consisting of Secretary of State
Frear State Treasurer Dahl and
Attorney General Gilbert, will meet
! September 10 to canvass the
vote. This board, while enjoined to
do it's work expeditiously as possible,
may adjourn for ten days. AS the
! platform committee is to meet the
Monday following, September 26, it is
possible that the filling of the vacancy

Republican ticket, should such be
found to exist, may go over to the
new state central committee. The
general belief here is that the board
| of examiners will take advantage of
the law giving authority to adjourn
for not to exceed ten days.
