STATE c. O.P.
MEET June 10

The state republican convcn-
tion will be held In Chchalis ON
June 10.
Delegates 10 the state CONVEX
tion Of the q. o. p. will be -
leeted In any manner the county
central committee may desfg-
nate.
This was the decision OF the state
republican central COMMITTEES at ita
meeting Saturday morning in the
Frye hotel. A resolution permitting
the county machines to handpick the
dele gates to the state convention was
adopted after considerable discussions
Mark Reed. state legislative leader.
Shelton timber man. proposed the
hand picking plan.
After Reed had stated his plan
whereby county committees might do
away with county conventions. Guy
Croft. state senator from Spokane.
complained:
isn't there some way we can do
this without being 80 plain?"
So the state committee reworded
its resolution 10 permit the county
committees 10 call conventions II
they want TO. or to select delegates
as they see fit TO the state conven-
ton II that plan suits them best.
Several delegates opposed the blunt
wording of the plan, declaring that
II would make people say that the
state convention was hand.picked-
IL was understood that the hand
picking plan is favored by most OF
the committee because of fear that
so.called radicals will get into the
county conventions and into the state
meeting and disrupt party harmony.
other committeeman from Eastern
Washington said II was nearly ina-
possible to get anybody to attend
county conventions anyway and
when only a few delegates showed
up the foes OF the republican party
made lot OF fun about II.
Chairman Charles Hebberd an
nounced that Gov. Louis r. Hart will
