Meeting Of the County Committee.

A majority Of the members Of the Re
publican County Committee put in an ap- |
pearance in Huselton Hall, Monday after
noon, and these with the candidates and
other spectators filed every chair in the
Hall.
DR.. Leighner was on the sick list and |
DIR. VIM. Irvine of Evans City was called
upon to preside; W. Hutchison and DR..

On motion, Saturday, April 2Sth. be-
tween the hours OF and pm. was fixed
upon as the date and time for our next
primary election
Mr.. 8. Frankie Of Millerstown offered
series of resolutions which were read by
the Secretary; then Mr.. Starr of Petrolia
moved that Committee on Resolutions
be selected and that these resolutions be
referred TO them. This was agreed to, and
the Chairman appointed Messrs Galbreath,
Davidson and Frankie committee on res
olutions and they retired, but returned
shortly recommending that the resolutions
be adopted as read and this was agreed to.
Mr.. Galbreath then spoke for DIR. Leigh
ner by request, hoping that the Republi-
cans of this county would make good
showing at the next election, Feb. Goth, as
it was an unusually important one for
Spring election; saying that the executive
committees of last Fall should continue on
duty for it, and endeavor to get out the
full vote.
J. NJ. Mccullough Of Fairview inquired if
new watchers" were needed for this cleo
ion, and was informed that they are, as
the certificates for the election of last Fall
expired with it,
Mr.. ]. N. Moore then moved that the
Committeeman present indicate any
changes wanted or vacancies to be filled
as watchers so that the County Chair
man could hand q complete list to the
County Commissioners for the issuing Of
new certificates and this was agreed TO-,
and acted upon.
Mr.. Kiskaddon then moved that Mr..
Galbreath be requested to explain the or
ganization of the Lincoln League to the
Committee. This was agreed to and Mr..
Galbreath said that the League was not a
local organization, that it takes in the
whole county, that any Republican in the
county can join it on his own terms, that
the organization is founded on Republican
principles; has already done good work in
Butler, etc.
Mr.. Starr of Petrolia asked if candidates
could be appointed as watchers; and the
general sense of the convention was that
they could, that there was nothing in the
law to prevent 1t, and that any qualified
eIector could be watcher. 1t was alsC
stated that any member of the election
board could help fill out ticket il request
ed to do so.
Charley Kerr, the irepressible patriot o
Cherry twp, put in an appearance ant
made several speeches on the Wilson bill
and the Committee adjourned.
The resolutions heartily endorse oui
fellow citizen DIR. Showalter for Secretary
of internal Affairs, and read as follows.

workers have prospered these many years
