to that hour Span-rler, who was benf
supported by the llarrlty wlm; of trio

amonvr the members of the oommitleo

H. Keeiian, of Westiiiori land county,
sui'gest. d that each member of the com

further business. Magistrate lionut lly
said It was fair to presume that all pres
ide In lavnr nf the candidates.
O'I.eary, of Pittsburg, said that
I'm
they were all Democrats or they would
not be here. Captain Keenan then
nominated James Kerr, of Clearlleld. for
temoorary chairman because he Is in
touch with the national cominiUee.
There were several speeches secondin;-;
tills nomination. John M. Carman, of
Luzerne, suggested, as he expected
Wujself to be madf permanent chair
man, Ihe committee mli'.ht as Well pro
ceed to a vote on the temporary organ
ization. The ballot wns uniuuiiii e,l as
follows: James A. Carr, 25; James
Kerr, 42.
Kerr's election as temporary chair
man was made unanimous. On Peine;
escorted to the chair, he said it was not
the proper time to make a speech. He
took the vote not aw a compliment to
himself, but us the best tiling for the
party.
At this point a motion was made to
accept the resignation of Robert ti.
Wright us chairman nnd lay upon tne
table his report as to the correspond
ence regarding withdrawals. Hut sub

Thomas Mlnehart. of Franklin county
moved that Mr. Kerr he elected perman

suggested that ithore were other candi
dates nnd this method might not he
satisfactory. The committee then 'pro
ceeded to nominate candidates for
chairman. Frank T. tlasser of Pittsburg
named Kerr, of Cleat-Held, V. C. Heinle,
of Centre, presented the name of Spang
