The in' terest and enthusiasm of the party ir the coming fight WAS shown in the fact that the attendance at the central com. mittee meeting was the largest since the organization of the party in the county. Of the thirty-four mem bers only sixteen were absent and some of them were represented by proxy.
 All the preliminaries of the contest were arranged and the committee trans acted all the business on hand up to date. What was done was done har- moniously, not with apathetic assent, but with hearty concurrence. There was of course healthy difference of in- dividual opinion concerning the best way of doing it, but these differences were all settled in animated discussions ot the various mooted points, and there was no division in voting. The date of the county convention was fixed on Septem Der 4th, and the time for holding the primaries August 2.

 It was also recommended that the committee adjourn until July 2s.
 A motion to adopt the report was amended by proposition to consider it by sections.
 R. A. Lewis offered substitute to the section providing for the filling of vacancies in the committee by providing for the election of the b-committee by the central committees. This was amended by MT. Van Horn providing that all existing vacancies should be filled directly by the central committee and that subsequent vacancies or new mem bers be supplied by committee of three. This amendment carried.
 Judge Kibbey moved a reconsidera- tion of that part of the report declaring Gila Bend precinct vacant by the resig- nation of J. c. Rowley. It was shown that MT. Rowley's resignation was con- tingent upon the appointment of suc- cessor. His proxy was found in the hands of Lincoln Fowler, who was ad- mitted to the meeting.
 On the motion of c. W. Johnstone. Isaacs precinct was included in that section of the report recommending the formation of new precincts.
 At this point Judge Kibbey moved that the committee now adjourn until July IA, when it should complete the filling of vacancies and determine the time, manner and place of holding the convention and primaries. After pro- longed discussion the motion was laid on the table and the section of the report recommending an adjournment to July 2S was rejected.
