FRACTIONAL STRIFE
HOLDS ATTENTION OF
DARKE COUNTY 6. 0. P.

GREENVILI.E. O., March 22.-Darke !
county, at the present time, is in the
midst of factional fight in the Re-
publican party. There are two Re
publican executive committees and
two central committees. There is a
regular" organization, or the Porter |
Hiatt faction. which has been in power |
for some time, and the trump Or
SANITATION, controlled by the Menden-
halLLight- Cottren faction. and both
are making recommendations for the
post office and other appointive of. |
fees, which are to pass under G. o. |
p. control.
The regular organization was duly
elected in August, 1920, and the ex-
ecutive committee named as follows:
G. w. Porter, president; Ralph Hap
man, secretary, and G.. o. Holman.
treasurer. The organization in a res
olution recently passed delegates to
the regularly elected committees the
power of endorsing candidates for
various offices. The regular central
committee passed resolution to the
effect that no member thereof would
endorse the candidacy of any one for
office that did not affect his imme-
date locality. The opposing action
at their meeting, passed resolutions
recinding the action Of the regular Or
ganizatiOn, and elected ]. e. Folkerth
president, Homer Smith, secretary,
and Frank Fast as treasurer of new
executive committee.
For the post office many names are
being mentioned here, among them
being Asa Cottrell, of the trump" or
ganization; James Light. local news
paper man; Ora Granger, post Office
remploye; A. L. Mendenhall, insurance
man, and Charles Kemble, proprietor
of a print shop. There are about 20
applicants for every other appointive
Office. All is not well within local
Republican ranks, and many predic-
lions are being made as to who will
be the recipients of the offices doled
out.
