YeOmans Not Alarmed.
In an interview, sent from Dawson.
Hon. NJ. ]. Yeomans. vice chairman
of the State Executive Committee, says
he is not at all perturbed over the
reports of movement on foot among
certain Parker forces to defeat him
for the craftsmanship of the coming
state convention. He says he has
received numerous assurances of sup
port both from the Parker men and
from those supporting Hearst: that he
proposes, if eleCt:d, to make a tn trough
ly impartial chairman, and he feels
that he will be elected, judging by the
gratifying assurances he has received.
The reported opposition to Mr.. Yeo-
mans, the Atlanta News says, is based
on the fact that Hon. e. 7. Brown
recently notified Col. o. B. Stevens
of the Department of Agriculture, that
in the event the Parker forces organic
ed the convention and asked him to
fake the craftsmanship. he would PROB
ably have to do so, though he had
formerly stated that he did not expect
to become candidate.
