,ratic central committee was called to
order at Democratic headquarters by
Chairman Crist at 9 o'clock this after
noon. In an adjoining room there as
sembled at the same time some fifty or
more Democratic statesmen from all parts
Of the territory, most all of whom are in
search Of Office and who made it conyen-
lent to be on hand to-day to see that
nobody put up any Jobs on anybody"
or words to that effect The committee
meeting proper was held with closed
doors, but it is said nothing of public
note was transacted, the principal work
consisting of auditing accounts and pas
sing around the hat in order to raise
Doodle with which to make the final pay
ment of campaign expenses.
One of the objects of this meeting is to
confer with Delegate Joseph on the state
hood question, it is said. Mr.. Joseph will
arrive tonight over the narrow gauge
and, it is claimed, that he willconsult with
the visitors and try and agree upon some
definite plan of action. Mr.. Joseph, 1t is
understood, wants to try and push the
statehood bill through at this session OF
congress, but many of the spoils hunters
are "forninst" this and want to secure the
territorial offices at all hazards. The
object of the conference, therefore, Is to
try and harmonic things.
