Republican State Convention Assemblies

lican state convention under the new

on Thursday, Sept. 2S, with DIR. ID. 7.
Hawley of this city. one OF the Republi-
can nominees for the Office of state SEN
ator from Chittenden county, as tempo
rarv chairman. This much was decided
at the meeting Yesterday afternoon at
the Hotel Vermont of the Republican
state committee, the Republican nomi-
nees for the state Offices and Senator
Carroll s. Page and Congressman Frank
l.. Greene Tentative plans, including
the formation of a business mems league,
in the interest of Charles +. Hughes, Re
publican nominee for president, were out
lined for the Republican campaign tins
fall. The state convention, which, un-
der the new law, will consist of the nom'
inees for the state offices, the nominees
for state senatorships and the nominees
for town representatives, must elect
state committee. so that, although 1T is
very probable that the present commit
tee will be re elected, definite plans cannot
be made known at this time. Stanley
lC. Wilson of Chelsea, chairman of the
state committee, preSlueu AZ llic ihoo'''s
and Robert w Simonds of st. Johnsbury
was elected chairman of the committee
on resolutions for the state convention.
The present state committee has IN
laupurated and maintained clipping bu-
reau and has a considerable store of cam
paipn literature on hand A complete
! list of all town committees is on file and
many other details have been arranged,
so that even if an entirely new commit
tee should be elected, they would find
the fall campaign pretty well organized.
The state committee will probably be
elected at the first session OF the con
vention and will at once meet and start
work for the campaign, which will close
with a ten days whirlwind finish, ending
m. dav preceding the election.
