When Temporary Chairman Herrick called the Republican stats convention to order there was a general anticipation of a warm session. Although the question of state executive chairmanship had been settled at Tuesday night's meeting of the new state coniral enmmit-1 tee, the anti-Dick forces were not entirely ready to admit detect, and a continuation of the contest on tha floor of the convention in some form was looked-for by delegates and spec tators. The action of the resolutions committee" at the night session was generally known, but it was unknown what form the expected surprise would take. The report of the committee on credentials was presented, developing a fight in Tuscarawas county, and an attempt was made to amend the committee's report by dividing the vote between the contestants. On rollcall the amendment carried and the report ys adopted. James Holcombe of Cuyahoga county-moved that "it be the sense of this convention that Senator Dick be requested to decline to act'as the chairman of the state executive committee, and that he co-operate with the state central oommittee in the selection of a chairman thereof to manage the pending state . campaign." Congressman Barton immediately took the platform and spoke briefly but vigorously In support of the motion. Mr. Burton-said: "Tuesday night, before the nomination of state officers, in violation, as I understand it, of every precedent in" every year, the 21 members of the Republican executive committee met and made a choice. Against rhat we protest. What we ask is that there be a vote here upon the floor of this convention. Shall Senator Dick be chairman of the Republican state executive committee or not?" If the vote is in the affirmative, I have to say that those who oppose It will acquiesce in that selection whatever our opinion may be as to the wisdom or unwisdom of it. We do that because we believe that tho majority should rule." Cries of the delegation for "Foraler" brought the -senator to the front of the platform, and by unanimous consent the senator addressed the convention briefly, declaring that he "knew of no reason why a man who was good enough to be chairman for, ""William McKinley," and who "is acknowledged to be one of the best chairmen ever known," should not be continued in that position. The conTention was in turmoil as he concluded, and the chairman had difficulty In securing order. Finally Harry M. Daugherty, associated with Burton in the anti-Dick contest, was recognized. He declared thre was "nothing personal in politics with me," and the convention was gain in a road of disorder. At last he said: "I am not here to pluck a feather from the honor of any man." lie declared himself ready to sign any agreement that he would never be a candidate for any eilcs. He recognized the superior qualities of the chairman, but he maintained that under existing conditions a change was advisable. What Dick Said. Congressman Robert M. Xevin followed in a strong "proter.t against the humiliation of a man who has serve-1 you so long an. so ably as Senator Dick.

DECIDES TO OIL NATIONAL AVE. Lets the Contract to Good Roads Improvement Company of Cincinnati. RESIDENTS TO PAY PART IF EXPERIMENT PROVES SUCCESSFUL MORE STREETS IN THE CITY WILL BE TREATED IN SAME MANNER. The board of public works at its meeting yesterday, contracted with the Good Roads Improvement Company of Cincinnati, for oil sufficient to cover 9,000 square yards of road way. The contract price per square yard was three cents, making a total purchase price of $270. The National Avenue from West Fifth street to the city limits, is to be covered with oil as an experiment. If it proves satisfactory more streets will be oiled. The ' residents along National avenue have petitioned the board to oil their thoroughfare and will pay $100 towards the expense of it. For this reason the experiment will only cost the city $170. The price made on the oil is unusually low, the company making it so, in order that the city might give the oil a trial. The company is to furnish the sprinklers with which to wet the street and they will send men here for that purpose. All the city must do is to prepare the street by cleaning it. The wefrk is to be .done as soon as possible. The board approved the assessment roles for the cost of the improvement of the north side of Main street, between 12th and 21st streets by the construction of cement sidewalks, and for the construction of an alley between Randolph and Lincoln and West Fourth and Fifth streetts. The contract of the construction of a cement sidewalk on the west side of South Sth street from Main to A street was awarded to Daniel Burkhart for 11 cents per foot. Burkhart was awarded the contract for the construction of a cement roadway in the alley between South Sth and 7th streets from Main to A streets at 15 cents per square foot. MRS.
