In discussing his position last night, Chairman Davidson said; q most emphatieally deny the report sent to certain papers out of the state to the effect that might withdraw from the race for chairman of the state commit tee, fully made up my mind before an- nounced my candidacy. It is up or down with me. I would prefer defeat at the hands of the republican voters of the
 state than be taken down by so-caled politicians
 I've will be very lucky indeed if we have the opportunity to assemble and dis
 cuss matters pertaining to the upbulding of the party.
 we have some who claim that they are republicans who oppose any meet | ings of the party this year, on the grounds | that the people cannot be trusted. Per | sons making this argument should be carefully watched lest they develop as enemies rather than friends of the party. Other Meetings. "In reference to the rumor that many l committee meetings were to be called over the state next Saturday at the time
 of the meeting of the district committee here I wish to say that I was informed | that one or two of these meetings had
 been so hurriedly called that time was not taken to even notify all members of | the committee, much less the average l voter.
 "L understand, however, that a set Of l resolutions have been carefully prepared l which in substance reads, Resolved, That
 we are TT; that the republicans may in a | few years be permitted to peacably. as- | semble and reaffrm their devotion to we
 leaders we do most heartily indorse our | selves: and we do further declare that l the party is too big now, etc, etc. | Where two or less of the faithful few | shall gather together these resolutions are 1 to be overwhelmingly adopted, each party | furnishing his share of the applause as per contract.
 l "It is believed tha. these resolutions | will neither terrorize the members of the | party or cause them to take 10 the tall | tir.per."
