liOSTON, Oct. 2.—Wellolled and
with all of its most important parts
running perfectly the Madsachusetts
Republican machinery was set In mo-
tion at Symphony Mail, this city, to-
day. when the annual convention to
nominate a state ticket and draw up
it party platform was called to order
by George ll. Duty. of Waitham, chair-
man of the Republican state commit
tee. ' Previous to the starting of the,
machinery. it was believed that only
one part of the mechanism and that
the most delicate. s plank in the party
platform. might retard its motion. All
of the present state executives from
governor to auditor. were to be re
nominated, and the only matter which
had not been setled up to the time of
calling the convention to order was
the platform plank relating to the In-
come tax proposition. ‘
At the convention on Thursday. the
Democratic party Incorporated in Its
platform a plank declaring that only
such candidates for public office should
be supportedawbo were pledged to a
ratification ot' the pro sod constitu.
tiousl emendmeut prov ding for the
Income tax. it was expected today that
John N. Cole. .of Andover. former
_ speaker of the Massachusetts House
of Representatives. would endeavor
on the convention liner. to present a
resolution endorsing the income tax
and placing thefconvcutlon on record
as favoring theproposed amendment.
It was generally understood that tlic

Under One Ruling They Were Enli-

elated Them Debtors
WASHINGTON, Oct. i.-Scatterod
throughout the United States and its
insular possessions are a number of
officers of the army who are said to be
talking Just now about the uriluclt)’
star under which they were born. it
all arises from asking the government
to send them longevity pay, which the
Supreme Court of ‘lhc United States
declared recently they were entitled
to, Back came the reply from Auditor
Harper for the War Department that
they were. in debt to the government.
and that on account of the condition
of the Treasury they should pay right
away, or words to that effect.
Upon receipt of the claims of these
oillcerii an examination was made of
their neounts. it was found that man)’
of them were In debt to the govern-
ment, according to another decision of
the Supreme Court, rendered In 1907.
by reason of over pay, amounting to
us much as 8400 In some Instances.
during the Spanlsernierit-un War. in
this decision it was held that minor oi-
ficers who filled the positions of super
lore who were absent from their com
mnnds to enroll recruits or to perform
other duty. were entitled to the pay oi
thc Superior officers, unless they were
assigned to organizations other than
their own. 0f the officers who applied
for longevity pay it was found that
about 120 were overpaid during the
war, and that many owed the govern
men! more than the government owed
thcin. They were so notified.
Except for the privilege of taking
an appeal to the conitroller of the
Treasury, the only satisfaction these
omrcrs are said to have received Is
that some iniglrly sad surprises await
other ofiiccrs of the army.
