PLAN HARMONY CAMPAIGN.
Republicans Meet April 6 to Discuss
Organization.

The republican county central
committee will meet at the court
house on the Afternoon of April 6, at
which time the dates and manner of
conducting the several county con-
hentions will be determined.
The plan now proposed is to make
harmonious selection of delegates
othe state convention to name dele
gates to the national convention, but
unless such a selection can be made,
the matter must be determined by
holding primaries and a regular
county convention.
If the delegates to this convention
can be selected without the necessi-
ty of primaries. it is quite probable
the work of naming delegates to the
state nominating convention and
naming the county ticket can be
performed by one convention.
Up till the present time the pros
rective candidates have remained in
the background, but 1t is expected
annonncements of candidacy will be
made within the next few weeks
The lines upon which the county or
ganization will be formed cannot be
determined until the various candi-
dates with their alliances are made
known. but party leaders believe Ne7
Perce county will remain harmoni
Gus throughout the campaign.
