The foregoing are the official proceedings of
your Executive Committee at its last session.
Certain persons who conceal their names from
the public have issued a bogus circular de-
assuming authority to call primaries on the
nth March, in spite Of the action of the Com
mittee.
AS President OF the COMMITTEES, I consider it
nv duty to warn all good Republicans against
this attempt to divide our party. Pay 10 at
terfion to these selfcopstituted leaders. Stay
away from their so-caleG primaries
on the oath of this month your Executive
Committee Of eighiy-one members to whom
Won have committed the control and welfare
of the party will meet in convention and act
for the best interests Of our party,

Every Republican who is over twenty-one is

Voters in every voting precinct are advised
TO select suitable aud convenient PLACE to hold
thE Rlsellola:
ing primaries and in according to every Re-
publican voter the sacred right to chose his
representatives, has acted wisely. Every good
