month the lineup will IN all proba-

Politicians declare that the present

and since it has "fired its wad" real
action is expected.
The state committee meeting which
was held in Jacksonville on Thursday
was pronounced by old-timers at such
meetings as being the most interest

before. Usually, in several hours
