Of Unattached nalltlctana friends and boostsrs centered around vs national ngures wnose names are mentioned In the foregoing paragraph COFIDECH EVIDEJICKD This Is the word brought home yesterday by Republican State Chairman Ray Benjamin who attended the Chl oago meeting He said It was more like a service The meeting was opened with prayer and the chaplain was Will Hays the national chairman Never has there been such einfldence as that expressed at this meeting The members of the committee did not regard the Republican victory last November as a decision on the part of the voters to return to the old order of things but rather as an expressed sentiment that the great hulk of the voters of this country sro weary of the present Administration1 BenJaVnln said the sentiment of the meeting may be summed up most aptly by quoting a member of the committee who We are here In a common cause In a common country In behalf of a common people against an uncommon en LEADER IS BIO ISSUE One must gatfief from Benjamins narration of what occurred that the one big question la th mindset the members of the national committee was me loentity of the next Repub Heap standard bearer but eacli felt that this was not lie time for anya credlted representative of the Repub lican party to uncuas individuals Colonel Roosevelt had Just died and his death had a galvanic effect unon the party leaders The services con auciea oytne national Committee In memory of the great American were sublime Old warhorses who had disagreed with him on party grounds but who long since had burled all differences were sincere In their iriDute There has been a well defined belief In political ctrolea for many months that the one outstanding figure In the Republican party to curb the advance of the Bolshevlkl In America was Roosevelt ROOSEVELTS LOSS FELT National Committeeman William Crocker of California likened the dead leader to a political John Brown whoae soul goes marching on He expressed the unanimous thought of the National Committee when he declared the partys loss waa severe but that it was an even greater national loss Never was there greater unanimity among the Republican party leaders said Benjamin They wore of one opinion that the Republican Presiden tial candidate wnoever he may be will be elected He must be an American an able man and a Republican The Republican National Committee by going on record for woman auffrage has very likely made It certain that the Congress will adopt the suffrage amendment The action of the national committee In ln dofslng It won the vote of Senator Moses and only one vote was needed to put it tnrougn WOMEN SATAT MEETING fin taking credit for bringing about national suffrage the Republican party meroly points to Its record At the Chicago meeting two women sat with the men with full powers and voted upon all questions The Importance of this cannot be minimized coming at the present time when the long fight for suffrage nearlng Its climax When Mrs MedlU McCorrhlckv of Illinois a daughter of Mark Ha nna filed her report outlining the plana Repub lican women it was adopted unanl mously Mrs McCormick Is chairman of the womans exeeutive commit teerf he Republican National Committee The California member Is Florsnce Col 11ns Porter of Los Angeles Benjamin has an Important task here on tna pacirio uoast six states are under his Jurisdiction and hs is delegated by the national committee to keep in touch with wjiat is going on In these six states conduct a sort of listening poat and report progress to the main headquarters Therefore any djscussion of presidential possibilities Is not Benjamins That the big question politically today Hla recital of the names of leaders who were discussed was merely taking from memory the names of men that had been registered there In hotel conversations by boosters and frlsnds How did Govsrnor Burnqutst get to be a presidential possibility Lien Jam In was sked He made a cracking speech before the committee the chairman replied arid the next day there were a lot of friends from his State who launched his boom National Commlttaman Croeker said Benjamlnwlll net return to San
