Is ccntering on the third committeeman.
AS already published. Mr. Carter has an
nounced that the appointment will not
be made until after New Years
1he generally expressed hope IS, how
ever. that the selection will be made at
an early date, and it is highly possible
that Mr.. Carter will make the appointment
| during the wearisome interval OF the
holidays.

delegates. as announced in tie call Is cali

ton was changed before being adopted

asub-secretary of the convention.
NO REFORM INSTITUTED.
The more radical Republicans who called
for primaries, and primaries only say they
can see no advancement toward rcgenera-
ton IN the present arrangement. They point
o.S Giat out In THE open fields about the
polls. wherehl man's conscience may not

proud feeling that they We're once aga in

Yet the minute the convention door is
reached. they say. virtue will be lifted from
the anatomy OF almost every individual.
like straw stack on the fender of a cyclone.
and they will take seats in the hall with

early life of the pioneer man.
WORK FOR RESULTS.
''Since it has become known that Mr.
Carter will not change the CALL" said a
well-kDown Republican. Significantly, ..then
people must begin to work for convention
results. 1t is useless to spend time or
money on the primaries. The convention is
the place TO concentrate interest,"
In fact. 1t is freely stated among many
that If money is to be used at all II will
t., be done % ID the convention. Nobody is more
men In whose backwards the Presidential
bees are hunting nests. Their agents have
already been sounding the local situation
and the best efforts Of each aspiraDt will
be put forth in a heroic manner.
Again this point brings up the third COM
mitteeman and ho W his Presidential wealth
ervaDe points. Mr.. Glecson is ayoWedIy for
the big man from Maine. Col Carson's DO
sitiOn is not so clear, but il is hipied
that he is for either Allison or Harrison
and in case the lucky star is too far be-
hind time in locating above them then
for "any old man." save Nick iniey and
Reed.
1t Is stated that when the national COM
nittee was in session parfy or OhIoans ap-
peared before Mr.. Carterand requested that
knowing the standing OF Messrs. G}eeson
and Carson on the executive question. he
appoint for the third committeeman an
avowed Mckinley disciple.
There is the other side OF the primary
question. however. and many Republicans.
and good ones. too. sa they don't give rap
about the convention following the pri-
nlaries. Mr.. GleesOn saws that. as he stated
in his proposition. 1t was means OF sa wing
expenses to abrtdge the matter at the nri-
maries. but sin ce the convention has been
ordained to follow. he is ready for 1t.
Work is going on everywhere amonG'h high
