Committee Meeting


The meeting of the state committee
of the democratic and conservative
party on Wednesday next will be one
of more than special interest soutside
of the four contests 1t will have to
dispose of. There is a possibility that
the question Of all candidates standing
squarely on the platform may be taken
up and a resolution calling for such
thing presented. But 1t is not gen.
orally believed that 1t will be preached.
but that the matter will be allowed
to rock along as 1t is, leaving the mat
ter of the platform to the conscious
ness of the nominees. 1t Is we'll known
that the leaders desire to let this mat
ter rest as 1t Is.
Contests to BE Decided
1t is regarded as important that the
contests that are now pending be dis
posed of in short order, as 1t is not
any too long until election time. The
nominees want time to get in hand all
opposition outside the party and lay
out their races and the utmost inn
portance attaches to clearing the decks
of all troubles. There are four on hand
two for judges of circuits and two for
sheriffs. Chairman Tyler Goodwin Is
very anxious to have all such matters
adjusted, fearing the effects on the
party organization of long drawn out
family troubles of this kind.
