County Treasurer d. W. Powell, who
is chairman of the Republican county
committee. said when seen by TRIB-
uNE reporter yesterday that the senti-
ment Of the members of the party
throughout the county is against an

latter part Of August would be time
enough to hold the nominating con-
vention.

week signed by members Of the county
committee asking him TO call that
body together to consider the question
OF fixing time for the convention. In
