Everybody in Line for the
Election OF the Whole
Ticket
CAPTAIN HENRY SELECTED
FOR ASSISTANT SECRETARY
Otto Strom Becomes Executive Sec.
retary and Grant Hagar Will Have
Personal Charge of the Press Bu,
reau-Everybody Pleased.

Perfect harmony prevailed at the
meeting of the Republican state execu.
tive committee and the candidates on
the state ticket, which was held in
Grand Forks today and at which the
nnal work of organization for the
fall campaign was cared for. Chair.
man Frank S. Talcott presided over
the session and the attendance was
very good, being representative Of the
entire state.
The most important actions of the
committee were the selection of Capt.
Frank Henry of Valley City as assist
ant secretary of the state COMMITTEES
and of Otto Strom of Lakota as secre.
tary OF the executive committee. These
two men will be at Bismarck during
practically the entire campaign and
will have active charge of the work
that will be done at the state head
quarters in that city. Grant Hagar Of
Grafton. editor Of the Walsh Ooun-
ty Republican, was made chairman Of
the press bureau and is an extreme
ly able man for that position.
1t was nearly IL o'clock before
the committee assembled today and
the first session continued until nearly
2 O'Clock. Another session was CALL
ed to order Immediately following the
luncheon recess. Matters pertaining
to the policy that will be followed
out in the prosecution Of the campaign
were the principal items on the card
for this afternoon.
Are Out For Business
Republicans, IL the sentiment Of
the committee Is fair reflection Of
| the conditions generally. are out for
business this year, according to the
| visitors here for the gathering today.
There is general sentiment preva-
lent that the party will elect its en-
tire ticket at the November elections
and in view of that fact much en-
thusiasm is being injected into to-
days meeting.
One of the matters brought promi-
nently up in the discussion was that
Of supporting the choice of the party
as shown in the primary election.
Ex-Governor j. NJ. Devine, In q short
addres to the members Of the COM
mittee, quoted briefly from q letter
that he had received from United
States Senator Cummins Of Iowa, one
Of the leading progressive Republic
cans Of the United States. "Stay by
the results of the primaries" is the
advice of Senator Cummins, mo mat
ter what faction ma yehance to be
victorious"
That is the sentiment that Mr.. De-
vine said should prevail in North
Dakota at the present time and he
was quite certain that this opinion
was the one held by Republicans gen.
orally. In view Of that condition, he
said that he felt quite confident that
the Republican party was in better
shape this year in North Dakota than
it has been for some time.
Talcott Enthusiastic
One Of the most enthusiastic men,
bers in attendance at the meeting to-
day is Chairman Frank Talcott. state
senator from Buffalo. Cass county.
and chairman of the educational COM
mittee in the upper house in the last
legislative assembly. Mr.. Talcott was
at one time mentioned for the guber-
natorial nomination, being given q
splendid endorsement for the place
by the Cass county Republicans some
time before the primaries.
There seems to be no valid reason
why the Republicans should fail In
electing their entire ticket this year"
said Mr.. Talcott today. The fact that
the factions have been enabled to get
together on a neutral ground is one
of the most potent factors on which I
base this opinion. 1t Is certain that
the party has not in several years been
better organized than 1t is now.
''This seems to be especially true of
the gubernatorial situation, and with
the campaign that we propose to In
augurate Immediately, there Is every
reason to believe that G. A. johnson
will be the states next executive Off
