rooms at Oddfellow's hall and was
called to order at two o'clock by
Chairman s. J. Atkins, Secretary w.
J. Evans also being in his chair. The
principal business of the meeting, as
stated in the call, was the selection
OF place and date for a county meet
ing to elect delegates to the state con-
,vention at Minot in June. The CON-
mitteemen were pretty nearly unani-
nous in their desire to hold mass
convention, and Egeland secured the
preference over Cando, Bisbee, and
the date set was March 10Th. After
disposing of this portion Of the busi-
ness, the committeeman unanimous
~ endorsed Judge John r. Cowan as
a candidate for reelection to the
bench of this district, David K.
Brightbill as choice for state audi
tor and G. J. Lord as candidate for
delegate to the national republican
convention. The action of the COM
mittee may be taken as expressing
the sentiment in Towner county upon
judicial standing OF Judge Cowan as
well as the popularity Of Messrs
Brightbill and Lord. The threatened
rent in the republican party In this
county seems fast disappearing and
1t is believed that the imaginary diff
freences that have existed will be set
tied at the convention at Egeland.
It is hoped that the meeting will be
attended by full representation
from every portion Of the county and

Miss Griggs, who is now holding a
prominent position in New York City
schools, that Wahpeton paper sup

the plea that it was "bad policy to

wondering if Mr.. House is now using
