The committee retired to see the
assessors and while away Candidate
Shinn was called upon to act as chair
man. He told of meeting j. B. Lilies,
one of the commissioners of district
No. 2, and asking him to come up to
the meeting. He quoted Mr.. Lilies as
saying Il will not go up, as ! have

Everyone in the room, except few
onlookers, stood up, and on Judge
Wears suggestions the same three
committeeman were requested to con-
fer with the commissioners and secure
their designations.
Mr.. Dodd wanted the designations
written out at once and handed i'm
mediately to offending officials, but
Judge Wear suggested the matter be
done legally, so that no successors
could be named. M. F. Whitaker in
sisted that the acts of the committee
be published in The Star so that the
people could know what was going on.
Mr.. Shinn made the final motion
that the committee meet the commits
