REPUBLICANS SET CONVENTION
 DATE F0R DOUGLAS MAY SIXTH

Republican Central committeeman, representing every precinct in Co chise county. met last evening in Naco and perfected arrangements for hold ing mass meetings in every precinct on April 25 and a county convention in Douglas, April 29.. Owing to the ban. placed upon the holding of meet ings in the Warren district, the com mitteemen, after arriving in the dis trict, moved to Naco, where the meet ing was held.
 Owing to the departure of George Crysler from the county Albert M. Sames, formerly chairman of the state committee and prominent for many years in Republican politics, was nom- mated by A. H. Gardner. of Tomb stone, for the chairmanship. The com mittee was unanimously in favor of the proposal Ralph Ziesemer, the sec retary of the committee, appeared in that capacity.
 The mass meetings, proposed by the central committee, will be held in every precinct of the county. These mass meetings will select delegates to the county convention which was given to Douglas after Tombstone had been proposed by Mir. Gardner. At

the county convention, which will take place April 29. thrity-two dele gates will be selected to represent the county at the state convention. to be hld in Tucson May 6. At Tucson six delegates and six alternates for the national convention in Chicago and a national committeeman will be select ed
 From the attitude of the central committee it would appear that Co chise county will endorse Charles A Overlook. of Douglas for delegate from this section to the national conven- vention. and M. F. Cassidy for Ma tional committeeman. Both men, it is freely predicted, will leave the Doug las convention with the unqualified support of the delegation.
 The Tucson convention may be unique in the respect that it will be. in all probability. the last state con vention ever held in the country All of the committeeman, who were in the district yesterday prior to the meeting, freely predicted that the Re publican party, both in the nation and state was preparing to make a clean sweep.
