Temporary Chairman Explains.
"The call speaks for ITSELF said
Temporary Chairman Thomas S. Scott
this morning. eve believe that Keno
sha county wants to be part of this
great movement and we want every one
IN the county to have chance. The
temporary officers have no desire in
ny way to dictate to the people Of the
.ounty interested, in this movement
and we are serving simply as an agen-
cy to get the people together. There
will be no hand-picked delegates at
this convention and every man and
woman in Kenosha county interested
in the future of Wisconsin and its state
government is invited to be a member
of this county gathering and have part
in the selection of delegates to repre-
sent Kenosha county at the meeting
in Milwaukee. The county delegates
will provide their own organization of
the convention. The naming of the
delegates will be entirely in the hands
of the men and women who come to
this meeting. We want especially to
extend to the women of Kenosha coun-
" the invitation to be present and
have part in the deliberations of this
conference. Women all over the state
are taking an active interest in the
Citizens Committee and I believe that
Kenosha county women will want to
have their full part in a big move
ment."
1t was stated that there was no
routine program for the handling of
the county convention or the working
out of plans for the future organiza-
tion of the county along the lines sug-
gested. ''It will be a matter for CON
sideration by the voters present at this
meeting" was the suggestion. "Tne
Citizens Republican movement is a
movement by the people and not by the
candidates. The delegates at the state
conference will nominate who they
please for Office and no hand-picked
ticket will be arranged. The same pro-
ceedure is to be followed in Kenosha
county and in every county in the state.
We want the Republican party to rep
resent the will of the people who pay
the taxes and who must live under the
state government sent 10 Madison, and
not the will of few politicians who
are looking for jobs
FIND BODY IN RIVER.
