DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION
TO BE RECALLED.
Chalrman Guth le Says Former CUonven-
tion Has Fower to Reassemble and
Nominate Candidate for Sup rior Coart
Judges,
Demccratic State Chairman Guthrie
announced that in the absence of any
enabling legislation by the present
Legislature, the last Democratic State
convention will be recalled tc name a
candidate for one of the two Superior
Court vacancies to be elected in Nov-
ember.
Mr. Guthrie's statement is based on
the party rules which he sare must
govern in such cases. It is probable,
accepting Mr. Guthrie's view, that the
Republican State convention, which
adjourned, would follow the same pro-
cedure on the Republican ride,
When the last Legislature abolished"
Bpring elections and scheduled State
elections for even numbered years,
they overlooked the Superior court
vacancies, Under present conditions,
no specific method is provided for this
year. Bills, among them state-wide
primaries are now Unless
these bills are enacted, the question
will be up to party rules,
In response to the query as to the
procedure, Mr. Guthrie said :
*“ Of course any opinion which I
now express is predicated on the as-
sumption that no legislation effecting
the matter will be passed at this ses-
sion of the Legislature,
** Assuming then that no such legis-
lation will be passed, any nominations
for this office by the Democratic party
must be made under Section 6 of rule
VI of the Party Rules.
** This section provides among other
things, that in the event of any vacan-
cy occurring in cffice which
vacancy is to be filled by an election
of qualified eléctors of the State of
Penpsylvania the Democratic State
convention, com posed of the delegates
who constituted the lsst preceding
Democratic State convention, shall
have power to nominate a candidate
for the
if the same isto be fi
pending.
any
office « fTscted by such vacancy
led at an election
to be held prior to the next regular or
stated meeting of the Democratic State
convention,’
‘Section 7 of the same rule provides
for the manner in which the conven-
tion shall be called together,
‘‘ In case there¢fore, the Legislature
ghould adj urn without any action, it |
will be the duty of the State Chairman |
to call the state central |
gether to issue a call for a special meet-
ing of the Democratic state conven-
committee to-
tion, to be composed of the delegates
to the last state couvention, to nomi-
vate a for Superior
Court, aud to fix the time and place |
for ruch a meeting.
** I do not know, of course, how the
Republican party would act, ss I do
not kpow what its rules are; but as
the last slate convention only adjourn-
ed to meet again ou proper call, I bave |
no doubt that it also could be called to |

a period of thirty-eight years, and some
of the charter members are yet living
and active in Grange work.

appointed morning hour. Dr. Irvin,
on behalf of his Grange, welcomed the
members of the County Grange with a
hearty greeting, and this cordial wel-
come was responded to by Prof. C. R
Nefl, lecturer of Progress Grange.
The master appointed George W.
Giogerich and Mrs. D. M, Campbell a
committee on credentials.

‘Can machine power be used in do-
ing household work ?’’ was opened by
Cloyd Brooks, of Progress Grange,
He gavea detailed statement of the
use of gasoline power on the Rhoney-
miede farm of which he is manager.
He uses a one-horse power gasoline
engine for pumping water, separating
cream, turning the grind-stone, the
washing machine and clothes wringer.
While this bard work is being done,
the tarmer’s wife sits in an easy chair,
calls over the telephone on business, or
makes social engagements over thewire
with ber neighbors.

Grange fire ipeurance company, re-
ported increased business duriog the
first quarter of the yr ur. Also, that
