County Republicans Meet
at Dinner and Talk
Harmony Plans.
FOUR ARE ABSENT
Plans Made to Make Women of
County More Equal Partic-
ipants in Party Work.

Republican leaders of Kenosha coun-
ty buried the primary Ratchet and
talked harmony" and Republican sue
cess" at dinner held at the Elks club
on Saturday night when thirty of the
party leaders, including winning and
losing candidates at the primary and
members of the county committee
fraternalized and pledged fealty to the
party ticket.
1t was most successful meeting and
the fact that the Republicans Of the
county are united for the success of
the national ticket was the outstand
ing feature. 1t was a love feast at
which plans for successful campaign
were discussed and these plans are
going to bring a much larger partici
patton in the affairs Of the party in
the county by the women Republicans.
1t was declared that the women are
anxious to volunteer for work and a
complete organization among the WON
en- of the county was arranged for
with the understanding that the women
themselves will be invited to take the
lead in perfecting the organization.
Want Hand That Rocks Cradle.
The leaders of the party lost no time
in assuring the women that they are
anxious for the aid of the hand that
rocks the cradle and rules the world
and in order to make the participation
of the women easier the Republicans
are going to have non-partisan school
for the instruction of the women in
the use of the ballot. This is planned
for all women regardless of what
party ticket they want to vote and
special representatives of the commit
tee will be ready to give the women
instructions at the headquarters or at
club meetings or in their homes.
No Discordant Note Heard.
There wasn't discordant note at the
banquet and the love feast which fol-
! lowed and it was interesting to note
that some of the candidates who had
been defeated at the primaries were
among the first to pledge their aid to
the support of the victors. There were
four vacant chairs. Louis Powell,
Frank S. Symmonds, John Scholey and
/ Stanley Souders, who had been can
didates at the primary failed to ac-
cept the invitation Of the committee.
This may lend color to the reports
that three of these four men have been
considered as possible independent
candidates but the rank and file of
the party represented at the gather
ing seemed to be of the opinion that
little or no comfort would be given
to the Independents.
