THE STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE
Mr Stoddard, OF Worcester moved that the Presi-
dent 0! the Convention appoint one member from each
Congressional district on the State Central Committee
and that the delegates from each Senatorial district
present the name OF one member
Mr. Colby OF Salisbury. opposed that portion Of tho
motion requiring the President to appoint one member
OF the State Central Committee from each Congress
sional district and SAID that this course which was
rs adopted last year, had given great dissatisfaction
Mr. Goodwin OF Lowell, also opposed the appointing
OF the meInbers OF the committee by the President OF
the Convention, and believed il was not wise policy to
do
Mr. Faxon OF Quincy wished that some new method
might be devised or ciec,ing new State Central Com
mttee, AID moved, as substitute, that the appoint
ment OF members OF the State Central Committee by
the Senatorial districts be referred 10 the Senatorial
conventions and elected by them.

Mr. Stoddard's motion that the President appoint ten
members Of the state Central Committee, was
adopted bv nearly unanimous vote
The question then recurred on Mr.. FaxOn's substi-
tute, which was opposed by Mr.. A. w. Beard OF Bos-
ton, as the delay OF appointing members OF the state
Central Committee would be very damaging TO the in
tercs's OF the republican party, for II their appoint
ment was postponed until the Senatorial Convention,
there would be but little lime tor work
Mr. A. Smons. OF Boston. said that, II the motion of
Mr. Faxor prevailed, IL would practically place Massa-
chusetts behLd other States or the Union. He hoped
for rousing republican majority IN this state IN
November, and that the state Central Committee would
be formed here and now, and that we should go out
into the campaign with no uncertain sound
Mr. Faxon said the objections raised were only bug
bear thrown in by the preceding gentleman. He hoped
for live state Central Committee o. vigorous working
men, such he claimed would be selected If the seec-
tlons referred to the Senatorial conventions.
Mr. Jenncsson, of Edgarton, stated that his dis
trct the Senatorial Convention was not called I'LL the
18th of October, and would be absurd to expect
effective work from the State Central Committee IL 1t
was not organized I'll after that tmc
b. b. Johnson OF Waliham, indorsed the remarks OF
Mr. Beard, and vote being taken on Mr.. Faxons sub.
sti.ute the same was rejected by large majority.
