of together with one delegate at large.
At yesterdays meeting two changes
were made in the personnel Of the CEN
trail committee. Rolla Proudfoot was
selected to take the place of the late E.
A Augustavo in Baker precinct and
Jacob Nalaer was appointed in tho
place of Robert Cunningham who IS
now in China. Both are strong An
keny men which gives the Ankeny
forces complete control of the central
committee.
In view of the fight precipitated at
the organization of the Taft club it is
expected the Ankeny forces will en-
deavor to nominate and elect a major
ity of the delegates favorable to Sena
! tor Ankeny. Little opposition to the
Ankeny forces is expected owing to the
Boxers weak showing at the Taft meet
ing which is taken as an indicatiOn that
the Boxer strength is on the wane in
Walla Walla county.
