Mr.. Price for Chairman.

Since Judge Spencer b. Adams gave
out the final word that he would re.
tire from the chairmanshsp Of the
state republican committee there has
been much speculation as 10 who
would be chosen to succeed him.
Probably the one most frequently and
favorabIy mentioned Is A. II. Price,
Esq, OF Salisbury. Mr.. Price Ia re.
ceivlng letters every day from party
leaders In all sections Of the state
urging him to speak the word that he
would accept II elected and giving
him assurance OF cordial support.
Mr.. Prices valuable party service,
his knowledge OF political conditions
and freedom from any alliances With
warning factions IN the party would
make him especially acceptable. say
those who insist that he take the
chairmanship.
The republican rarity has no strong
er leader IN the state than the SAILS
burlan and the democrats would mo-
relish his election 10 succeed Judge
Adams. Salisbury Post.
