ORGANIZATION. OTHERS

TO INDULGE POLITICAL
PROPENSITIES.

4 Last Wednesday afternoon the staunch
and true Democrats of the County met
in mass convention at Turner Hall for
the purpose of perfecting county
organization in compliance with the
request of Fred Wheaton, Chairman of
the Democratic State Central Com
mittee. Altho the call for the conven-
ton did not reach the party workers
until a couple of days before the time
set for the meeting, a representative
gathering materialzed nevertheless.
There was noticeable absence OF several
Democrats who had in previous con-
ventions taken an active part in the
councils of the party, but this apparently
did not have any particularly depressing
effect on those present. They had come
together for the purpose of organizing
and this was accomplished in most
satisfactory manner.
Not only was the county committee
selected, but committee men were
chosen for each voting precinct in the
/ County. AS another evidence OF the
spirit of the meeting may be mentioned
the fact that by passing the hat around
$500 was collected among those present
for campaign purposes. No one shirked
this important duty.
The meeting was called to order by
Fred Pfaender, the former chairman OF
the county committee. He read the
call and the meeting organized by elect
ing William Brust of Sleepy Eye as
Chairman and Arthur L. Book of this
city as secretary. When it came to the
selection of a county committee it was
hlade known that three of the former
members of tie committee, by reason
of their appointment as postmasters had
thereby been placed outside the pale of
committee work, the postal regulations
forbidding political activity on the part
of those holding federal positions. This
necessitated Encouragement OF the
county committee and it was decided to
have committee of five 60 over the
situation and report six names OF persons
who were willing to serve in this capacity.
AS such committee Chairman Brust ap-
pointed Jos. ]. Sperl of Searles, VIM.
Mueller of Springfield, C. P. Block OF
Sleepy Eye and Fred Pfaender and
Athanas Henle of New Ulm. After
short recess these reported as their choice
Jos. J. Sperl of Cottonwood; Frank Ber-
berich of Springfield; M. B. Erickson OF
Hanska; George Glotzbach Of Sleepy
Eye and JOS J. Smasal and Christ Filzen
of New Ulm. These names were con-
frmed by the meeting and the COM
mitteemen thereupon retired for the
purpose of perfecting an organization
and reported shortly that they had
selected George Glotzbach as Chairman;
Jos. J. Smasal as Secretary and Christ
Filzen as Treasurer. The following
