before under any circumstances. If
Colonel ONeal Is elected a great many
of the prohibition party will refuse
to vote for him. When you see how
firmly the amendment ranks are hold

comes evident that they have not given
up, but will seek every opportunity
to prevent the election of a local OPP

However, | believe Mr.. ONeal will
win by a good majority. The republi-
cans of the state favor his election,
and those who do participate in the
democratic primary will vote for him."
The state republican executive COM
mittee will meet at noon today with
practically every member present, and
will be called to order by Nenian L..
Steele, secretary. In the absence of
Chairman J. o. Til ompson it is probable
that National Committeeman P. d. Bar

side. The date of the convention will

seems to favor an early convention,

The Conner dynasty is at an end. sey-
eral months ago the word went out TO
the employees around the state capitol
that they might vote as they pleased, that
the governor did not care how they
voted.
The governor and his lieutenants, Weak
ley and Mallory, are not the first who
have lost out because they went too
far When men fail to compromise there
is always war. The governors metaphor
was broader than he knew, for he and
his legislature had brought on 'evolu-

November.
