With an this business before it the
Convention Is q very important one, and
the date OF holding 10 is likewise a mat
ter of importance. Chairman Hadlich.
of the County Committee, was seen yes
terday in reference to the matter, and
iu response tO an interrogatOry, he said:
Ell intend Co call q meeting of the
committee no am early day, So that we
may ill the vacancies and get into good
working shape. My opinion about the
time Of holding the convention is that
I the latter part Of July or early part Of
August would be sufficiently early,
because can see no advan-
tage at this time In holding
. DC at am earlier time. In fact, l think
there are several things against it. the
most prominent of which, perhaps, is
the long campaign 30 viii give us. The
Convention four years ago was held ON
August 23d. and that didn't appear TO
be amy too late. Ifthe Convention is 20
have thc naming Of the delegates TO the
Congressional Convention they will want
to know when the latter Convention is
to 0e held, and imagine that the ac-
ton o. the Congressional Committee in
chat respect may have some bearing ON
the action OF the County Committee.
County Clerk Hook was decidedly In
favor 0f au early convention. having a
preference FOR the primaries being held
ON june 2sth, and the convention ON the
following Monday. He thought it
would Doe best for an the individuals
concerned. as well as for the interest of
the party, 20 have the thing settled at
am early date Circuit Clerk Mitchell
concurrcd in these views, and thought
the County Executive Committee would
DO well Co call the convention early, as
There was nothing 20 be gained by de-
laying the matter 90 the fag end of sum-
mer
Mr. John C0rc0ran, candidate for the
nomination Tor County Clerk was seen
about the matter and he said:
"Last years convention, l believe,
was held some time in August. and as
far as I am concerned the same date this
year. or any one near it. would be pref
cradle to an early convention, as see
mo- use for making the day earlier than
some time in August. That would give
us all plenty of time.
County Commissioner Frank Cruise
said the time of the Convention would
Doe largely governed by the CongresSion-
al Committees action. as 30 was likely
the delegates would be- selected at the
same time us the county delegates We're
selected. so far as he had heard there
was uo merry decided preference for
either au early or late Convention
As FAR as the selection of delegates %
the Congressional Convention is con-
cerued, they might be named as they
were last year. at q specially called
meeting for that purpose and the NAM

The avowcd candidates for the Coun-
ty Clcrksbip are Nessrs. Hook aud Cor

with ans one else for the nomination.
Clerk Mitchell seems Co have no oppoSi-
don. although 30 was rumored that Mr..
Harry Godfrey would shy his castor
into the ring. hut he has gone Co Pitts
burg and given up the idea of the Clerk

candidates for the other positions there
