REPUBLICANS HOLD MEETING
Douglas County Central Committee
Has Preliminary Session.
FULL COMMITTEE IS PRESENT
Prepare for work in the Coming Fail
Campaign in This County
Hen Baker Is Chosen as
Chairman.


ing in Judge Suttons court room. w. e.
Rhodes was selected as treasurer and the
chairman was given authority to select a
secretary and an executive committee.
The meeting was one of remarkable
enthusiasm, generated in part by the ad-
dress made by Judge Baker after he took
the chair
1t goes without saying" declared the
new chairman, and all who know me will
bear me out-that l am a republican, a
republican every day in the week and every
day in the year, from January j to Janu-
AIRY l.
Without rejecting on any republican
who may be within sound of my voice, l
wish to say that there would be much less
trouble for the party today II all Of us
had been consistent republicans. The
trouble with us republicans-some Of us
is that we find 1t too cas- yto manufacture
excuses for voting for some democrat. If
We all had always voted right we would not
have a democratic mayor today nor a dem
ocrauc governor and easy sailing now.
I'VE do not always get in the platform
planks which exactly suit me- But the
point is the greatest good of the greatest
number and 1t is for the majority to say
VIVA TIVE ought to do and then for us to
follow. The republican party is right in
principle. 1t is always right in principle
and when we stand by our principles in
stead Of voting for some fad or other,
everything comes our way. There is moth
ing worse for yourselves nor your party
than voting for some democrat.
County Option Not An Issue.
I'VE do not all of us favor county option.
But let me remind you this: There is not
going to be county option-I mean a vote
against sales of liquor-in Douglas county.
And If other counties out in the state vote
dry, whom does IT hurt? Not you and 1.
But perchance the brewers could not build
as many $4,000 homes In the last half
dozen years here nor ride around in as
many 5000 autos So, whether or not the
people out in the state proceed to vote one
way or another on liquor selling in their
county, it does not affect us one way or
another here.
Men of the central committee, you have
chosen me to be your chairman l have
this to say now: l want every member of
the committee to stand for the ticket from
top to bottom 1 say now that If find out
that any one should be cutting, shall have
his resignation at once"
Judge Baker Lauds SupttOn.
Judge Baker also spoke of the strength
OF the state ticket, the great superiority
man for man of the republican Douglas
county legislative ticket and of the leverage
in behalf of the whole ticket exerted by
the candidacy of Judge Sutton, who, Judge
Baker said, lis great vote getter."
Rousing addresses were also made by
Judge Sutton and John L. Kennedy. John
Lynch spoke earnestly and effectively on
the necessity of precinct organization work
