elected conven-

be in charge of the campaign both the off-year campaign in the fall of 1934 and then of the presidential campaign in the fall of 1935. Th*, feeling in Republican circles in this section of the state is that the faction of the Republican party headed by Chairman Jame* M. Duncan of Greensboro has been in control of the party machinery long enough and that the time has come to make a change. exThey believe Meekins has an cellent chance to bring the various factions in the party together and weld it into a single, smoothis ly functioning organization.
