State Chairman Charles A. Rawson
has not determined on the date for
the republican state convention and
probably will not until after the
democratic convention at San Fran
cisco Is over. The law provides that
the state convention must be held not
earlier than the first Wednesday nor
later than the fifth Wednesday fol-
lowing the county convention. It
would be possible therefore to hold
the state convention as late as Aug
ust 4. It will probably not be as late
az that but there ID more or less talk
OF giving the contesting aspirants
sufficient time to present their cases
to the delegates to be selected July
8 before calling tho state convention.
There IL some disappointment ex-
pressed that the county convention
oates fall on Saturday, July 8, as not
few towns are planning to .cele-
brate Independence Day on the Sd.
