RECOMMENDATIONS
County Committee Denies
Idea OF MeddIing
With Frear
REPUBLICAN SUPERVISORS
MUST ARISE AND EXPLAIN
Deputation Will Wait on Them to
Find Out What Their Attitude
Is Going TO Be in
the Matter

The Republican County Committee
| didn't make any recommendations to
| Governor-to-be Frear regarding his
at headquarters. More than that, it
denied strenuously and emphaticalIy
that it intended or ever had intended
&c make any such recommendations
The members of the committee reiter-
ated this denial collectively and in
dividualIy with such heat that one
could not but be impressed with the
fact that there must be some truth
in the original statement-even We're
it not known otherwise that the re-
port was true.
The meeting of the committee was
open, not executive. Naturally the
matter of recommendations, there
fore, was not taken up. 1t had been
stated by certain members of the
committee beforehand that if the
meeting were an open one, this sub
ject would be avoided, but if it were
an executive session, the tale to be
told-or, rather, not to be told, I'M
der any circumstances-wou be
very different one.
There seemed to be rank ignor-
ance on the part of all the members
of the committee as to why the
meeting was being held. Harry
Klemme asked the question that
seemed to puzzle everyone. why is
this meeting called?" he wanted TO
know. There was a painful silence
for time Chairman Harry Murray
said he didn't know. Boyd finally
came to the rescue by explaining that
the object of the meeting was for
the members to get together and see
whether they were alive or dead. 81
think we ought to meet at least once
a month"; he said. There are al
ways matters coming up"
Klemme wanted to know what
matters, but Boyd didn't specify.
Chairman Murray brought up the
subject of Frears appointments. Il
don't sec that we have anything to
do with that matter" he said. And
then he landed on the Republican
members of the Board of Supervis-
ors. 81 can't see," he said, that the
recommendation of this committee
have any weight with the present
Board of Supervisors. There isn't
any use in our meeting and making
any recommendations. AS for the
statements in the newspapers that
we have called this meeting to give
Governor Frear any advise, that is
nonsense. We are only the County
Committee and haven't anything tC
do with the Governors appoint
ments"
That's what / think" said Klein
me. 81 don't think we ought to med
die with Frear."
"We're not going to-" said Muir
ray. 81 don't really think there il
anything for the County Committee
to do. AS things are going, there il
no necessity of our endorsing any.
. body"
And then the sore spot was touch
? ed up again, and it is now up to the
Republican members of the Board Of
Supervisors to arise and state theil
position.
SIS it a fact" asked Booth, thai
the Supervisors have ignored thu
County Committee?"
ut is said Murray. "They have
done that right along, from the day
after election
Booth thought the County Com
mittee ought to find out just how
this matter stood 81 think" III
said, that it would be good ide;
for someone to see the Republican
members of the Board of Supervisor
and find out whether our recommen
dations go,-see what their attitude
is toward any recommendations o
the County Committee.
After some further discussion,
motion was made and carried that
: committee of three, including Chair
: man Murray, be appointed to wait OF
the Supervisors and find out wha
they intended to do Murray ap
