pie who nominated him, but it had
no power to re-instate Mr.. Hale and
thereby protect the 800 people who
nominated him by petition. Since
Mr.. Hale signed the withdrawal on
the condition that Mr.. Bills should
also withdraw and that third man
should be put In their stead, REIN
stating Mr.. Bills would be breaking
faith with Mr.. Hale. There was such
strong loyalty to Br. Bills in addition
to the determination to respect the
peoples wishes who nominated him,
that men were not willing to let the
designations stand as they were, es-
pecially in view of the fact that Mr..
Bills only resigned because it was
represented to him that Republicans
wanted him to resign for the good
Of the Republican party. When it
appeared that the mass Of the Re-
publican party did not want him to
resign, that changed the situation in
Mr.. Bills mind. He had made the
mistake Of supposing that the few
men that had spoken to him about
it and advised his resignation were
representing the will of the average
republican which they were not. 1t
seemed impossible to harmonic all
these differences and to keep faith
with those connecting obligations.
designations Were Void
At this stage Of the deliberations
Senator Thomas turned to the stat
utes governing the matter of resig-
nation and found that these two
designations had not been made in
legal form. The law requires that
any one wishing to withdraw from
the ticket shall sign his resignation
and go before notary public and
make affidavits to that effect, and
that :. shall then be filed with the
county clerk This procedure had
not been followed and the resigna-
lions were therefor void. Both Mr..
Bills and Mr.. Hale are still candi-
daCeS as tney were DerOre the aglta-
ton started.
Other Matters of Business
The committee then passed on to
other matters of business such as
the financing Of the campaign and
was appointed t. secure
rooms for headquarters and to secure
the financial support to pay the ex-
penses of the campaign. 1t was
ordered that candidates should be
assessed not to exceed 10 per cent of
The first years salary, and that other
republicans should be assessed if
further funds were needed. The ex-
ecutive committee consists of Chair
man o. Buchanan, Secretary F. M.
Fisher and three other persons to
