 May Be Declared.
\. \. MYERS NOMINATED FOR GOVERNOR
Plan of Insurgents for Reorganizing State Central Committee Pariiaii, Adopted by Regulars-PersoneI Of the New Committee.

The regular and insurgent forces of the republican party held separate conventions al Little Rock. though the insurgents failed 70 make any nominations for state officers. Sever al conferences were held between the leaders previous 10 the calling Of the conventions 10 order It is under stood at these conferences the regu- lars agreed to the plan 10 reor- ganize the state central commit lee hy choosing twenty members al large and one member from each county. granting the insurgents one delegate at large 10 the national convention. and dividing equally the presidential electors. The failure Of the insurgents 70 nominate d candi. date for governor and choose dele gates 10 the Chicago convention would indicate that all differences will be settled Gen. Powell Clayton was ac. tive in the role Of peacemaker. both in the conferences between the two factions and on the floor of the regu- lar convention. Hon Fl II. Myers was nominated for governor and the state central committee was empow. cred 10 hll other places on the ticket later if il is deemed advisable Both conventions endorsed the administra- ton of President Roosevelt and in strueted for his renomination. The members of the Big Four who will represent the state at the national convention al Chicago are: H. l.. Remmel. Charles N Rix. Sid B. Red ding and NJ W Gibbs. the last named colored man. The only contest was that between Gibbs and N. Donahoo of Helena, also negro, for the fourth place on the delegation. Charles D Greayes of Hot Springs was elected chairman and George W O'Neal of Harrison. secretary of the insurgent state central committee.
 Hon II L. Remmel called the con. vention 10 order. and after d lengshy address, the temporary organization was effected by the election of J | Worihington of Carroll county as chairman and W. S Holt of Pulaski county secretary. After the usual committees on credentials and -perma- nent organization reported. Hon. L. .. Bratton was made permanent chair man and Hon. w S Holt secretary.
 The first contest in the regular or. der Of business was precipitated by a motion to reorganize the state central committee by selecting one member from each county The Pulaski coun- v delegation favored selection of the committee as heretofore. and the re- organization plan was favored gener. ally by the county delegates. After some heated remarks Gen Clayton of. fered the following
 Resolved, that the state committee be composed of one member from each county. 10 be selected on roll call by the delegates from each county 10 this convention. and twenty from the state al large to be recommended by the committee already appointed and that not more than three al large be from any one county. The chairman. sec retary and treasurer may be selected from outside the committee in which case they shall be ex-oficio members of the committee
 All other motions were withdrawn. and Gen, Claytons resolution was adopted without a dissenting vote.
