TAME MEETINGS OF
BIG COMMITTEES
Not Much Likely to Be Done To.

J 1t is expected that the meetings of
the four State committees to be held
here this week will be tame and that
the members will show themselves in
favor of lull in the campaign until
Fall. This is said to meet with the
approval of almost every candidate,
and if Pinchot persists in his tours of
the counties many men feel like let
ting him go as he is not stirring up
any enthusiasm.
The advance guard of the Demo-
cratic bosses is expected this after
noon. Palmer, Mccormick and Nor
ris had n powwow over the platform
in Philadelphia last night and it is said
| to be in shape to administer to the
committee when it meets tomorrow
afternoon.
The Prohibition people will hold
forth at 10; the Republicans at 11.30
and the Democrats at 2 tomorrow.
All three will probably re-elect their
State chairmen.
1t appears to be pretty we'll settled
that the Republican State committee
will wait until Fall to frame plat

to Form The Democrats, however,
Feature are planning to so right
ahead and give out a
platform which will en-
body the planks of Palmer and Nc
Cormick. Both Palmer and McCor-
mick will make speeches to the State
committee tomorrow afternoon. The
! Republicans meeting will be more or
less perfunctory as little will be done
/ beyond electing chairman and hear
| ing some speeches. The Bull Moosers
are said to intend to allow their decla-
rations of last January to stand. They
will also have speeches.
Tomorrow is the last day for fling
