VIII Meet the Executive Committee
This Afternoon to Discuss Campaign
Plans

The Republican Fourth District COM
mtttee met this morning at the party
headquarters and nominated w. w.
Harris to run in the special election
in the fourth district. The nomination
was practically decided upon by the
special committee appointed to find
candidate. Harris was rendered the
nomination last Thursday and yester-
day he notified the committee that he
would accept nomination. A meeting
was therefore called for this morning
to ratify the choice.
Chairman A. v. Gear presided and
W. h. Coney acted as secretary. At
the meeting were: Chairman A. V.
Gear, j. II. Boyd, Charles Wilcox, 5.
Johnson, a. Brown, Frank L. Hoogs,
DR.. Burgess, LOrrin Andrews, j. p.
McNeigh, j. NJ Hea, j. II. Fisher, L. II.
Wolf.
Gear stated the object of the meeting
and the result Of the labOrs of the Spe-
cial committee, and DR.. Burgess moved
that the report of the committee be
adopted and the committee discharged.
HoOgs seconded the motion and it was
unanimously carried, and those present
gave Harris a round of hand-clanping.
LOrrin Andrews explained his former
opposition to putting up any candidate
by calling attention to the many de-
partures of voters from the fourth dis
trict THE Young Mems Club has been
going over the lists of registered vot-
ers,' said Andrews "and we found
that we could not account for Is per
cent Of the voters. We are unfortunate
i'm that we have to go into the election
on the last registration list. The new
cOmers cannot vote, though we think
they are solid with US.
This is the reason why I and some
others opposed putting up any candi-

of the committee wanted to do so.
call attention to it now to show what is
before us, and the amount of work we
shall have to do to win. Mr.. Harris is
young man who has the respect Of
all and will make an aggressive cam
paign, and 1 can say that if members
Of the Young Mems Club are wanted to
do personal campaigning, there is a Hst
of men willing to serve"
The matter of meeting the executive
committee this evening to discuss the
campaign was taken up, and several Of
those present said they could not at
tend a meeting this evening HOOgs
moved that the meeting be held at 4
o'clock this afternoon. Fisher, seCre-
tary Of the executive and central com
mittees, said that the district commit
tee should be ready to tell the central
committee what it wanted. Boyd pro-
posed a subcommittee to meet the exc
cutive committee, and the proposition
carried but was afterwards reconsider
ed when it was found that there were
not enough present who could attend
tonight, to make up a committee of one
from each precinct as proposed. The
proposition to meet the executive COM
mittee at 4 o'clock this afternoon was
finally carried.
