PROPOSED CALL FOR A NEW CENTRAL REPUBLICAN,
COMMITTEE.

PROPOSED CALL FOR A NEW CENTRAL REPUBLICAN
COMMITTEE.
To the Editor Of THE EVENING STAR:
The meeting OF the alleged central republi-
can committee that was called to reorganize last
evening was one OF the most dsgraceful gatherings
ever witnessed In this city, and unless something
is done to prevent such scenes the national CON-
mittee should deprive the District OF representa-
ton In national conventions l claim, with those
delegates who were justly elected and unjustly
thrown out Of the committee, that out Of sixty
six delegates and sixty-six alternates there We're
not fifteen white republicans. Why? Because,
when the primary meetings were held they were
so packed that 1t made 1t impossible for them to
participate. II Is proposed by the people in
the twenty-five districts to issue a Call
for a new central committee which Will be repre-
sentative in It's character and which will allow
all republicans TO give free expression OF their
opinions and order Il registration Of voters IN the
several districts to elect delegates TO convention,
and said delegates to elect two delegates to the
Chicago convention. AS 1t is now no decent re-
publican is permitted TO take part In meetings
under the present system OF operation.
Very respectfully, W. CALVIN CHASE,
Prest. Ninth Dist. Republican Club.
