THEY REBELLtD TOO LATE
A SUDDEN REVOLT AGAINST REPUBLICAN
MACHINE METHODS
The Silk Stocking Element Meets and Adopts
Resolutions Of Protest Against Assembly
4 Conventions and the Answer Is the Off
clai Call for the Sans

IN earnest. although the former are q plt
late in the day in shying their castor into
the ring. The following was unanimously
adopted at Republican club meeting held
on Friday night:
''Whereas, In the past it has been the
universal custom of the Republican party
of this state and elsewhere to hold county
conventions for the selection of delegates
to the congress district conventions, and,
whereas, it has been published in the lead
ing Republican papers of this city that the
committee for this congress district intends
to issue call for congress district con-
vention upon a plan to hold six separ-
ate assembly district conventions with
in this county, and hold no county
convention at which delegates from the
entire body of the county may together
consider the interests of the party; and,
whereas, we believe that the large majority
of the voters of the party on whose fran
chise the selection of the candidate de.
pends should have a voice in the selection
of their candidate, and that the innovation
of assembly district conventions, TO take
the place of a county conventions, tends to
confuse the average voter who is not pol
itician, and thus place power in the hands
of the politician to the detriment of the
rights and interests of the voting
strength OF the party; and, where
~, it ia certain that the best inter.
ests of the party and the liberty of choice
Of the individual voter will be best con-
served by holding the time-honored, we'll
understood and o!d-fashioned Republican
county convention: therefore, be it
'.Resolved, that the Republicans, in this
mass meeting assembled, hereby appoint

of the district for the selection of delegates

state convention. which shall select the

pointed report the result of its efforts TO
