What Barabbas They

Showing the political astuteness and
.u;ck Judgment (Which not even his

william Barnes executed a rapid flank
movement yesterday against those who
an the night before had decreed that
he must retire or be retired as chair
man of the Republican state Commit
,ee. AS he had told a committee reu-
resenting those who hold he is an OBJ
stscle to the progress Of the party he
would not resign. they decided they
would have TO organize campaign
against him.
Realizing that with time they would
pobably succeed in getting a majority
N the state committee TO vote against
him. Chairman Barnes decided last
ught TO get the committee together as
soon as possible. At that meeting Il
resolution of confidence in his admin
straton of the leadership Of the or
gsnization will be introduced. on that
there will be a lineup. There are
many members Of the committee who
believe Mr.. Barnes ought to retire VOL

The call for the meeting Of the COM

some day this week. This will give
the opposition scarcely any time for a
campaign.
In the early inquiries as TO the atti-
tude of members OF the state COM
mitlee on the question of deposing
Barnes II was learned that many of
them thought 1t would be an un~
gracious thing to do so long as the
committee owed him SGO,OOO. This
money he advanced to help pay the ex-
penses Of the last campaign. Some Of
this has been paid back. but not much.
II was suggested by those who wish
the retirement of Mr.. Barnes that they
might succeed in raising this money.
which would leave these members free
10 vote against him. But it would take
some time to raise the entire amount.
