PAUL J. KREUSI TO HEAD
G. 0. P. COMMITTEE
Sells Holds Overall's Proxy as
National Committeeman.
To Organize Today.

Senator Newell Sanders left Sunday
night for Nashville to attend the meet
ing OF the republican state executive
committee. which is meeting there TO-
day
John II Early and r, L. Burnett, the
two members from the Third district. of
the committee. left saturday night to
be on hand at the preliminary confer
ences.
This is the committees hrs; meeting
for the purpose Of organizing and the
organization will be effected by the cleo
ton of Paul ]. Kreusi as chairman.
The secretary had not been picked when
the committee men left saturday
Sam r. Sells passed through the city
Saturday en- route to Nashville to attend
the meeting. He stopped over here to
confer with Senator Sanders and other
party leaders.
Mr.. Sells, while not officially desig-
mated as leader of the Harding cam
paign for Tennessee, occupies practic-
ally this position, in that he is acting
IN the capacity of national committee
man from Tennessee in place of John
w. overall, whose health, 1t is said, VIII
not permit him to perform the arduous
duties. Mr.. Sells is merely temporary
committeeman holding the proxy of Mr..
Overall, which will be surrendered at
any time Mr.. overall desires to per-
form the duties himself or his health
will permit.
1t was said while back that John
II. Early wanted to~be chairman of the
state committee, but 1t was learned
Sunday that he had foregone his am
bition in favor Of Mr.. Kreusi, and II
was stated Sunday that the election of
Mr.. Kreusi was a foregone conclusion.
The republicans of Hamilton county
seem to be recognizing their forces
and taking Into the organization BUSH
ness men who have not heretofore been
active in politics, This Is shown byl
the selection of Mr.. Kreusi as chair
nan of the state committee and John
S. Fouche as chairman of the Third
district.

OUTLOOK IS BRIGHT
FOR FUTURE BUSINESS
Interest in Stock Market Gen.

broker. Mr.. Silverman says:
After the September installment OF

believed that there will be a decided
relaxation in the money and credit
situation. Credit regulation has made
more progress In recent weeks IMAM az

OF course, have worked through this pc
Rod OF uncertainty at considerable dis
advantage. but II Is felt that the advent
OF fall and winter trade will change
the complexion OF affairs quite ma
terially. Nearly all lines of business
are now In "A moro stabilized condition

ceiVership for several small and unim-

Interest in the stock market at the

railroad stocks have advanced ma

after Taft's nomination In 1908 railroad
stocks rose so points. As result OF
