who were looking for something were al
ways on hand. Among the club members

session last evening and considered plans
for bringing opposing party elements to-
gether in the selection of delegates to the
Republican convention. The attitude OF
the Central League to the clubs was DIS
cussed and a committee was appointed TO
see what could be done to secure the CO.
operation of the league in the coming pri-
mary fight. Another meeting of the com
mittee will be held Monday evening. Six
clubs were represented last night.
The twenty-three organizations COM

voters They were invited two weeks ago
to send representatives to conference

officers did not receive the courtesy Of

the precincts. The Buckley followers are
now suspicious that Gallagher intends TO

each precinct such roll of precinct vot-

| mitted TO the club for ratification.
