HUKRIEDE AGAIN
CHOSEN HEAD OF
0.P.COMMITTEE
Dickey Retains Control of
State Organization, De-
feating Lamin.
STIFEL QUITS AND
WILL FORM A CLUB
Candidate For Governor Will
Garry on Independent
Campaign.

|
Republican State Committee, under
the dictation of Walter S. Dickey and
Jacob L. Babler, this afternoon, show
ed determination to elect 7. w. Hulk
| reide chairman against the wishes of
Judge Lamm, candidate for Governor,
Otto +. Stifel, the st. Louis brewer,
resigned as a member of the commit
tee and withdrew from its meeting.
Stifel declared that he would not be
a party to an action which was I'M
friendly to Judge Lamm. Hukriede
was elected chairman Immediately aft
Ter Stifel withdrew. Stifel said Lamm's
friends would organize committee to
run Lamm's campaign.
Hukriede was unanimously elected
by the committee after the candidates
were unable to agree upon a chairman.
Dickey and Babler were able to con-
troll II of q candidates who partici-
pated in conference on the chair
manship.
Judge Lamm first yielded to Dickey
by withdrawing the name of Jeptha d.
Howe of St. Louis for the chairman
ship. 1t was then expected that Dickey
would withdraw Hukreide, but he re-
fused to do so, and was able to force
his election. The attitude Of Dickey
toward Lamm has aroused the ire of
the Lamm supporters, and they are
charging that Dickey and Babler are
holding onto the State organization in
order to control Federal jobs if Hugh
es should be elected.
John H. Boutwell,, member of the
State Committee and lifelong friend
of Judge Lanm, also withdrew from
the meeting before Hukreide was
elected, and indicated that he would
resign as a member of the State Com
mittee. He said that he vas uncer-
tain whether he could serve Lamm bet
ter by being on or off of the commit
tee, but added that if he decided he
could render more effective aid by re-
signing he would do so.
The fight over the State chairman
ship has been bitter. John f. Swanger,
who was defeated for the Republican
nomination by Judge Lamm is here
fighting Howe, and so is John SchmOlI,
chairman of the St. Louis Republican
City Committee.
The Dickey-Babler combination takes
the position that it will be necessary
to placate SWanger and the SchmOll-
Kiel faction in st. Louis by the selec-
ton of some candidate for chairman
who will not be disagreeab!e to them.
1t is openly talked here that the Kiel-
Schmoll crowd is not showing much
loyalty to the nominee for Governor.
Judge Lamm has favored Howe as
chairman for the reason that Howe
worked hard in his support in the pri-
mary campaign, and he feels that he
ought to have loyal supporter as
chairman of the State Committee.
Hukreide and Babler both fought
Lamm and supported Swanger in the
primary. 1t is probable that unless
Judge Lamm gets a chairman satisfac-
tory to him a committee of his friends
will be organized to conduct his cam
paign Independently of the State Com
mittee. Judge Lamm's friends are al
ready charging that the State Com
mittee is sending out literature boost
ing Dickey and ignoring Lamm.
Democrats Elect Cowgirl Chairman.

IF MEN STRIKE

Quite number men holding cleric
al positions with the Richmond divis-
ion of the Pennsylvania railroad have
been listed to serve as trainmen, en-
gineers, firemen, conductors and
brakemen, in the event of the antici-
pated of the members of the various
brotherhoods of railway trainmen.
Former employees of the railroad,
especially those who have served as
trainmen, are being questioned by the
railroad company as to whether they
would accept positions with the COM
pany again in the event of strike.
Local trainmen are of the belief that
the strike will become effective not
later than the middle of next Septem-
ber. They also anticipate that at
least eighty per cent of the local
of the brotherhoods will
walk out in the event of a strike.
Railroad officials, 1t was learned to-
day. have notified local shippers that
in the event of strike delays in the
of freight are to be antici-
pated and it has been suggested to
them that they have all necessary sup
plies shipped to them as soon as poss-
ible.
