For few minutes it looked very
much as if the Republican county
! convention, held at the court house
| Saturday afternoon, was going to re-
mind one of the ''bygone" days, but
through the diplomatic endcavors of
temporary chairman Thomas Erwin
ably assisted by Frank Arnold and
John Morrison the threatened storm
was averted.
f. B. Berman was the choice of
the convention as permanent chair
| man, and permanent chairman Of the
county committee as well. c. L. Peg
Glow was chosen secretary of those
bodies, with William Zauche of Baud
cite vice-chairman of the county
committee and Mrs. George Erickson
assistant secretary.
The nominating committee as ap-
pointed by Mr.. herman comprised
the following: r. c. Bailcy,chairman

E Iuard Meter.
The committee on resolutions was
as follows: John c. Parker chairman;
Frank Arnold, Ed. Paulson. George
Rhea, Louis Tegncr, r. A. Cross, Mrs.

The convention will send No in
Structcd delegates to the congrcssion-
al or state convention, but the entire
delegation is practically agreed on
present state and national incum-
bents. Although the delegates
strongly favored the endorsement of
Miss Eloise Calihan for clerk of the
Supreme Court, it was thought best
to send them uninstructed for any
office holders. =" - a., $ls5'-
