astically supported the suggestion of

mediately following the national con

To avoid confusion and in order to
act in accordance with the Judgment
of the Republican state convention, at
which every county in the state was
represented, it was decided to name
district alternates recommended by the
district conference held at the, conven-
| ton. Some men whose names did not
come before that gathering, among
them being Sol Levitan of Madison,
were mentioned, but it was felt that
| if the committee saw fit to depart from
| the recommendations of district con-
ferences confusion and misunderstood
ing might result.
The following resolution was adopt
! ed providing for another state wide
gathering of Republicans:
Resolved, That a committee of
three, composed of George A. West,
George Gordon and E. H. Lyons,
representing the Republican state
central committee, to be known as
convention committee for the pur-
pose of calling, organizing and direct
ing the holding of a Republican con-
vention at Madison, at some date to be
fixed by them, preferably after the
Republican national convention is held
