dates themselves have never faltered
for a minute, but have kept on going
and working. so
Early in the campaign the Republic
can state candidates held a meeting
and organized themselves into sepa-
rate committee which was to do some
preliminary work. They took on
themselves the task of attending all
of the Republican county conventions
in the state and every convention was
attended by one or more of the can
didates They aided in organization
work at these conventions. and dis
cussed the political situation faith the
party leaders in the counties.
The candidates elected a committee
from among their number which made
the assignments of the candidates to
the various conventions. Thus this
| part of the work was taken off the
hands of the state committee which
had plenty to do to make its srganiza-
ton throughout the state. But now
that he conventions have all been held
he state candidates have placed them
selves in the hands of the state com
their assignments to the work cut out
| for them in the various pars of the
safe. The result is that every county
in the state has been visited by one
or more of the candidates, and many

in November.
In speaking yesterday evening OF his
trip over the state Mr.. Reed said:
II have every reason to believe thai
the Republicans will carry the state
this year. I have not heard of any Re
publicans who are going to vote
against the state ticket. Everywhere
there is absolute harmony in that re.
spect. In some of the counties that
have visited they have had their little
local differences over the nomination
of this or that many for county office
and in some places there has beer
: minor troubles over legislative nomi
nations, but these have all been ironec
out. and I have never seen Republican
more in line for their ticket than the.

satisfied with present conditions. ant
they haze told me in all of the countie
that / have visited that they see n

In addition to this the Republican
