and his friends have been thrown out
bodily by the Republican state commit
tee. Judge George w. Allen, chairman
OF the congressional committee, gave
them a look in at the congressional
convention which will nominate Rob

afternoon. The First district congress
sional convention will meet immedi-
ately upon the adjournment of the
state convention. Judge Allen, as a
peace measure, will admit both Den

position for the nomination. However
