STATE REPUBLICANS MEET.

The Republican State Central COM
mittee met in Louisville Tuesday
night. A large number of local lead
ers throughout the state were in at
tendance. Ed Marrow was the prin-
cipal speaker. Confidence in carry
ing the state this fall was expressed
by all the speakers. The most i'm
portant action taken by the committee
was the appointment of a committee
to arrange call for a state plat
form convention to be held some time
in the spring. At such convention
a state platform will be adopted and
ticket of candidates will be en-
-dorsed to be voted for at the Au-
gust primary. An unusual pro-
ceedure was the selection, at this ear
ly date, of a campaign chairman to
conduct the fall campaign. Chesley
Searcy, of Louisville, was selected for
this important position. Mr.. Searcy
is the, best Republican organizer in
Kentucky, and his selection as cam
paign chairman will go along way
toward inspiring hope of victory in
the rank and file of the party.
