wards Of the city caucused and select
ed their member of the clubs advisory
board who with the officers of the club
are charged with the responsibility of
ious wards Of the city who will agree
in writing that they. will abide by the
instructions of their ward caucus as to

vention on judicial candidates. The
members thus chosen We're: First, s..
S. NeWland; second, d. e. Hole; Third,
G. "A. Mote; Fourth, II. j. Shoemaker;
Fifth ward not represented. These
men with the officers of the club meet

Committeeman Suggested.
In response to circular letter re-
ceived from campaign headquarters in
Des Moines which urged progressives
to see that candidates for republican
party committeeman filed affidavits
with the county auditor in order to Sc
cure the advantage of having their
names printed on the primary ballot
the members of the club caucused by
wards and commended that the fol-
lowing members take advantage of this
provision of the law. First ward, "A M.
Clark, candidate for reelection; Sec
ond ward, j. p. Cooper, candidate for
reelection; Third ward, Merritt

Falrth ward, w. H. Jones, to succeed
- P. Rxatt: Fifth ward. not represent
ed.
While the clubs suggestion Of these
men does not in any way prevent
others filing candidates. for the same
positions nor does it prevent the eau
cuses selecting committeeman who
could be voted upon at the primaries
by having their names written on the
ballot by the voter yet it seemed adj
visable to have them file before the
caucuses We're held so as to get in
within the fifteen days limit and Sc
cure the advantage Of getting their
names printed on the ballot.
County Chairman Devine and others
thought this unnecessary but the mo-
ton to suggest these candidates. in the
name Of the club prevailed by almost
unanimous vote.
