REPUBLICANS PLAN BIG “LOVE FEAST”

Abo Are Getting Ready For State Convention —Chairman Hays Calls Central Committee. Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 30.—Will H. Hays, chairman of the republican state centia.l committee, today issued a call for a meeting- of the committee to be held -,at state headquarters in the Hotel Severin at 1 p. m. next FJpday, Dec. 3. It is understood that this will be one of the most important meetings the committee has held in many months as one of the questions to come up will be that of fixing the date of the next republican state convention. Under the new primary law the state convention must be held within 150 days after the primary and the date must be set by the state committee before the primary is held. In other words, the republican state convention must be held* on some date between March 7th and August 7th. “Th purpose of the meeting,” said Chairman Hays, “Is to fix the date of the state convention, complete the plans for the statewide love feast to be held in Indianapolis on Dec. 29, and to discuss the method of getting the necessary information to the precinct committeemen and party workers as to the operation of the new primary law. The things necessary to be done under the law will all be new, of course, and we think it is important that all the party workers be advised as fully as possible about it. We are receiving many letters at headquarters every day from the committeemen asking what has to be done. There are some plans yet to complete also about the love feast which it. seems now is going to be the biggest demonstration the party has eve* held on a similar occasion.”
