AWAITS CONVENTIONS ACTION

to Postpone Appointment Until the
County Convention Meets-dea is to
Obtain Sentiment of the Delegates
and Appoint the Nominee,

! County Auditor w. e. McLeland,
of Courts S. p. knsely. who form the
board having power to appoint the
member of the board OF supervisors to
fill the vacancy caused by the death of
T. j. Shearer, met Wednesday and de-
cided to defer the matter of appoints
ment until after the republican county
convention, on April 8, when 1t is
thought likely the convention will make
the nomination OF the candidate who
will be placed before the voters at the
general election in November. Mr.. Nc
Leland and MIR. knisley favored this
plan, and Miss Evans opposed 1T, de-
string to make the appointment at the
present time.
The view taken by the majority. OF
the members OF the appointive board is
that a sentiment of the people may be
obtained by awaiting the action of the
convention. While the convention may
not decide TO make the nomination, the
probabilities are that the sense of the
ueieSdles VIII ne " liie eitSt eias WIS
is the better way. Another alternative
would be to call special primary cleo
ton, and name the candidate for the
vacancy in this way. After the action
is taken by the convention the members
of the board will appoint the nominee,
thereby avoiding any feeling that
might arise should man be appoint-
ed now, and some other be the choice
of the convention.
The candidates for the appointment
to fill the vacancy until qualification of
the candidate elected next November
are w. J. Clemons. of clemens; w ii.
Whitehill, of State Center; w. b. Ma

N. o. Keen, of Lefirand. and j. w.
