Bailey, Boland and Kobioson Con sent to He Democratic Nominees E SO NOTIFIED THE COMMITTEE Final Uselslon Given at a Meeting Hold lathe St. Charles Hotel Yesterday Afternoon -Formal Letter of Acceptance Still to Corao. James G. Bailey, Christopher d. Bo land and Edmund Robinson have ac cepted the nominations tendered them Tuesday afternoon by the Democratic city convention. They made known their decision yesterday afternoon In the St. Charles hotel to the committee of notllicatlon named by the convention. Mr. Bailey when Interviewed Tuesday night after the convention positively refused to be a candidate for mayor, but yesterday he was urged by well known Democrats to reconsider his de termination and in the afternoon yielded to the entreaties of his Demo cratic brethren "asralnst his better Judgment and his wishes," as he put It himself. Yesterday morning Mr. Bnlley, Mr. Roland, the candidate fur treasurer, and Mr. Robinson, the candidate for con troller, met with a few friends and dls cused the situation and it was arranged that all of the candidates should meet at 2 o'clock In the afternoon at the St. Charles hotel and hear what the com mittee of notllicatlon appointed by the convention had to say. The Afternoon Confcrsnco. Mr. Bailey was an hour late In ar riving at the 43t. Charles and the con ference did not begin until 3 o'clock. Llt sidps Mr. Bulley, Mr. Buland and Mr. Robinson there were present the three candidates for assessor, James T. White, Charles Yoos and D. P. Battle, and E. F. Blewltt. chairman of the convention; Colonel F. J. Fltzslin mons. W. J. Liirke, John F. Kearney, Fred Warlike, M. J. Donahue. John J. Flanaghan and Conrad Lutz, members of the committee of notllicatlon; R. J. Beamish, M. F. Sandu, D. J. Campbell, and B. H. Megargee. Chairman Blewltt presided at the meeting and formally notified the can didates of the action of tho convention and of the circumstances under which the nominations had been made. He then called upon Mr. Bailey to express his sentiments with reference to the nomination tendered him. That gen tlemnn replied that he hntl not been a candidate for the nomination and hud repeatedly refused to allow his name to be used In connection with it. How ever, if the Democrats of the city thought he was the proper mnn to lead them in this light, perhaps he ought to accept, although his better Judgment and wishes prompted him not to do so. He concluded by saying thut he would accept the numinutlon. Hsmarks of Mr. Itoland. Mr. Boland was the next speaker and he spoke as follows: "So far as being relieved of runnlni? for city treasurer Is concerned, the words of my friend, Mr. Bailey, apply equully to myself. I had hoped that some other and more worthy citizen would be the choice or the convention. We did what we could to avoid the nominations so unanimously tendered us. The compliment accorded us by the convention Is so great that against our own desire, but at the solicitation of the Democracy and people of Scran ton. we accept the nominations. Kdmund Robinson also made a brief speech accepting the nomination. Following the speeches of accept ance, remarks were made by D. J. Campbell, M. J. Donahoe, Conrad Luts, John F. Kearney, it.

Before the meeting adjourned Mr. Bailey said that within a few days the candidates would ad dress a formal letter of acceptance to the committee. The city committee will be named by the chairman of the convention and candidates within a few days. VARIETY OF STORIES TOLD. Meetlag of the Moir Westpfahl-Davics Independents Surrounded by a Uazo of Mystery-Accounts of tho Principals Do Not Fit Together. FOLLOW POLITICAL DIS The dninas of the Molr-Fellows-Wlth ers faction' last night was as uncertain as spring weather. It had been an nounced that a conference wouia ne held and that the action taken would decide whether the Molr-Westpfuhl-Davlea ticket would go Into the field Independent of the regular Rlpple-WII-HamH-Wldmayer ticket. There was al so a possibility that a new Independent slate would be considered, In fact, the latter would have created the least sur prise as the Impression outside the In dependent leaders Is that Captain Moir will not be a candidate. - A decisive meeting was held and it was not held; Captain Moir said it was, and Mr. Westpfahl said It was not. Captain Moir told a Tribune re porter at 10 o'clock last night that a third party had told him (Captain Moir) that sixty persons attended the meet ing but that the decision reached would not Immediately be made public. The third party denied to a Tribune repor ter having given such information. These general facts Indicate the cloudi ness of the Independent political hori zon last night. Early in the evening several men who are figuring prominently in the in dependent movement declined to reveal the place of meeting. What Mr. W estpfahl Said At 10 o'clock Sir. Westpfahl was found on Wyoming avenue. He at first hesitated when asked to talk for pub lication or to answer the question so often addressed him regarding his de cision about becoming a candidate. Concerning the conference he finally said: "The meeting was held In Captain Moir's tailoring establishment. Mr. Davles was not present and conse quently no conclusion could be reached. In fact no formal business of any kind was transacted. Everything will be decided at a meeting to be held within a day or so, but when or where I cannot say." Captain Moir wag found about fifteen minutes later at the scene of the lire, on lower Lackawanna avenue. He said a meeting had been held but not at his place of business. He did not know what action had been taken but was positive that an Independent Republi can ticket would be nominated. Nom ination paoers, he said, had already been prepared. He .would not state whether he was to head the ticket. The Captain Is Circumspect. "If I answered that question I would be telling you whether I am to be the candidate. I cannot do that I must be circumspect." Further than this Cap tain Moir would not talk, excepting his statement that later In the night he expected to learn the result of the con ference. He then boarded an Adams avtvue car. which would take him within two blocks of his home on Mad ison avenue. Late last night It was announced that a meeting was actually held but where or by whom presided over would not be made known. -All of the candidates were not present but a petition was presented asking them to become candidates.- Moir, Westpfahl and Davles are to have a meeting this afternoon and tonight are to give their final an swer to men representing those who attended last nlgtits meeting.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE. ft'niler this heading short letters of In terest will be published when accompa nied, for publication, by the writer's name. The Tribune will not be held re sponsible for opinions here expressed. PATRONIZE HOME LABOR. Editor of The Tribune. Sir: With reference to the prrsmt agi tation now going on with tho building trades of Scranton I would desire to throw a little more light unon the subject. I don't think the public generally are aware of the present deplorable statu of affairs. One of the greatest evils we have to con tend with is the large amount of work which is sent out of the city, while we have plenty of good mechanics here walk ing the streets, who could do the work as cheaply anil as well from a mechanical point of view, at It can be done in any part of the I'nlon. I have a score of buildings In view (some constructed and some In course of con struction) where there are from two to eight rooms finished In hitrd wood. All these rooms call for a superior class of workmanship. Now In view of the fact that we have In Scranton, mills and shops where they employ mechanics inferior to none In tho country, the query is sug gested why these name mills uml shops are not worked to one-third of their ca pacity. In the fuce of this fact the con tractor will let the whole of this work to some out-of-town (Inn, which agrees to do the work a few dollars cheaper and who will sent) their men here to do the work, while the home mechanic is walk ing around whistling for a Job. I have known Instances where the men sent here have been paid double the rate of wages paiil the carpenters of Scranton. At the same time I know of Instances where the Scranton carpenter has had to finish their work after them, they not being compe tent to do the work. Bear in mind, these men are transients anil the money paid them goes out of town, the home mer chant deriving no benefit therefrom. There are other instances again where these men are paid loss wages than those paid In Scranton. They also work ten hours per day and when their work Is done they arc left here In Scranton to compete with the already crowded home mechanic. All the people who own these houses are residents of this city, have gained their money here In 8cranton and I think it would be nothing but fair thut they should see to It that the people upon whose cus tom they have always depended to gain their riches should be first considered when they have a house to build or any other work to be done that could be done by a home workman. They could have it Inserted In their contracts that nothing but home union labor be employed and I can assure them it will not t-ost then one penny more on the original bid, at the same time they will be giving the people of Scranton some return for the help rendered them In their business. The contractor doesn't alwuys win by It. either. I have In view one of the larg est buildings In the city. The Interior fin ish being all hard wood, the milling and preparing of this finish was let to a Wllllamsport firm, they being about $9U0 less than the bid of the lowest home firm. Their contract called for the furnishing of the whole of the interior finish. But what Is the sequel? The contractor had to pay to home mills something In the neighbor hood of &,r.tifl to $1,000 for work that should have been furnished by the WIlliBmsport llrm, thus making him pay $2,500 more for the work than If hn had let the whole to a home lirm. This Is only one Instance, I could quote several others. When you are dealing with a home firm you knew who you are dealing with and you have some hold upon It. But you may take It for granted that the out-of-town tirm is going to beat you every time if It can, There Is a house being constructed In Scranton at the present time, the owner or which is one or tne most successtui merchants In the city: yet because the bid of the home llrm was a paltry $25 more thun the out-or-town nrm. tne oui-or-town man got the contract. You may ask what are we going to tlo about all tnis. 1 can only answer that we will do everything we can in a honorable and just way to prevent it going on In the future. Time will tell if we are successful or not. This Is not a carpenters' complaint alone. The same state of aafflrs exists with all the other trades unions In the city. Then again, while we have as fine sash, door and blind plants in ru-ranton as exist in the country, yet 95 per cent. of the sash, doors, and blinds used in Scranton are the products or out-or-town manufactories, while the Scranton mills are working about 20 per cent, of their ca pacity. We know we could not manufac ture it all, but in the name of Justice and fair play, let us do what we can. I would again say that you must not think that the out-of-town products are the best. Don't run away with the Idea thjat because they come from Boston, New York, Philadelphia or Binghamton they are any better than the Scyanton product, for I. c an assure you, and I think that I am In a position to know of what I speak, that the Scranton building products can not he beaten on the whole continent. I would say that any Information relative to the foregoing will be cheerfully fur nished by the Building Trades Council of Scranton or the Carpenters' union. Again, the architect sometimes inserts In the specifications that certain parts of the finish will be furnished by the owner (mantles, for instance). Now there Is no earthly reason why they should not be furnished by the orignal contractor, and be included in the original contract. I have always noticed that It was some spe cial firm furnished them, and on examina tion found that we could turn out a supe rior article at a considerable less cost right here at home. Why this Is so, can only be surmised. We know well that the contractors' path Is not all sunshine and that he has a great deal to contend with; but we think that If we could be drawn a little nearer together and use a little co-operation, we could considerably remedy the present existing i vlls. All we ask Is ralr play and Justice. Be sure we Will not make any exorbitant demands on our employers, but are will ing to have everything treated fairly and squarely. J'hHlp J. 1 nomas.
