Boyce Morgan, whose stories have long been enjoyed by our readers. Mr. Morgan was telling the editor that some of his young friends, who are interested in writing, are always asking him questions about the stories he writes.

Feeling that many readers of this page have ambitions to write stories themselves, the editor asked Mr. Morgan if he wouldn't write an article for us, giving us some hints on story writing. Mr. Morgan gladly consented to do, this, and next week his article, entitled "Some Advice to Young Writers," will be published here. If you like Mr.

Morgan's stories, be sure to read what he says about writing them!

CANNOT AGREE From Page One candidates for the twenty-one-year term on the State's highest appellate bench as there are for Governor. Former State Treasurer Samuel S. Lewis, who was in Philadelphia several days prior to the gathering of other, leaders there Saturday, met Senator Grundy and W. L. Mellon, former State chairman, before the general conference was; held.

At this latter meeting Governor Fisher, who came east from his home in Indiana, State Chairman Edward Martin and A. Boyd Hamilton, assistant to the State chairman. Vare Stumbling Block The fly in the ointment is liam S. Vare, who before leaving for Florida Saturday reiterated that he is a candidate against Grundy for the Senate seat. The leaders do not take him seriously, believing that his physical condition will not permit a campaign, and that his insistence upon running is merely a move to force the slating of Francis Shunk Brown for Governor.

Aggressive Candidates Governor Fisher, after the con- ference, mentioned as aggressive candidates Secretary of Labor James J. Davis, who does not seem popular with any of the tion leaders, and Samuel S. Lewis, who is said to be acceptable to Grundy if not the Governor. The Executive also mentioned as potential candidates Brown and Benson E. Taylor, Secretary of erty and Supplies, who has a large following but who is for Lewis.

Until Vare ceases to be a menace to the rest of the organization, it is said there can be no completion of the State ticket. Vare cannot hold his old organization in Philadelphia as a unit it is also said, form any of the district leaders, believing that Vare would lose in a State-wide contest, are with Grundy and would be for the gubernatorial candidate Grundy favors. There is some sentiment among the leaders to cut loose from Vare entirely, but it is feared that Davis might join hands with Vare a and thus cause a situation similar to that in 1926. The organization is looking for a ticket that can be put over without any great expense, for it desires to send Grundy, to Washington without any milliondollar expense account sticking out of his pocket.

Then, when your inventory shows you that you are a little weak on certain points, plan to strengthen those points during 1930. This is a good way to make some "resolutions" that amount to something.
