st. Paul, July 13-Further addi-
lions were made Saturday to the new
Republican state central committee
and it completion shortly by Chair
man C. R. Adams and Jake Preus,
the Republican gubernatorial candi-
date, will witness one of the largest
and most efficient campaign crganiza-
tions in the history of Minnesota. It
is the intention of those in charge to
extend the committees activities to
every precinct in the state. At a
meeting of the Republicen nominees
held last Saturday, Jay Gould of Min
neapolis was named secretary Of the
state organization and further COM
mittee additions made to the number
of nearly 100. Personal representa-
tives on the committee by the several

<oad. Candidates for Congress NAM

of Sunburg and Gustaf Lindquist If
st. Paul.
Congressman Oscar E. Keller of ST..
Paul and Rev. o. ]. Kvale, the Rep
ublican congressional nominee in the
Seventh district, were not at the
meeting. Both have NCnpartisan
leanings and it is possible they will
be left out in the cold as far as COM
mittee representation is concerned. It
was further decided to give women of
the state active part in the coming
campaign and the fair sex was recog-
nized to the extent of making the
present Womens' Republican organ
ization in Minnesota an integral part
of the state committee Women will
have voice in all of the committees
deliberations and activities.
"Co-operation," ]. A. o. Preus, the
republic: n candidate for governor,
says is going to be the 1920 key note.
C. R. Adams, the new chairman of
the Republican state central COM
mittee adds, "and no factions" eve
have winning ticket in Mr. Harding
the presidential candidate and Jake
Preus, our choice fer governor, and
this is no time for personal differ
ences." "Burying the Ratchet has
been Mr.. Rceus chief line of activity
ever since being declared the guber-
Material nominee and he has an active
aid in Chairman Adams. His first
act was to take over the warning fac
tions that have made the state capitol
their headquarters for the past four
years and the advantage gained here
in political way has been further
augmented by a general get together
on the part of republican factions in
other sections of the state. There is
no denying the fact that there has
been much republican dissention in
the past and that party demoraliza-
tion has been threatened as result.
Candidate Preus insists on hesmony
and it looks as if he was going to get
it.
Now comes one Townley and says
that the Nonpartisan League does
not intend to be LARRY Hodgson
side line; that the organization has
only one object, the Redemption" of
Minnesota with the League as the
controlling factor and that despite
its defeat at the June Primaries it
will be there with full ticket at the
November election. The same Lea
que ticket which featured the June
primaries will be offered the voters at
the November election and if it can
not secure the Farmer-Labor title
now held by Cyrus King of Deer
River it will go on the ballot under
some other name. The idea is for
