CONVENTION PLANS.
Bepublicans Have Decided to Meet
at Harrisburg oil Aug. 21.
DEMOCRATS CAUGHT NAPPING.
fiiftftafte of u Hill Through the LPK
l.slature Will Protect the Present
Republican Superior Court .luMtieen
(Special Correspondence.)
Harrisburg, May 21.—Gen. Frank
Reeder, chairman of the Republican
state committee, having made a can
vass of the members of that body and
found that a majority favor the hold
ing of the Republican state convention
in this city on Aug. 21 next, will
shortly issue a call for the convention
to he held here on that date.
This fact has attracted attention to
the work that will have to be perform
ed by this convention. There are but
two candidates to be nominated, one
for justices of the supreme court to
succeed Justice Potter, of Allegheny
county, and a candidate for state treas
urer to take the place of Col. James E.
Barnett.
AS TO CANDIDATES.
There is not likely to be any opposi
tion to the nomination of Justice Pot
ter to succeed himself. No one else
has been mentioned for this honor,
and, in accordance with the practice
of re-electing members of the judiciary
who have served well and faithfully,
he will be nominated for the full term.
He holds his present position under an
appointment by the governor to fill an
unexpired term.
A state treasurer cannot succeed him
self, so that Col. Barnett will retire at
the end of his present term. He has
made a very efficient and attentive pub
lic officer, and under his administration
the funds of the commonwealth have
continued to be guarded safely, as they
have been in the past.
There are several gentlemen mention
ed to succeed him, but the only one
for whom friends are making a can
vass is Representative Frank G. Har
ris, of Clearfield county. Mr. Harris
lias been a stalwart among stalwart Re
publicans and a conscientious and suc
cessful legislator. He has a splendid
record as a member of the house, and
his recent activity in the cause of pure
butter must command admiration and
support of the farming element. He
is the author of the Harris anti-oleo
margarine bill, which, after a hard
fight, he succeeded in putting through
the house of representatives. Among
others who have been mentioned for
the nomination of state treasurer, al
though none of them is regarded as an
aspirant for the place, are Senator H.
H. of Warren county, Repre
sentative A. Nevon Pomeroy of Frank
lin and Speaker of the House of Rep
resentatives William T. Marshall of
Allegheny.
REPUBLICANS WERE ALERT.
Republicans members of the legisla
ture are still smiling over the manner
in which they caught their Democratic
colleagues napping when they put
■through a bill which will protect the
present Republican membership of the
superior court of Pennsylvania. While
had the matter been made a party is
sue, the Republicans would possibly
have had no difficulty in passing the
legislation they have secured, they are
iileased to have slipped through a bill
giving them what they desired without
a contest and before the Democrats
knew what was going on.
Under the old law, on the expiration
of the terms of office of Justices W.
W. Porter, of Philadelphia, and W. D.
Porter, of Allegheny, one of them
"would have to retire to make place for
a representative of the minority party,
ioth of them being Republicans.
There was introduced in the state
senate some time ago a bill which at
tracted little interest. It amended th»
act of 1899 regulating the election of
judges of the superior court.
Under existing conditions, when two
tir more judges of that court are to be
-elected, the voters are restricted to
•rating for the entire number to be
elected, less one. This provision of
the act was inserted to give the Dem
ocrats representation on the bench,
when there was more than one vacancy
to be filled. The bill which passed last
week amends the law by allowing vot
ers to vote for the entire number to be
elected, except when four or more va
cancies are to be filled, when the mi
nority party Is given an opportunity
to elect one.
TO PROTECT PRESENT JUSTICES.
This amendment becomes Inopera
tive after 1909, and the present law is
then again to take effect. This will
permit of the re-election of Judges Por
ter of Philadelphia and Porter of Alle
gheny on th« same Republican ticket
in 1908, when their present terms ex
pire.
If this change in the law were not
made and these two Republicans were
the only justices whose seats on the
bench were then to be filled, a Demo
crat would b& elected in place of one
of them. Judge P. P. Smith, the pres
ent Democratic member of the court,
or whoever may be nominated by the
Democrats to succeed him, will be pro
tected by this amendment, as the terms
of Republican Judges Rice, Beaver and
Orlady expire at the same time, 1906,
and their being four vacancies to fill,
the Democrats would get one of them.
In the eveut of a vacancy occurring by
death or resignation of any of these
judges before the expiration of their
terms the Democrats could not under
the bill just passed elect one of their
party in 1905.
It has been estimated that not
less than two hundred million dol
lars are expended in the United
States for advertising, chiefly in
newspapers. It is also estimated
that a hundred years ago not as
much as one hundred thousand
dollars a year was paid for adver
tising. Then, and for many years
later, merchants and many others
advertised mainly to help support
the local newspapers, and not to
promote business. Now nobody
advertises in a spirit of charity,but
purely as a business proposition.
Every advertiser fully expects to
get profitable returns from his ad
vertising investment. That the
business men of this country ex
pend millions annually for news
paper space is the best kind of proof
that newspaper .advertising does
pay.—Philadelphia Record.
Love's According to Nationality.
Some writer asserts that a French
woman will love her husband if he
is either witty or chivalrous; a
German woman, if lie does not dis
turb her ease and comforttoo much;
a Spanish woman, if he wreaks
vengeance on those who incur his
displeasure; an Italian woman, if
he is dreamy and poetical; a Dan
ish woman, if he thinks that her
native country is the brightest and
happiest on earth; a Rusian woman,
if he despises all westerners as mis
erable barbraians; an English wo
man, if he succeeds in ingratiating
himself with the court and the aris
tocracy; an American woman, if he
has plenty of money.
