Max Pepper, Chairman Of the Democratic State
Central Committee, Returns From the
South Notes and Comments

The committee appointed at the Palace
Hotel meeting few nights ago, to select 80
prominent citizens TO arrange for q nom
partisan convention, met yesterday after
noon 10 the office of William A. Beatty, at
SIS Pine street. Representatives were on
hand from all the various organizations in
tereSted and the time of meeting was de-
voted entirely TO an informal discussion of
the situation. No names have been selected
as yet, for the reason that sufficient time
has not yet elapsed TO consult with the
gentlemen whom IL is desired TO have serve.
The names of about $50 have been made
into a list. and from these the committee
will be selected. Before announcing them,
however, each will be consulted, in order TO
see il willing TO serve. In this way all
danger will be avoided of naming men who
may not care to serve, and ii will enable the
movement to start out without being en-
barrassed in any way in the beginning.
The subject OF an Independent ticket is
already attracting great deal of attention,
and but little else Is heard in politics Demo-
Gratis aud Republicans alike are watching it
with the 6eenest interest. and both of the
old organizations are fearful that il will
prove too strong for them at the polls. 1t
seems assured at any rate that If the In
deIeudents put up a ticket composed of
good men they will cut a wide swath in the
municipal campaign. The row in the ranks
Of the local Democracy combined with the
bitter feeling against Kelly and Crimmins
among the better class of Republicans
would attract to a clean and independent
ticket thousands OF good citizens who are
more loyal to good govern ment than to
party control
