Theodore Ennis Announces
Those Who Are to At
tend State League
Convention.
THAT ENnnReEMENT EInHT
THAT ENDORSEMENT FIGHT
Strong Effort to Be Made to
Qualify Candidates Pre-
vious to Convention.

League of Republican Clubs promises to
furnish some fun for time unless the
leaders succeed in killing off the prear-
ranged plans of certain number who
have signified their intention of making
things lively. The constitution Of the
League at present prevents thesendorse-
ment of any candidates previous to con-
vehtions. While this has been in force
there has been some degree Of harmony
between the League and the organization
leaders, but there are some dissatisfied
ones who propose to spring an amend
| ment to the constitution in the conven-
| ton. They want the defect remedied,
they say, and if their efforts are crowned
with success, dissensen will follow in
| the ranks of the party.
The leaders contend that the state
League would then be used by certain
men for the foisting of their booms on the
public. This the leaders do not want
They want no friction and If possible the
death of this proposed amendment will
be assured before the county delegations
| finish their caucuses.
| prominent Republican this morning
/ said that the amendment must not be
passed or there would certainly be trou-
BILE and this the leaders wish to avert If
possible. Hudson's delegates will be In
structed to vote against it at the caucus.
This matter has been discussed at the
| sessions of the Executive Committee Of
| the State League several times, and there
| was always a wide difference of opinion
i'll the matter. Judging from the remarks
of certain delegates the amendment will
| cause a lively discussion and will prob
ably be the only fight of the convention.

over the convention programme. The
Hudson delegation will have several reso-
lutions to offer. These are being pre-
pared and will be submitted to the caucus

eral important papers on the condition Of
| the party today will be read and also
papers discussing the record of the pres

! the rule only one representative is al

tees to eight members. This also applies
to vice presidents.
