New candidates surface for Republican State Committee
In the days ahead Major Woodward of Wakefield and Captain Gen Pitman of Marblehead emerge as contenders for secretary. Pitman supporters plan a quiet but sharp challenge while talks circulate of adding an outside assistant secretary and assistant treasurer, with Arthur P. Lovell and Frank A. Nichols named from the Journal. The committee aims to organize temporarily in January and finalize after the State convention to elect delegates to Minneapolis. There is broad support for ex Senator Norris as chairman, though Norris allies resist the temporary setup and may push for a full January permanent organization.
