NIGHT. as Mayor johnson handed the
fnII COMMITTEES the draft and the
Fiji committee soon completed It's work.
The tactics of the johnson men in
giving no ousrter was shown most
ciearlysin the organization tonight Of
tha new State central committees.
Contests were made on three members
as follows: BY Prescott Smith on
Lewis G. Bernard in the first; by j.
x. McCiung on Capt M. Hutt in the
tenth. and by @. C. Philbrick on F.
4 Heer in the twelfth district. It
was nrged on the johnson men that
Bernard, Hutt and Reer had fhe ere
dentials duly signed by the chairmen
and secretaries Of their respective dis
tricts and that such contests for COM
nittee membership were almost with
ont precedent, pnt all appeals for con-
ciliation IN the interest OF harmony
failed and the new COMMITTEES spent sne
