ROOSEVELT REPUBLICANS
AFTER COMMITTEE, TOO
County Convention Here on April
9Th May See Warm Contest
For Control In Lincoln

One Of the most important fea-
lures of the Republican county con-
veution which will be held here OIL
April 9th. will be the selection Of
the new county committee, to govern
the party in Lincoln county for the
next four years. According to well
founded reports, there promises to be
rs interesting a fight for the control
of the committee. as there is o'cr
the Taft and Roosevelt instruction.
For "a number of years, the COM
mittee has been completely controll-
ID by the faction of the party head
ed by DIR. X. l.. Dawson, chairman
and his friends. DIR. Dawson is now
leading the fight for Taft in this
county, and is understood to have
perfected strong organization to
put over Taft delegates and instruc-
tions at the convention, as well as
secure an effective and working ma
iority IN the new county committee.
The Roosevelt people are reliably
reported to be making a quiet organ
ization in Lincoln to send men to the
state convention who will vote for
Roosevelt instructions, and they are
also said to be very anxious to
capture the county committee and
depose DR.. Dawson "a chairman.
This branch of the party is called
the Lilly Whites" by one other fac
ton. Both sides promise to have n
biz crowd on convention day. and
the battle promises to be a merry
one.
The Roosevelt people claim that
they will carry GarraTd county bv
biz majority and it is understood
that they are making secret organ
ization and fight for delegates all
over the Eighth district and have a
good deal of confidence that they
will capture this district for khe
Third Termer.
