during Grant's mioistiaUon, the government established a military reservation in Oklahoma known as Fort Sill. The reservation comprised 121,000 acres of land. It has been used ever since it estdbllshed us a rifle range and proving ground Cor the army A few days before armistice was signed Secretary Baker issued an order abandoning the Fort Sill reservation and authorizing the purchase of a tract of land at Fort Bennings. Georgia, at a cost of approximately thirteen million? of dollars which was to be used in the future by the war department as a rifle range and a proving ground. This willful flirt unnecessary waste of the people's money is today the subject of congressional investigation and wfteft responsibility for this outrage is definitely fixed It should result in impeachment prosecu- X.

Designations today ought to be of men can keep up the usual standard of majorities in our county The county delegates were reminded that the towns should see that Republican supervisors be elected in Xoveniber; that the city had come to the rescue two years ago and elected a sutlicietit number to make the board Republican. The first business was the designation of a member of the state com- mittee from Ulster county.

I Harcourt J. Pratt of Lloyd named i i Kiting, i was seconded 1 by S3. A. Cross -of Rochester The secretary was instructed to cast a ballot for Mr Elling. which I earned and he was declared desig- nated amid loud applause.

Philip Elting was re-elected man the county committee and J.John Bckert secretary. Xext in ordei was the designating by districts members of the county committee to. represent the Jowns. There was but one contest, being in the Fifth in this city. Charles Lahl and William A.

Bilyou were each named and Lahl received two of the three votes, and was declared designated. Chairman Kiting staled that Congressman Charles B. Ward expected to be present and had sent, a letter regretting his inability to leave Washinglon, us he hxd looked forward to be present. He sent an dress which he intended to deliver. which he requested to be read before convention.

This was flone by Secretary Eckert. Tn less than one year from today great political parties of the country will havo made their nomin- 'aiions and the campaign for the will be under way. In 1915 Wood row Wilson was re-elecsed president of the United States on the camouflaged issue that "he kept us join of war." Democratic spellbin- iders i raveled from coast to coast jglorifyin? the peaceful and pacific proclivities of ihe infallible Woodrow Wilson and pointing out that of the Republican iCharles Eians Hughes, would plunge! lour beloved countrj into the great 'European conflict.

No restrictions of any kind were placed upon thir officer as to the amount of vinegar he should purchase. story, as 1 get it. is that this officer bouKht four million gallons of vinegar which are now stored in Prance. The issue in next year's campaign will be that of taxation and of Hdininistiation.
