Chairman McCombs, after the
meeting. held many short confer
ences with other members of the COM
mittee and sought their advice in the
management of the campaign. Lynch,
Sullivan and Taggart were consulted
for the Middle West and they prob
ably will handle the campaign as far
West as the Rockies. Charles Bosch

Illinois. will be in charge and espe-

chief advisor both of the new chair
man and of Governor Wilson, him
self. Also he will be one of the chief
speakers in the campaign.

into the Democratic camp and help
