precincts for the purpose of ,electins
delegates to the county convention,
call to be made by posting notices
at all customary posting places in the
precinct. Notice of anti-Townley Re-
publican precinct meetings should be
posted and otherwise made public as
quickly as possible after the county
chairman issues his call for the coun-
ty convention. ~
In a few counties where the re-
construction of the county central
committee is not completed, the coun-
ty chairman is authorized to call
mass convention, giving at least sew
%entfdays' notice. n M publication
papers. In all other counties dele
gate conventions are recommended. .
I'm order that there a be no
grounds for charges Of unfairness as
between ~contending candidates, it
will be necessary that all delegates
to be seated in the state convention,
must be elected at a county conven-
ton held in compliance with this
CALL. :.
Legislative ARecompcndatfons.
1t il also Recommended that at the
county convention steps be taken to
unite on a Republican Legislative
ticket, il said county constitutes a
legislative district. If only a part Of
a legislative district, then delegates
should be elected to a legislative con-
vention to be. called at a later date
by the state central committeeman
for said legislative district In coun-
ties that comprise more than one leg
i~slative district the delegates to the
county convention should, on the
day OF the convention divide them
selves into their respective legislative.
groups and name their legislative
ticket. This will not be expected to
govern when Republican, legislative
tickets have been endorsed.
County Tickets Not Anected.
On account of a change made in
the law by the last legislature can
dldares for county. office are not to
be nominated or elected as Republic
cans or Democrats this year. The en-
doTsing OF candidates for county; Of
ficet. to represent the anti-ToWnleyt

Townley county convention composes
OF anti-Townley Democrats and Re-

lines. Yours truly,
