Chairman Fearnside announced that
there was on hand in the treasury OF
the committee about si,400 for which
there was no immediate need, He sug-
gested that some portion OF this
amount be donated to the Woodrow
Wilson fund, for use Of the national
committee in defraying the party's ex-

following a discussion of the matter
it was decided TO contribute $3.50 OF
this amount to the national commit

general discussion of the present
primary law was then indulged In, the
committee being unanimous in the
opinion that some change in the sys-

were made and were discussed al

future.
The matter of the arrangement OF
the ballot to be used in the approach

and it was suggested that the name:
of the democratic presidential elector:
he placed at the head of the ballot. II
alphabetical order and that the name:
of the republican and third party cleo

Congressman Frank Clark and Pari
Trammell, nominee for governor, wht
were present at the meeting, made
number of interesting and valuable
suggestions which were acted upon b!
the committee. Mr.. Clark suggested
that a speaker Of national prominence
be secured to make number o
speeches in the state, to combat th'
tendency to desert the party and t.
urge the voters to rally around tn
party's standard in the coming elec
