COMMITTEE MEETING.
Unity and Harmony the Chief Characteristics
ofthe Meeting.

One of the most harmonious and success
full political meetings held in this county
for several years, at least, WAS the meeting
of the Republican central committee yes
terday to designate the time and place to
hold conventions for the election of dele
gates to the state and congressional con-
ventions. The turnout was so large that
the county attorneys Office was not near
large enough to contain them and an ad-
iournment WAS taken TO the large room in
the basement of the bailding where the
county teachers association hold their
meetings.
County Attorney Morris, the chairman,
presided while A j. Wyatt acted as secry-
taIy in the absence of Will Hazen.
Or motion of j. W. Adams Ben Down
ing was appointed to act as committeeman
from the Second ward instead OF John
Hume, and :. A. Stempson was author
lied to act instead of D. G. Harper.
The first important move made was the
motion of Otto Eckstein TO rescind the
former action Of the committee and in the
consideration of this motion the most
complete harmony was manifested, for the
motion prevailed without dissenting
voice
c. V. Ferguson moved that May 10 be
set as the date for the election OF delegates
| to the state convention at Topeka, the
! congressional convention at kingman. the
/ congressional convention to elect dele
! gate to the national convention at Mime
apolis. at Kinsley, and to the Kingman
| convention to nominate a congress
man-at-large. The motion was put
andEt carried without dissenting voice.
Afterwards T. B. Jewett asked permission
| to make a remark on the subject. lie
| stated that as the farmers would have no
! opportunity to be notified in time rs to
| the object OF the convention Though the
/ papers, it would be well for some one to
make motion that the date be fixed the
90 instead of the 10. The suggestion was
acted on and the former vote being recon
sidered Saturday, March 26' was the
date selected for the convention TO nom
mate delegates to the various conventions
above mentioned. The primaries are tc
be held in the country from To q p. M. on
Thursday March 81 and in the city between
and D. m on the same day. June p
was the date selected for the county con-
vention although Pat Mcdonald thought
il would be better to have it later IN the
fall
The convention to nominate candi
dates for representative of the Sixty-nintf
district and commissioner for the Tbirf
district was set for June "a, at Schiller
hall. in West Wichita, while the conYen
tions to nominate representatives for th'
