FIRST INNING
IS KEARNEY''S
FresnQ Capitalist Elected
to Raisin Growers Direc-
tOrate After a Hard Fight
TWO FACTIONS AT WAR
Disruption of the AssOcia-
tion May Depend on the
Selection of a President
Special Dispatch to The Can.

FRESNO, April 4.-The Raisin
Growers Association held it's regular
annual meeting this afternoon and
elected the following board of'directors:
r. x. Madssn, d. d. Allison, NJ. Theo
Kearney, T. ]. Alexander and A. ".
Taylor.
The election was the elimination of
one of the most strenuous fights in the
history of the association. For the last
three months the growers have been
agitating the matter and the question
resolved itself into a fight for and
against NJ. Theo Kearney. 1t was
a question of electing Kearney to act
as head of the association and accept
ing his proposed plan of the associa-
ton owning its own packing plant and
the Introduction of the. sliding scale
into the purchasing methods of the as
-scciation. or retaining the old board
and continuing along the business
methods pursued in former years. 1t
was Kearney or anti Kearney. Both
factions had tickets in the field.
There were also two independent can
didates and coop" ticket.
Taylor and Allison are members OF
the old board. while Kearney and Alex
ander are supporters of the Kearney
plan. Madsen is independent and fs
now in Europe. 1t is not known just
how he stands in the proposed Kearney
plan. The new board is evenly divided
and much depends now on who is elect
ed to fill the presidents chair. Many
are watching with interest to see what
attitude the packers will take toward
the new board. They have said that
they would not deal with the associa-
ton with Kearney at it's head but will
buy outside Many of the growers Will
withdraw from the association should
kearney make any headway in putting
his plan into effect. On the other hand
the Kearney supporters will not come
in if he does not have his say in the
control of the association. The present
board, which appears to be com
promise between the two factions, has
the salvation of the growers in its con-
troll and the only plan that Will keep
the association together is compromise.

AS the question of nomination by
the primary system is to be referred
to the republican voters of the
county, and then to be adopted or re-
jected by the central committee in
accordance with the majority vote.
we deem it we'll to print the rules
governing the system as practiced In

the voter will be able to better deter
mine whether or not he desires to en-
dorse the system. The primary
system as outlined below is in force
in five counties in this state and
there is a strong move in this
direction in many more counties:
FIRST-The candidates for nomination
on the republicans ticket for the various of
fices to be filed by the voters of Beaaie
county shall be nominated by primary
election, and the candidate receiving the
highest number of votes for each Office
shall be declared the nominee of the re-
publican party for that Office, and the
county central committee shall have
power and authority to try and determine
all questions as to who Is the nominee,
and may hear evidence and take all ueces.
sary steps 10 determine the questions that
may arise, and decisiess of the county
central committee shall be final and COM
elusive The voting shall be by secret
