Major Frank Mclaughlin, chairman of
the Republican State Executive Com
mittee, yesterday evening announced his
appointments of committees as given
above. This perfects the State campaign
machinery, which will start into vigorous
activity Immediately after the National
Convention.
The announcement had been awaited
with great interest by a great many party
men throughout the State, and the list of
names, as the head of the State campaign
operations had placed them, was scanned
with close analytical attention about the
hotel lobbies during the evening.
1t turned out that Mclaughlin had
achieved the result of satisfying nearly
every body. Sore spots could be seen red
dening of course, but they were little ones.
The majors job had not been one that
men would be apt to yearn for, bu t he ac-
complished it will skill and wisdom.
The chairman had used extreme care
and had repeatedly changed the makeup
of the committees during the ten days
which he had given for their considera-
ton. He considered first the fitness and
| availability of the men for the work and
then the probabilities of the membe of
each committee working together in har-
mony.
He also considered, of course, as far as
the best discretion permitted the indi-
vidual wishes of the respective members.
The consent of each man to serve on the
respective committees to which he was
appointed was secured, and 1t was not
until yesterday afternoon that the list was
finally decided upon.
The most noticeable thing about the list
as it stands is the fact that no chairman
ships and comp paratively few committee
places have been given to the representa-
tives of Southern California. This is
wholly due to the fact that it has been ar
ranged that an auxiliary committee, to
manage campaign details south of Te-
hachipI, has been arranged for.
The southern mem bers will create their
own corresponding committees with their
chairmen, all of which, however, will be
subject to the general control of the
whole executive committee. This ar
rangement suits well the southern men,
bers and will result in more effective,
more intelligently managed and more
satisfactory State campaign.
The committees, as they stand, are re-
garded by leading Republicans as strong
and able ones, with the right men in the
right places, and as further assurances
that the coming campaign will be in the
hands of clean, able and competent men
who Will put life and vigor into the cam
paign, and win a victory that will be
worthy of the party.
