State Committee Pro-cummins.

GUS campaign" that eliminated in the
nomination of Albert B. Cummins for

mittee
The committeeman from the eleven
districts were named at the district
caucuses held yesterday morning be-
fore the assembling of the state con-
vention at the Auditorium, and but
few of the old members retained their
seats in the body. Just when the new
committee will be organized is not
known, but the general custom is to
perfect the organization Immediately
after the state convention, but it is I'M
likely that the new chairman, to sue
coed R. H Spence, will be chosen to-
day, as some Of the members have gone
| home.
There was some talk Of meeting last
night for the purpose of organizing,
but it was found impossible to get all
the members together. There are also
two or three members who are not in
favor of organizing Immediately and it
\ is thought they will suggest that no
permanent chairman be named for sew.

SO many new men on the committee
