The only contest of the meeting
came up on the question of main
tanning permanent headquarters,
and the further question of requir-
ing applicants for federal positions
to secure the Endorsement of the
local organization before asking for
the Endorsement of the state COM
mittee. E. L. Morse, of Excelsior
Springs, lead the contest against
the proposition to maintain per-
manent headquarters of the party.
He argued that the committee could
do nothing for the next three years
but keep the headquarters open
at an expense, and would not ac-
complish as much good as they
would by adjourning and going to
work in their respective communi-
ties. He was supported by sew
eral members of the committee but
ii was soon disclosed that the SEN
timent OF a majority of the COM
mittee was against his contention.
The fight was dropped. 1t was de-
cided, after thorough discussion,
that the headquarters should be
maintained at the Lindell Hotel
until after the adjournment of the
coming session of the Legislature
or until another meeting of the
committee is held in May, 1901.
The majority of the members OF
the committee expressed them
selves in favor of keeping the
headquarters Of the party in work.
lle condition until the next state
campaign. 1t was argued that
much work could be accomplished
