bel law enacted by the recent legisla
ture. ' - ' '
Senator Quay declined to accept re
election as chairman of the state com
mittee, and his colleague, Senator Pen
rose, was chosen bis successor.
The convention was remarkable for
the unanimity with which it disposed
of its business, and the lack of contest
for the four places on the state ticket.
The convention was held much earlier
than usual In oft years on account of
the desire of Senator Quay and other
party leaders to be away during the

convention, and his interests were In
charge ot Senator Penrose and other
lieutenants.
