By Popular Vote.
Hurrah? The Republicans of
Pennsylvania will elect national
delegates by popular vote, that is
the district delegates at large will
be voted for at the primaries next
April. This will give the widest
latitude for every person in the
state to indicate their preference
for the presidential nomination,
i for the delegates si) elected will
j carry out the wishes of the ma
jority of the voters. It is a long
step toward government of the
! people by the people. The Repub
lican National Committee at a
| meeting in Washington decided to
'adop) the presidential preference
idea—Towanda Review.
Stockholders Meeting.
The annual meeting of the stock
holders of the First National Bank
|of Laporte, for the election of
directors and the transaction of
such other business as may come
before it, will be held at the olliee
