 The chief business of the committee consisted in providing for represents and looking after the filling of va cancies ill the county ticket and oi- ganization. The first job was finished in short order by a committee which submitted a list of I4 to be sent as delegates, with provision that any proxy that might have to be exercised would go to a republican woman. The receift of letter from Rich ard Lamson, nominated for county at torney, advising the committee of his decision not to run for the office, wa, followed by amovc to fill this vacancy on the ticket.

 Mrs. Richard Lamson, representing the Republican Women's League ol this. city appeared in support of d resolution asking for representation by women on the county and state delegations. II was pointed out thar it had been next. to impossible to Sc cure candidates among the women for the precinct offies, but that one had been elected, Mrs. Ballingcr O. this city, who was placed on the dele gation.
 It was provided, however, thas women should be given proxies for the republican state meeting at PToc- ] nix on Saturday.. so that Tavapa' county might be represented by its l feminine voters.
 1 The selection of an executive con;-s mittee of seven members was placed | ill the hands of Chairman Meany. who said he would name this committee within the next few days. This com mittec will frobably act to fill ticket vacancies.
 In the matter of filling such Va cancies, an argument developed as tc whether the republicans shiuld attenp. to oppose Mrs. w. Wheeler, demo- cratic nominee for school superinter dent E. S.

 A Meeting of Harmony.
 Not a rifle marked the calm sur- face of the republican meeting. | It was not considered necessary by any one present to indulge in flowery campaign oratory, so every one az tended strictly to the business of ths meeting. Scarcely division of opin~ lon appeared and no vote was taken that indicated anything like discorc. The meeting radiatcd confidence in the ability of the party ths year to register itself as a growing conccr'', even if it is not possible to record ans- sweeping victories. Of certain office, in the state and county. the rcpubii- cans feel sure they will be possessed after Nov. ?.
 An earnest attempt will be made {" diidc the responsibilities. duties ana privileges of the party organizatlo'' wth women who take an interest in Ircpublicanism. It is with the aid O; these women that Chairman Meany hopes to stimulate new sources oi campaign aid into activity. In connection with tho reported re- i publican slush fund. tho chairman aH- nounccd that but q small percentage l of inc proposed county assessment or | quota had been raised, if that was any ! consolation to the opposing prcsidcn- ! tial candidate, and that if some money i didn't come in pretty soon he wouic ! find himself broke as a flat as fl'i- ! ter.
 A county campaign to raise th- quota is to be started within d short l time. Machinery for the money rai7- ing is organized in practically all pre- cincts. it was announced. Dr. R. ;. Roper. for instance heads the "slush fund" committee for Prescott, and while he does not believe that he can equal the records announced by the democratic candidate, he is cCnfldcn' 4I,t I.c ,,s:i1 i,terrSt euOiIrl1 rCOl1bll~
