousin he will spit a couple of tinues and tell you he doesn’t care, but he does, all right enough. He has had to swallow his pride so often that he can swallow most everything but the sword that dangles at the side of one of the peachiest Colonels on Governor PENNY'S staff. When all of these dear old political has- beens waken up on the shelf of party obliv- ion they will ask each other the question : Who put you here? Then they will an- swer in chorus : HENRY CUTE QUIGLEY ! and join in the good old refrain : While others bossed in Centre — Hastings, Leve and Quay, — Of all us lesser fellows Each one had some say Till Henry Cuss-'im Quigley Stopped our little jig Now nobody's boss in Centre But Hen—ry Quig. The d=d big boss—er, THE CONVENTION IN DETAIL. County Chairman Quigley called the con- vention to order at 11.05 o'clock and the cell was read by the secretary, G. W. Rees. Harry Keller read the roll call of delegates and it was particalarly noticea- ble that only one delegate from Philips- burg was present and only about half the delegation from Rush township. Titus M. Gramley, of Spring Mills, was elected permanent chairman of the conven- tion avd if Jobn A. Daley bad any linger- ing hopes of cutting very much of a figure during the proceedings be saw them all disappear then as mist before the summer sun. To complete the orgacization 8. E. Goss, of Bellefonte, and J. Laird Holmes, of State College, were elected secretaries and Harry Keller reading clerk. On motion of Hon. Harry R. Cartin the following committee on resolutions was ap- pointed by the chairman: H. R. Curtin, of Boggs township; W. A. Hartsock, of Patton; W. 8. Miller, of Miles; Hiram Thompson, of College, and James S. Reish, of Potter. . Chairman Gramley then anvounced the couvention open to receive nomivations for candidates for the Legislature and C. T. Frybeiger, of Philipsburg, and Joho A. Daley, of Curtin township, were named. To make it stronger Edmund Blanchard made a little speech seconding Mr. Fry- berger’s nomination and L. E. Bollopue, of Howaid, did likewice for Daley. The convention then proceeded to ballot for the two candidates and when Philinsburg was reached and only one delegate re. sponded Connty Chairman Qaigley’s cute- ness was fully revealed. Mr. Gramley, the presiding officer, had been properly coach- ed and he ordered that the votes of the | absent delvgates be recorded according to | their instructions and from the library | came J. Thomas Mitchell, (who, hy the way, has not appeared as an active figure in Republican conventions for some years past, ) with a tvpe-written tabuiated sheet containing the vote cast and instructions all over the county and henceforth every ballo? taken was simply supeifinous work for the delegates as each vote recorded was jost as it appeared on Chairman Quigley’s tabulated shees. For form's sake, how- ever, the balloting was laboriously gone through with and when ended stood as follows: The Fryheigerites cheered the announce: ment of his selection as the candidate for the Legislature, but none of the Daley backers made a motion to make the nomi- nation unanimous. For Jury Commissioner the nominees were Clement H. Gramley. of Miles town- ship, and Theophilus Pletoher, of Howard. The balloting resalted as follows: Gramley. a 81 IPHONE oc crucnsrersmsnisarsscmasceccasvescrinns sivas df The next in order was the election of delegates to the State convention, the fol- lowing candidates heing named: Phil D. Foster, of State College; John P. Harris and E. R. Chambers, of Bellefonte; Samuel | H. Wigton, J. W. Danwiddie and Thomas James, of Philipsbarg. Before proceeding to ballot a telegram was read from Mr. Dunwiddie withdrawing his name and this provoked the only real discussion of the convention. Edmund Blanchard made a motion to ignore the telegram and keep Mr. Danwiddie’s name hefore the conven- tion a= a candidate. In this he was sop. ported by H. R. Curtin while John A. Daley and John Hust, of Philipshurg, argued that a man bad a right to withdraw anil the convention had no righs to infliet the humibation upon him of voting for him and showing how listle strength or sapport he had. Tue convention voted to allow the withdrawal of Dr. Danwiddie's name. It took joss one ballot to eleot Foster, Harris and Wigton as delgases, the result heing as follows. W. H. Masser named ex-Judge John G. Love as Centre county's candidate for Con- gress, moved that his selection be made hy acclamation and shat he he empowered to select his own conferees. The conven tion so voted. Seeing bow slick Love got through Ed Blanchard doubtless thought he could do the same thing for Qaigley for when nomi- nations were called for candidates for the | State Sevate Blanchard arose and moved that Heory C. Quigley be nominated aod empowered toselect his own conferees. But the Womelsdorf people.even though beaten, were not to be throttled quite so quickly and John Horst at once nominated P, E. Womeledorf, of Philipsburg, as a candi- date. Quigley was nominated on the first ballot, which was as follows: Qu Oa motion of Mr. Blanchard the conven- tion empowered him to select his own con- ferees. Harry Keller was, noanimously elected county chairman for the ensuing year, The committee on resolutions presented ite report in which Thomas H. Murray, of Clearfield, was endorsed for Governor and the candidates for Senator and Representa- tive were called upon to pledge them- selves] to support a two cent fare and trolley freight bills, if elected. Both Love and Quigley were called on for speeches and they each responded with brief talks telling what they will do, in the event of their being elected,—perhaps. The resolutions follow: CONVENTION RESOLUTIONS.

And now they are to be given this pleasure through the kindness and generosity of their sons, Robert and Ben- jamin and their son-in-law, Prof. George P. Bible, who will hear the expenses of the trip. And to make it even more pleasant Prof. and Mrs. Bible will accompany them and perhaps their son Rohert may also go along. Toey will sail from New York on June 9th and will go direct to their old home in Gloucestershire, Eugland, where Mr. Bradley has a sister living and Mrs. Bradley also has one. They expect to be gone two months and while the Bradley's spend the time with their relatives Prof. and Mrs. Bible will tour Europe. Spring Mills. William Pealer had his fine residence very handsomely painted last week. Our farmers are very busy just now, gar. den planting snd white washing fences, while quite a number have their potatoes ready for the patch. The “juvenile nine” of Centre Hall, play- ed a baseball game with the same caliber of Spring Mills on Saturday last. The score was 10 to 0 in favor of Spring Mills. Try again boys; don’t be scared at a defext, that’s nothing—when you get used to it. The Penvsylvania railroad company will soon commence building the bridge over the tracks from Allison's grain house, a consid- erable elevation, to meet the rad on the op- posite hill. Several serious accidents occur- red at this crossing. It isa dangerous place at any time, On Tuesday evening lasta surprise party astounded Mrs. C. P. Long by taking vosses- sion of ber parlors and dining room and making preparations for a grand feast. Of course Mrs. Long was ignorant of anything of the kind being in view, but she soon en- tered into the spirit of the occasion, and an evening of great pleasure followed; about seventy-five were present. At rather a late hour all retired to their respective homes, expressing themselves as having heen de- lightfully entertained, nnd wishing Mrs. Long many returns of the day. The return game played here ten days ago between the Spring Mills and Centre Hall teams was rather un idle pastime, the xcore being something like the hundle of a jug, all on one side—16 to 34 in favor of Spring Mills. The Centre Hall team ean play bet- ter but on this occasion evidently left all their skill at home, as they displayed very little of it on the dinmond. The honors are now even, the Spring Mills team being de- feted in the previous game, now for the de- ciding battle. Let both teams put a little more dash and vim in the game then it will be exciting and of course more interesting, Plone Grove Mention. Dr. G. H. Woods is remodeling his home on Main street. Mrs. D.
