The flrst thtng tnken tp by the Reform
Press assocatton when IL reconvened , waa
the election of olflcers. Abe Stonborger
made an efTort to have all the o11 otflcerB
OIflflhIUIIFCd ) through by just one bnIIot. Bc
said the afisoclatlon ha.1 IaSSCd through a
atormy time during 1110 year , and that a
rival prcs aBsoclation , which the anti-
tu1onist call the flozelio eRsociation. bad
practically ccae.1 . to be populist , and ho
gave the o1t officers the credit for wiao
steering.
Obkctloiis came from James II. Ferris of
the Jollet , lii. . News , W. 0. Atkeson of the
liutier , Mo. , F'ree I'rcss , soil others. They
feared that to omnibus all the old offiiors
through in this way might estnijilsh a had
precctent , tiough there was nothing that
CoUld be 3n1(1 ( personnhly against them. A.
C. Wicka of the \Vinterset , In. , Sentinel ,
vho had aecornleil Mr. Steinberger's motion ,
nct \ % ' . S. ! organ of the Louisville. KY. ,
Buzz Saw , % vcre In favor of the omnibus
Letito , 1)Ccause ot the peculiar circumstances -
stances attenling the asoiatIon at the
present time. Other objections foIlovcd
from N , II. Motsinger , of ( ho
Shoals , md. , Referenilum , and W.
I. Iflake , of the Clareiftion , Tox. ,
InustrlaiVcst. . Mr. lilake said there was
one thing In particular and that was that no
fuslonist would be re-elected to omco in the
association , " Mr. Ferriss named Jo A.
Parker f the Louisville , Ky. , Free Republl ,
the present recording secretary , as his choice
for president. Either Parker , Steinberger ,
Morgan or Patti J. Dixon of the Chililcothe ,
Mo , , World , he thought , would make a goo1
jresiient for the association. Seeing so
many objections , Mr. Steinberger withdrew
his motion ,
; : .piiiI tiiit IlIIM Caine I'lLMt 1ioig1i.
Ex-President Paul Vanderroort then
formally nominated Colonel Frank Burkitt
of the Okolona , Miss. , l'eople's Messenger for
re.ek'ction nnti Mr. Ferriss renewed his
nomination of Mr. Parker. Mr. Ferriss believed -
lieved the apsoelatlon should stick to its
POlICY of changing Its president every year.
Among the numerous econda for Colonel
t3urkltt.V. . F. linughawout of the Carthage ,
Alo. , Iabor's Tribune struck a parallel between -
tween the lIght upon Colonel lurkitt and
the inovenient to change the president of
the United States In 1861. "If they
had then changed the presIdent of our country -
try vhero would our ziutloii have been ? " lie
asked. So tar as Mr. Parker was concerned
lilr. Ilaugliawaut would be PleaSed to see him
noininateil for president of the United States ,
but If the Itetoriii l'ress association wanted
to stay clear of the breakers it wonld have
to draw its support iiiostly front the south.
"l.ook at your nortlivestern state3 , " said
Zdr , Ilnughawout , "their populist IapCrS have
all gone over to the deniocracy , " N. II.
Motsiriger then nonilnated Paul J. Dixon ,
whom Mr. Butler ot Dixon's state seconded
In the 1101)0 of ' 'getUng Missouri out of the
slough of fusion In which if is flounderIng. "
dr , Parker's name was withdrawn by Mr.
I'erriss in favor of Mr. Dixon after Mr. Atkc-
son's sPeech ! and some observations In ( lie
same tenor regarhlng Missouri's conditIon
\vero made by Mr. Ihoughawnut , who hail
hitherto been a warm supporter of Colonel
Burkitt. A vote was taken after considora-
i ble discussion , If. F. Jones of the Comanche ,
f 'Fox. , Pioneer lxponent , and Mr. Ferriss
svere made ( hO tellers. Colonel Burkitt was
4 easIly re-elected , receiving twenty-sIx votes ,
. while Mr. Dixon got only seven.

A Great Clothing House. .
'
. -The Greatest in the Entire West-
.
ne great reason why we excel in Clothing bargains is that we are
Clothiers-nothing else. Clothing is our business , our only bus-
. il-less , our constant study morning , noon and night. Thjs great
big store of ours is filled to the roof with nothing but clothing-
Suits , Overcoats , Underwear , Shirts , Shoes , llats-any sort of
clothing that a man or boy wears , . Our buyers naturally get the
best clothing bargains because they buy nothing but clothing\ , , , .
they have no ribbons or harnesses or soaps on their minds , That's !
the theory of it. If you want to see how true it is in practice
come in today nd see the great suits we are offering at 5.00 , 7,50
. 10.00 and 11.50 a suit. Nowhere-no not any place-in this
broad land can your money go as far in buying clothing as it can
right here. V/e ask you to put this strong statenent to any test
you choose. We give you time enough to do so. What wc
sell today we are ready to buy back tomorrow , or next week : yes
or any other time that you find you could have done better'
elsewhere. Not every store would dare to put a statement 1ikc----
that in print.
