REPUBLICAN COUNTY COMMIT
TEE MET AT HOTCHkISS

Committee, and a number of the Re-
publican candidates met at Hotchkiss
last Saturday The meeting was call
ed for the purpose of organizing and
selecting the county officers, in
Guiding a chairman, vice chairman,
secretary and treasurer
w. R Hinman and H. E. Perkins
were placed before the meeting for
county chairman. Seventeen precinct
committeeman and committeewomen
favored a resident of the county seat
for chairman. and likewise cast their
vote for Mr.. Perkins. Fourteen of the
committee favored Mr.. Hinman. The
their preference, and all eight present
favored Mr.. Hinman.
Mr.. Hinman served as chairman in
the 1918 campaign. Owing to the fact
that the headquarters were at Hotch-
kiss instead of the county seat there
was some dissatisfaction Committee
men and committeewomen in this end
of the county favored a Delta man
this campaign, for the reason that
they felt the chairman should be locat-
ed at the county seat where the whole
county can best be served.
Mr.. Humans record as a live wire
chairman in 1918 proved to be joke.
He lacks organizing ability and tact,
yet personally he is an agreeable sort
of a chap. We hope he will prove to
be better chairman this year
Mrs. H. E. Perkins was chosen as
Percy Houts, secre-
tary and Mrs. Lucy Hillman. treas
urer.
The time is short for campaigning
and organizing. But So days remain
