AbOfE Ihk LIABLE.
Chairman DeArmond has issued a
call for the Democratic Central Com
mite to convene on Saturday, July
1st, 1905. By q perussl Of the off,
cial call, which can be found In an
other column, IL will be seen that the
object for which the committee is
called 10 not stated. Ii 10 generally
supposed that It Ia Tor the purpose Of
accepting Mr.. Diamonds resigna-
tion as committeeman OF Mt. Pleas
ant township and consequently as
chairman OF the central committee.
The failure to mention the object OF
the meeting may possibly have been
an oversight; we can hardly believe
that IL was purposely omitted so that
In the event cog should slip In the
arrangements to select chairman
to suit certain interests, there would
be no vacancy to all. However,
there has been SO many strange
things happen in connection with this
matter In the past that our people
have q right to be suspicious and de.
mand that the cards be dealt above
the table. Mr.. DeArmond gave Il
out boldly that he intended to resign
at q meeting held early In the spring.
The resignation failed to materialize
and the chairman announced after.
wards that he desired very much to
resign, but he couldn't think Of tax.
ing such q step without q full at
tendance at the committee meeting"
1t was afterwards ascsrtainsd that
there we're nineteen out OF the twenty
four townships represented either by
committeeman in person or BY prox-
les. 1t IL hard to tell just what q
"full attendance" would be, when the
chairman assumes the right to be the
sole Judge OF that matter.
1t comes to us that Mr.. DeArmond
has confided to favored few that
while he intends to resign the chair
manship OF the central committee, he
intends to retain his membership In
the committee as committeeman from
Mt. Pleasant township. We can
hardly credit that Mr.. DeArmond
would do so foolish o thing. Ger
tainly the reasons that would prompt
bis belated resignation as chairman
would apply with equal force as to
committeeman. It would be very
strong reason effectirg the political
interests OF himself and associates
that would induce him to thus brave
the contempt and criticism Of the
democrats OF his own township and
the whole county.
1t Is also rumored that Mr.. Dear
mond conflded to the said favored
few that one OF bis objects in holding
on was to have a voice In the manner
Of nominating the county ticket, and
that he was going to insist upon a
primary election, along the lines Of
the Australian ballot in the general
election. 1t seems that plots and
schemes are being Matched a long
ways ahead and that more attention
Is being devoted to the construction
OF a ticket than the good Of the
party.
Wehope we have been misiniormed
In these matters and that Mr.. Dear
mond will gracefully retire from the
committee and not attempt to con.
troll the committees actions or par
tvs nominations, while living In an
other county ss he expects to do FOL
