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. J. neamisn, i oi
onel Fltzslmmons, D. P. Battle. A. F.
Duffv and others. 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.
