TALK OF STATE CONVENTION
Gossip Already INDUCED in by RE-
PubIicnns Mt Lincoln ~
to Time.

Down at Lincoln the republicans are
already discussing the date of the state
convention. The Star quotes former State
Chairman Lindsay on this subject as fol-
COWS:
The middle OF July or the first Of August
Is early enough for the state convention. 1t
is not good politics to have a long drawn
out campaign. a convention early in May
or June would mean that many of the
counties would hold two county conven-
tons also that but few of the candidates
on the legislative tickets would have been
nominated. About a month is required to
get the state committee organized and in
working order after the new chairman and
members are selected by the convention.
One of the difficulties of campaign Is
getting the organizations perfected early.
When the state convention is called early
many Of the counties leave the election Of
their new county committees for their
second or nominating county conventions.
which generally does not come until last
of August or the first Of September. When
the state convention il held IN the middle
OF the summer majority Of the counties
hold but one convention and those who do
hold two organize their committees at the
first convention.
Another argument in favor Of a late
state convention is that il gives opportunity
70 nominate the legislative candidates be-
fore the convention is held. This is a good
feature, because II enables the state candi-
dates to campaign with the legislative cam
didates, helping both. If the convention
this year Is to endorse senatorial Candi-
date 1t is but justice to him that he should
have opportunity to campaign with the
legislative candidates. II does much TO
strengthen the cause of both. A third
argument in favor of the late convention
idea is that IL brings the preliminary poll
of the state by the state organization much
more value. This poll really is the deciding
one, as il gives the committee exact infOr-
nation as to what must be done. When
the first poll is taken early in the year
1t necessitates the taking Of at least two
more.
In my experience in the state committee
work / have found that the first poll IL the
truly valuable one and that but little good
comes from the others We ind out on
election day what has been accomplished
and the last polls rarely are carry enough
to enable the committee to overcome hostile
sentiment. Most decidedly an early state
convention is a drawback to the successful
work OF the committee. A July convention
will enable the committee to get thoroughly
organized and in working order by August
Is. From then on the work tells.
