I ————_—.. Demon Bellefonte, Pa., June 10, 1910. _P.GRAYMEEK, - - - held at the rooms of the Democratic State Com- mittee in Harrisburg, on Thursday, April 7th, 1910, notice is hereby given that the Democratic State Convention will meet in the Lyric Theatre, at Allentown, Wednesday, June 15th, 1910, And to act upon and determine such other mat- ers, pertaining to the work and welfare of the party in this State, as may be brought before it. ARTUUR G. DEWALT, Attest; Chairman. P. GRAY MEEK, Secretary. Patton Nominated at Saturday's Pri- maries. Had it not been for the contest between Charles E. Patton, of Curwensville, and Lewis Emery Jr., of Bradford, for the Re- publican nomination for Congress, last Saturday’s primaries would have been de- void of any special interest, but there was enough of the real fighting spirit injected | ; into the contest by the friends of the above two men to makeit real interesting and something on the order of the old- time fights the Republicans used to have here fifteen and twenty years ago. Pat- ton, of course, was the regular machine candidate and had the support of the local organization and all the postmasters throughout the county while the managers of Emery’s fight could be counted on one hand Theresult was, it was quite a one- sided fight though the Emery people were game to the last but the odds against them were too great. Emery’s greatest strength developed in Bellefonte, Philips- burg, and Rush, Marion and Benner town- ships, where he held the Patton vote al- most even. Otherwise the vote was over- whelmingly in Patton's favor as can be seen from the fact that his majority in the county was 956. For State Senator on the Republican ticket Phil E. Womelsdorf, of Philipsburg, naturally led in the vote in Centre county but in the district he was beaten by Joseph B. Alexander, of Madera, Clear- field county, who, according to an un- official count had 2051 votes to Wom- elsdorf's 1919 and Fred Schofield’s 1909. On the Legislative ticket there was no regular nommee and the voters simply wrote in the name of the man of their preference. The result was that thirty- four men received one or more votes but J. C. Meyer, Democrat, had the highest vote, 165, and so his name will go on the official ballot as both the Democratic and Republican nominee. John A. Daley was next to him with 52 votes. The only contest’ on the Democratic ticket was between tbe seven candidates for delegates to the State convention and the three who were chosen to represent Centre county at Allentown next week are J. M. Cunningham, of Bellefonte; A. L. Auman, of Coburn, and W. H. Noll, of Pleasant Gap. Hon. W. C. Heinie, of this place, being the only candidate in the district, got the nomination for Congress on the Democratic ticket. The official count of the vote at the primaries was made by the county commissioners on Wednesday and is as follows: PRIMARY RETURNS.

BELLEFONTE ACADEMY CLOSES SCHOOL YEAR. ~The Bellefonte Academy closed its school year yesterday and practically all of the boarding students have depart- ed for their respective homes. On the whole it was a very successful year all through, though marred somewhat by more than the usual amount of sickness among the students which, however, can in no way be ascribed to the institution, as everyone very well knows. And when the school on the hill is opened in Sep- tember we predict it will be with an in- creased attendance, or as many as it will have room to accommodate. As a prelude to the closing of the Acad" emy the annual reception was held last Friday evening and it was a very success- ful event. The grounds and the building were beautifully illuminated and during the evening several hundred persons visited the institution, while a number of brief congratulatory speeches were made by patrons and friends of the school. Following the reception the annual dance was held in the armory and as usual it proved a gay social event. About two hundred people were present. The music was by Smith's orchestra and the refresh- ments served by Summers. Of the student body twelve young men have completed their course and will enter college in the fall. In addition there are at least four others who could easily make up their studies and be amply able to enter college but they have decided to return to the Academy for another year’s special work, which in the end will ad- vance then just as rapidly as entering the A ———— ———— T_T AT - - work and will enter college next fall are as follows : State College—Harold Foster, of State College; Foster Doane, Butler; Edward Sprague, Scranton; Frank Entrekin, Har- risburg; Gilbert Meyers, Pittsburg. Cornell.—Lincoln Weaver, Pittsburg ; Cameron Keefer, Williamsport; LeRoy Colestock, Butler. University of Pennsylvania.—Harvey Thompson, Pittsburg ; Joseph Griffith, Freeland; Hugh Sterling and Paul Miiler, Pittsburg. ——During the past school year the students of the Bellefonte Academy have been represented in the college and school paper world by 2 publication of their own entitled the Xcellentidea. It has always been a creditable school jour- nal but the commencement number pub- lished this week is one which reflects so much honor and glory on the young ed- itors, managers and contributors that it is deserving of more than a passing no- tice. It is a neat two column paper— magazine in fact—of forty-four pages ex- clusive of the cover, beautifully illustrat- ed and containing, in addition to a histor- ical sketch of the Academy, a big lot of very interesting reading matter pertain- general. There are also two pages of | jokes, illustrated, and one of poetry, and ‘the staff of the Xcellentidea can take con- siderable pride in the fact that it is all j original matter, written by the students | themselves, and not copied from other publications.

Former President Roosevelt was the guest of Oxford, England. He delivered the Romanes lecture at the University of Oxford, and the university con- ferred upon him the honorary degree of doctor of civil law. Colonel Roosevelt's subject was “Biological Analogies of History.” It was heard by a large audience of noted scholars, who applauded the lecturer at many points. The lecture and the conferment con- stituted the great feature of the day, but it did not complete the program, which was about as crowded as any that the distinguished American has undertaken in his European travels. Colonel Roosevelt emphasized in his lecture the need of curing the politi cal ills of nations, and he touched again on the British control of Egypt. This latter subject had been looked for expectantly, but his remarks had nothing of the stirring tone that caus- ed a sensation in the Guildhall au- dience in London. Drawing analogies from the biology of prehistoric ages he touched upon the civilizations ci succeeding centur- ies, dweliing on the rise and fall of the Roman empire and the Dutch re- public and the gfireatness of the Brit- ish empire. Upon this historical basis he built up warnings to the British and American people. The greatest enemies of nations, he declared, are these within, not those without. It was thus that Rome fell, and it was against luxuriousness and evil within, he said, that England and the United States must guard. “Free people can escape being mas- tered by others,” he asserted, “only by being able to master themselves.” Again he said: “Privilege should not be tolerated because it is to the advantage of a minority, nor yet because it is to the advantage of a majority. No doctri- naire theories of vested rights or free- dom of contract can stand in the way of cutting out abuses from the body politic.” Of the Egyptian situation he said: “No hard and fast rule can be drawn as applying to all alien races, because they differ from one another far more widely than they differ from us. But there are one or two rules which must not be forgotten. In the long run there can be no justification for one race managing or controlling another unless the management and control are exercised in the interest and for the benefit of that other race. This is what our people have in the main done, and must continue in the future in even greater degree to do, in India, in Egypt and the Philippines alike.” Of race suicide his most striking declaration was: “A most ominous sign is the dimi- nution in the birt: rate now shared by most of the civilized nations of cen- tral and western Europe, of America and Australia; a diminution so great that if it continues for the next cen- tury for the rate which has obtained for the last twenty-five years, all the more highly civilized peoples will be staticnary or else have begun to go backward in population, while many of them will have already gone very far backward.” .
