COUNTY NAME
PRECINCT MEN
Bailey and SchOck Named
Chairman and Secretary
of Organization.

Following the call of Harry F.
CRUDE. chairman OF the democratic
county central committee. demo-
cratic county candidates met at the
court house Saturday and perfected
an organization to name precinct
committeeman where vacancies ma
exist.
Charles +. Bailey. democratic can
didate for sheriff. and George A.
Schock. democratic candidate for
prosecuting attorney, were named
chairman and secretary, respective
~. Of the organization.
Delegates to the democratic state
convention and other leading mem
hers of the party here are prepar-
week The state convention VIII b.
in session next Wednesday and
Thursday May 10 and 20.
Open Omcc Here.
Roy DcnisOn. democratic chair
man of the Thirteenth district, plans
to open an office in South Bend dur
ing the coming campaign, providing
this city with a district committee
headquarters. Although Mr.. Den
ison lives in Rochester. he expects
to spend much OF his time in South
Bend during the campaign.
Judge BOwser, of Warsaw, will be
a candidate before the state conven-
ton for the nomination for demo-
cratic candidate for the SUI RENE
court judgship from this district.
Echoes from the recent repubh
can state convention do not sound
like there is that complete hair
mony among republicans in st.
Joseph county as some of the lead
crs would have the rank and file
OF the party here believe.
Predict Break.
There is so much bitterness be
tween some Of the leaders in the
county that an open break is pre-
dicted. The cause of the new dis
sentiCn is said TO be the failure of
Sam Leeper and Fred a. Bryan to
have them named as delegates L.
the national convention at Chicago
IN June.
Il appears that everything had
been arranged for the naming OF
Messrs. Leeper and Bryan by the
Thirteenth district delegation, but
the arrangements were changed at
the nth hour, and the friends OF
MesSrs. LeeLer and Bryan say that
District Chairman Vernon Van
Fleet and County Chairman Fred c..
Klein did the changing. Instead OF
Messrs. Leeper and Bryan going 70
Chicago as delegates TO the repub-
lican national convention, they will
go as private citizens, for County
Chairman Klein himself is one OF
the delegates and John Norman,
of Knox. Is the others. They were
named instead of Messrs. Leeper and
Bryan.
