STATE COMMITTEE
 TOCONVENE HERE
Chairman Smith Orders Meeting for Friday Night;
 Officers to Be Reelected

The new Democratic State Cen tral committee has been called to a meeting here Friday by Chairman j.. Francis Smith and candidates on the state ticket will be present.
 Organization of the committee was not undertaken, as of yore, at the state convention and the meet ing for this purpose, called for last Thursday, was postponed because of the storm.
 No opposition is reported to any incumbent officers which would mean reelection of Chairman Smith and Joseph P. Mulville, as secretary.
 Chairman Smith reports that the Democratic campaign will get under way next week and announced ape pointment of Charles Hasburg ot plaintiffs in both actions. Attorney William P. Wertheimer appears for both plaintiffs.

are the type Of voters whb will
try to make the subject of war
an important part OF the 1910

ISM against certain peace or

truth to them; some strategists
say Russia wants a European

until all sides are exhausted
linen at the proper time, accord
ing to this theory, Russia would
step In with a strong, well-or-
