Chairman Park Agnew of the state re-
publican committee will leave here tomor-
row for Richmond to preside at meeting
OF the state committee, which will be held
at 8 o'clock that evening. In conjunction
with this gathering there will be meeting
Of the state executive committee. The
purpose for which these meetings are to
be held, as heretofore stated in The STAR
Is to consider the advisability Of placing
candidates in the field for the state con-
stitutional convention. Chairman Agnew
states that the question will probably be
restricted to the counties in which the
white population predominates, as it is con-
sidered almost useless to run candidates in
the so-called "black BELTS Mr. Agnew
believes that the committee will decide IN
IaVor OF naming party candidates with
view OF securing at least strong minority
representation in the convention.
In addition to the constitutional convcn-
tion matter it is probable the state COM
mtttee will also consider the question OF
placing republican. gubernatorial candi-
date in the field. Up to the present this
matter has been discussed only informally
by the party managers.
