At a meeting of the DemocraUc City Cen tral Committee, held in Justice J. J. Spauldlng's office yesterday afternoon, it was decided to hold the primaries for the election of delegates to the State and Ju dicial conventions June SO. Every ward In the city was represented either by the Commtteeman or his proxy. Judge Barnard P. Taaffe presided, and Isaac Conran was serretary. There was no disagreement over the time when the con vention should be held, the convenience of the voters being the first question. At theso primaries delegates will be se lected for the Judicial Convention In Spring field, July 8; the State Convention in St. Joseph. July 22. and the Circuit Court of Appeals for the Eastern District Conven tion In St. Louis August 5. A number of visiting Democrats were In the city yesterday. JusUces G. D. Iiurgess and Leroy I). Valllant came down from Jef ferson City and conferred with their po litical friends relative to their candidacies for renomlnaUon. John R. Green, Clerk of the Supreme Court, spent the day In the city after attending the funeral of former Chier JusUce F. II. Black of Kansas City. Frank II. Farrls of Steelville was also In the city for a short while. Senator E. B. Fields of Linn County left for his home yesterday afternoon after a few hours spent here on business. He has all but ten delegates Instructed for his re nomination, no opposing candidate having appeared. The convention will be held June 24. His majority is so large In the general election that the Republicans make only a nominal fight. rHELPS-KEnnxs deal, reacts. Sentiment Aenlnst the National Com mitteeman Aronsed by Exposure. Politicians are watching the developments In the Republican camp with Increasing In terest, If such a thing were possible. To night's meeting of the St. Louis Republican Club will probably bring forth some "warm" resolutions denouncing the Kerens Phelps deal to elect the former to the United States Senate. County convention? which will be held to-day will also show the attitude of the party toward the con trol of the lobby in making "agreements" for the control of the State Convention. State Chairman Aklns returned yesterday from Bates County, where he attended the convention Thursday. The convention did not hear of the part which the lobby Is taking In dictating Republican procedure until after it was too late to take action. The Republic, containing a full account of the scheme and the names of those who participated in the conference where the "agreement" was made, did not reach Butler, the meeting-place, until the resolu tions had been adopted. It is said that Chairman Aklns has main tained a discreet silence regarding the Phelps-Kerens deal, in order to prevent the other faction from claiming that he Is stir ring up trouble. To all Inquirers he replies that "the lobby did not Invite me Into con ference." That being the case. It Is up to Kerens to explain the close relationship between himself and Phelps and the Mis souri Pacific Aklns has received many letters from out in the State complimenting him on his at titude. At the headquarters of the Nation al Commute an Idea of the light In which Colonel Phelps has been placed by the ex posure Is Just beginning to dawn on his lnltmates. Ha was not In the city yester day, having gone from the Jasper County Convention in Webb City to Joplln, where he spent the day. As sentiment crystallze, the movement for antilobby and antlboodle delegations In the city primaries progresses. Unless some more "compromises" with the lobby are made, there will be contests In the major ity of the wards. Though It was Intended at first to run some of the delegations under an "anti-Kerens" caption, it Is probable that Instead the slogan will be antilobby and antlboodle, the recent Indictments against some of the old crowd furnishing an additional text. The friends nf Kerens in this city are taken exclusively from the old supporters of the former Mayor. To Cure Drunkards. A Simple Way to Cure Any Drunkard Afainst Hia Will.
