vention - Muck Rakers
Are Scored.
Stutsman county republicans met
at jamestown last week to formulate,
among other things, plans for enter
tanning the state convention to meet
there in July. The Jamestown Alert
says of the meeting:
The business of the committee was
then taken up. A motion was made
that committee be appointed by the
chairman to entertain the state COM
mittee on the occasion of the state
convention with the jamestown Com
mercfal club, for the entertainment of
the large number of delegates who are
expected to be here on that occasion,
In case the club takes up the matter.
This was carried and the chair stated
that such committee would be appoint-
ed latter.
A motion was made that commit
tee of three be appointed on the edu-
cational work Of the party in the
county until the committees success
sors were selected by the delegates to
the state convention as required under
the new primary law; the chairman,
the secretary and one other were to
constitute this committee.
1t was moved and seconded that the
executive committee Of two years ago
be reappointed as the present execu-
tive committee, until their successors
were hereafter appointed as required
under the new primary law. Carried.
A committee of three. on resolutions
was appointed consisting of G. A.
Piercey, Chas. Shoemaker and H. B.
Spanton. There being no county con-
vention to voice the sentiments of the
republican voters ON certain questions
of party interest. it was deemed ap-
propriate that some such expression
be made by the committee having the
work and success of the party in
charge
There was general discussion of
party prospects and principles by
members from the outside precincts
were asked as ito the situation in their
precincts and In every case reported
that there was an increased vote in
each precinct over that of two years
ago and from every report it was
learned that such new voters were
mostly republicans.
There were no complaints in the
townships around the county of the
management and conduct of the coun-
ty officials elected by the party at the
last election. The county was gener-
ally prosperous and the feeling of the
farmers was one of satisfaction over
affairs of the county both politically
and otherwise
Resolutions.
The committee on resolutions re-
ported as follows:
Whereas, the old method of laying
down party principles for the local
