REED TO CALL COP.
MEETING FOR JULY |

81 Reed will call his branch Of the
Republican county central commit
tee together on July / to fix the
date for the precinct caucuses. the
county assembly and 10 provide for
the summer primariez The selec-
tion Of election judges win be made
sooner.
This is matter-of-fact announce
ment but really it is The signal for
war of the most sanquinary charac-
ter.
The reason is that s. and not Dave
Miller called the committee.
No Quaker City counsellor in the
acquaintance Of the writer ever was
able to decide the merits of the case
as to who is not chairman of the
county central committee. Not that
the position carries any honor in
these barren days Of Republican
wretchedness but just as an inter
esting political problem the fight be-
tween Dave and Silas is worth watch
ing.
Shortly after the last election the
county central committee by vote
of 32 TO 8 decided that d. S. had
held the chair long enough and in or
der to lend charm to the already
benignant countenance of 81 Reed
they chose him chairman. David s
did not take kindly to the oustinE
and after some conferences with his
local friends he decided that he was
still chairman and he Is so recog-
niZed by Chairman Mcdonald Of the
state committee and by Straud Lo-
gan, Barney Welch. George Smith
and others Of similar leabings. not
excluding Intentionally Senator Hor-
ace T. DeI.ong.
Now then first ST and then Dave
will call the committee together and
who ever calls the meeting will at
tend in person and shortly after
wards adjourn. Not too long ago
the Reed contingent broke the atten-
dance record up to that time by a
congregation Of three Dan Griffis.
Moses +Worthington and Reed him
self. Last Saturday at least two
dozen attended but there were
members of both factions and a few
doubtful ones in that list.
So Silas will call the committee
together on July and Miller stated
this morning that he probably would
not do any calling on his own ac-
count and mayhe he would be sick
and not attend Reeds meeting. He
wasn't right sure yet.
There will be SO delegates from
Mesa county to the Republican state
convention in Denver August 4 The
congressional convention, according
to l.. c. Worthington, who has re-
ceived the proper notices, will be in
Salida July 81.
