Tha committee alao took a glancing, ndirect ahot In the direction of favor ing the county convention Idea. - tt'hle, action took ths form of indorsing the resolutions nsssed by ths Union Iteoub- llcan club and favored by the Boll wood and Brooklyn clubs, recommending the forming of voluntary organisations in precincts throughout the county and ths holding of a "county convention of rep resentatives."
