Republicans Meet TO
Pick Out Good
Timber
WILLING TO ENDORSE A
NUMBER OF REPUBLI-
CANS ON RECIPROCITY
BASIS
CFrom Sundays Daily.)

With other members of the party
and other citizens, the Republican
County Committee met yesterday
afternoon in Odd Fellows hall for
the purpose of ascertaining who
were avowed candidates for office
and of naming men as tentative
candidates for those offices for
which there were no open aspirants.
A number of ladies were present
and took a keen interest in the pro-
ceedings. When Mrs. Gertrude
Twiggs announced that she would
make the race for superintendent
of schools she was greeted with
tremendous applause, and when call
ed upon for a speech she quietly
but firmly remarked: Il intend to
win. l will make you good
school superintendent. | am a grad
uate of the State Normal School of
Missouri, was in the senior class of
the State University and taught
school for eight years"
Robert E. Morrison was made
acting chairman of the meeting by
reclamation, the official chairman,
T. F. Mclaughlin being unable to
be present. w. E. Glenn was ap-
pointed secretary and later was
elected secretary and treasurer to
fill the vacancy caused by the death
of H. Z. Armitage, who had oc-
cupied the joint position. After
several vacancies in the Office of
precinct committeeman had been
filled the next order of business was
to suggest names for places on the
county and legislative ticket out
side of those who had announced
themselves. There were a number
present who declined to be candi-
dates when their names were pro-
posed for certain Offices and there
were also men named who were
not present, and who may or may
not accept the honor thrust upon
them. There was a strong senti-
ment expressed that for offices
where there were no avowed can
didates, and little probability of Sc
curing the right material. that the
ticket should not be filled as a,
mere matter of form but that a get
together spirit should be manifested
towards the Progressive party of
the county, which had shown the
right spirit by endorsing tentative
ly the leading candidates on the Re-
publican ticket.
No action was taken in this mat
ter as it was not officially known
what the attitude of the Progress
sives was on this point, but there
Is no question but that a large ma
Jority of those present were in fav-
or of harmonizing, if possible with
the Progressives it being realized
that with opposing candidates for
the same office, neither one would
have a chance TO win against the
Democratic nominee. After going
through the list of offices the fol-
living were selected as probable
candidates at the primaries.
