SLANS FORMULATED FOB. WINNING BACK PROGRESSIVES. SPECIAL COMMITTEE OF SIXTEEN HOLDS MEETING. TO INCREASE MEMBERSHIP With a view to putting a fl ticket in the field in Louisville county at the coming August primary, the spe-emt committee of sixteen bavins' in charge the afi'uirs of the Republican party in this district held a meeting' at the CSalt House hist nijjht and practically decided to ar-range -Cor a platform convention to be held just before ttV; primary election. At this convention tin; principles of the Republican party in this district will be enunciated, and one of the things to be declared for lis a commission form of government for Louisville.

With this end in view the party will make a determined effort to elect! as many Republicans from this district members of the next Kentucky as possaible. Judge W. G. Dear ins. president of the special committee, presided over the meeting last night.

It was held behind dosed doors and each member of the committee hud something" to say regarding plans for th.e future welfare of tne Republican party. While the special committee is simply temporary one, and lias been entrusted with the work of reorganizing a Republican City and County Committee in Louisville and Jefferson county, work along this line will not be attempted. In all probability, until after the fall election. To Tick Out Ioyal Ones. Realizing that their party in this district is practically "shot to pieces," the committee of sixteen has decided to ascertain, as soon as possible, just who can be depended upon to support the Republican party hero in the coming election.

It wili not do to make any mistakes in that connection, the committeemen say, and they are going about the work of picking out the loyal ones with deliberation. Letters, it is said, are to be sent out to persons in the district who registered as Republicans and Progressives in the last election, the belief being that a great many who rcgistorr-d as Progressives are now ready to return to the old party. After the special committee has its plans a little, more, it hold a number of open meetings, it is sold, at which all will be welcome. At those meetings the oiivo branch will be extended with a view to biincing back Into the fold the deserters from the Republican Cioinir Alter legislature. 7n the opinion of the majority of the members of the committee of" sixteen, more roa.1 good for the Republican parry can be accomplished by electing Republicans members of the General Assmbly riext fall than by electing a Republican JMayor of Louisville.

In nominating men for the Legislature, the Republicans say, they will exercise care in an effort to gt sound business men. for the places: mn can apply their business training to the affairs of State and make their influence felt in the next General Assembly. From time to time, between now and the August primary, the -special committee plans to increase its membership. IT. G.

DISTILLERS WILL NOT CONTEST TAX VALUATION DECISION REACHED AT EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING. SUITS, HOWEVER, MAY BE FILED BY INDIVIDUALS.

S2 INCREASE THE ISSUE After careful consideration of the matter, the Executive Committee of the Kentucky Distillers and Wholesale Liquor Deal ile rs Association, at a meeting yesterday afternoon, decided not to contest in the courts the recent decision of tiie State Board of Valuation to fix the lfl" valuation for whisky at Ji 2a barrel, an increase of 52 per barrel over last year's figures. A representative group of distillers at tended the meeting. R. K. Wathen, president of the association, presided.

While the distillers maintain that the assessment of the State Board is excessive, and that the valuation as fixed is in some instances greater than the actual value of whisky, it was decided not to make legal protest. The cost of litigation and the fact that many distillers already have oaid the State tax. as well as otiier con siderations, convinced the members of the association that it would be unwise to take the question into the courts, accord ing to Mr. Wathen. Mr.

Wathen declared, however, that in dividual distillers may decide to file suits, nntwithstandinc the action of the associa tion. Representative distillers throughout Kentucky repeatedly have made protest against an increased valuation since the State Board first Indicated that it was considering a raise in the assessment. Three or four conferences were held in Frankfort, and for a time it was thought tlie board would adhere to last year's figures. Shortly 'after official announcement of the valuation ueciaeo upon was made, it became known that the distillers were considering the idea of resorting to the courts. Accused of Robbing: Car.
