trary appointments made by Bradner w.
Lee, chairman Of the executive commit
tee of that party In this county. A num-
Der of gentlemen who expected recogni-
ton at Mr.. Lees hands claim that he has
no right to hold the position as chairman
OF the committee under the rule adopted by
the recent county convention, which de-
bars state county and city Office holders
from participation or control in any Of the
party affairs, other than as a worker or
voter. Mr.. Lee is member Of the board
of state library trustees and Is therefore

that he resolution only referred to officers
drawing pay for their services and de-
cllnes to resign as chairman OF the Re-
publican county committee.

BY members of all three parties interested.
Fred Eaton is to be the Republican nom.
tnee for mayor on the Republican ticket
lie Is said to be backed by Billy Dunn. citv
attorney. The fact that Dunn urged
Eaton's appointment as arbitrator for the
city IN the water controversy lends color
TO the report that he desires his nominal
