BY the beginning of October the cam
paign will be IN full swing in Pottawatta-
mie county. Elmer +. Smith, chairman of
the republican county committee is now
actively engaged in arranging for a num-
Der of local speakers to go out into the
county. Among the number who are ex-
pected to take part in the speechmaklng
campaign are State. Senator c. G. Saun-
ders, Charles NJ. Harl, City Solicitor Glenn
F. Kimball, former County Attorney w
II. Killpack and d. r. Stuart.
The county committee is planning for
meetings throughout the entire county
next month and an effort will be made
to secure outside speakers of prominence
for meetings to be held in Oakland, Avoca,
Carson and Nicola.
While the republicans up to date have
not held any public meetings or made any
noise to speak of, good work has been
performed and nearly all of the candi-
dates on the county ticket have been con-
Quoting an active but still campaign. Re-
ports from all parts of the county are
most flattering and reassuring from a re-
publican standpoint and there is nothing
to indicate that the democrats have much
show to capture Pottawattamie county
this fall.
