Yesterday there was I'M absurd rumor clrcu-
lated about town that Shelby H. Cnlfon hal
Withdrawn from tho head Of the Republican
State ticket OIL account Of certain cl,nrges MnlD
against ilttn by Ills enemies. The story further
n!lcges that the State COMMITTEES WIS to hold Il
spccial ccsaton ct Springfield In u few days,
when so,,a other man would ho nominated for
Governor. II Is needless to say that the report
Is downright, deliberate lie, started by Demo-
cr,lts to attain certain ends. Nobody about Re-
publican headquarters gave the least credit to
the rusllor, though d stusatlona, evening paper
