that the electric light plant had

The annual district conference

CAMPBELL IS TO
BE SECRETARY
Randolph County Man Said to be
Slated for Convention
tOlOrS- Stanley in
Line for Assistant

Thomas w. Campbell of Poca-
hOntas will be nominated for either
temporary or permanent secretary
of the state Democratic convention
to be held in this city June 7, ac-
cording to announcement made yes
terday by friends of Mr.. Campbell.
1t was also stated yesterday that Ed
Stanley of Fordyce will be in line
for assistant secretary of the con-
vention. 1t is believed that the ad-
ministration will support b o h
Campbell and Stanley and that they
will go down on the administration
slate for the convention.
Mr.. Campbell has represented
Randolph county in the house two
sessions and was chief clerk of the
house prior to the term of Ed Lu-
cas as chief clerk.
= Mr.. Stanley has been assistant
chief clerk of the house in the
legislature for several terms.
The belief was expressed yester-
day that there would be little if any
opposition to Gov. DonaGhey's
wishes in the state convention.
Many of the county conventions
have endorsed the administration
and the delegations from some of
the other counties, which might be
opposed to the administration are
not expected to be aggressive.
United States Senator JEFF Davis is
a member of the Pulaski county
delegation and whether the Davis
forces are planning opposition TO
the administration at the conveu-
tion because of the persistent ru-
mors that Gov. Donaghey will OPP
pose Senator DAVIS for reelection,
is matter of conjecture. Such
action from the Davis camp is not
anticipated at this time, however by
politicians.
Bruce T. Bullion, secretary of
the Democratic State Central Com
mittee, announced yesterday that
the state convention will be held in
the Capital theater. When the
question of securing a place for the
convention was taken up a few days
ago Mr.. Bullion and Chairman
Frank Milwee of Clarendon under
stood THAT the Capital theater had
been secured for the date Of the
convention for another purpose and
the Auditorium rink was secured.
Yesterday it developed, however,
that there was a misunderstanding
about the matter and that the
theater could be secured. AS a re.
