An effort is now being made that ought
to succeed, to change the time of hold
ing the Republican Senatorial conven-
ton. There is no special hurry about
this thing. 1t could be postponed for a
month without spelling. The fact that
the State convention is called for July
18th, and the Senatorial convention for
July oath, makes one interfere with the I
other. The proximity Of these dates will
result in more or less friction
and conflict of interest. Let the Senate |
rial convention go over to August. There
is plenty Of time after that for canvass.
