similar family quarrel was the oregon
contest King was selected by the
Oregon state committee and in last
years primary election Easterly was
chosen by the Democratic voters.
Democratic precedent provides fun
four year terms for each coIhmittee-

presented with the problem of over
throwing choices of state committees,
according TO established precedent, by
recognizing the choice OF party con-
ventions and the rank and file in
primary contest. Full authority and
discretion was vested in the COM

A spectacular feature OF the meet
ing was the suffrage battle staged by

suffrage was advocated and opposed.
Another discussion within the COM

the same. The Democratic committee
men favor June.
President Wilson's denomination was

national committees annual meeting
and the committees from cities seek

usual.
There was much verbal speculation
regarding the alleged movement to
Oust VIM. r. McCOombs, OF New York,
as chairman. Friends of Fred b. Lynch,
OF Minnesota, we're said TO be active in
trying to have him succeed Nc
Coombs. Party leaders insisted the
rumors were without foundation.
Among the cities bidding for the con-
vention we're Chicago. st. Louis.
Dallas. San Francisco and Omaha.
Lengthy arguments and pyrotechnics
were scheduled.
Called TO order at II o'clock at the
New Willard Hotel by Chairman Nc
Coombs, the morning session was
largely routine.
There we're eight vacancies on the
committee. In two OF these there
were contests. from Oregon and Ken
