UNANIMOUS FOR KELLOGG

Fred Newton Elected County Chair
man; Delegates to State and Con-
gressional Conventions Chosen.
The delegates to the Mile Laos
county republican convention assem-
bled in the Princeton armory at 1
o'clock Saturday afternoon. The
county was fairly we'll represented al
though travelling conditions were I'M
favorable. It undoubtedly was fortu-
nate that Princeton had been selected
as the place for holding the conven-
ton because driving was almost i'm
possible, buses were not running and
the train service north is most incon-
venient for a day meeting. Pease
sent complete delegation and all
the Milaca delegates, except one, were
present. It is regretted that the
northern end of the county did not
have a larger representation.
The convention was called to order
by the former county chairman, Fred
Newton. The secretary, A. J. Ander-
son read the duties and the powers of
the convention.
Election of the temporary chairman
was then in order. E. L. Mcmillan
moved that the delegates who had
come from some distance, those re-
siding outside of Princeton, be grant
ed the privilege Of selecting this chair
man. Fred Newton was the unani-
NOUS choice of the visitors. Mr.. New
ton was given a second. unanimous
vote, as was also A. J. Anderson,
when it was moved that they be re-
elected as county chairman and secre-
tary.
The chairman requested that the
delegates of each township elect their
precinct committee. A short recess
was taken in order to give the repre-
sentatives of the various precincts an
opportunity to consult together. The
following precinct committees were
chosen: Princeton township, Floyd
K. Boyne, Mrs. Oscar Stark, Mrs. VIM.
Lipp, Henry Kunkel. o. D. Orne;
Greenbush township, Mrs. A.. E.
Grow, Ed. L. Saxon, Mrs. Henry
Sager, John H. Grow, T. W. Thomp-
son; Milaca village, George Van Rhee.
F. P. Morneau, Knute Ellingboe, Mrs.
E. I. Davis, Mrs. o. C. Myron; Prince
ton village, Mrs. H. c. Cooney, George
I. Staples, Odin J. Odegard, Grace
Stanley, Grace A. Dunn.
It is important that each precinct
elect it's committee at an early date.
In precincts that were not represent
ed at the convention, the delegates
should meet within the next week or
two and select their committee. Chair
man Newton announced it would be
we'll to elect five members in village
and in any precinct that casts q
heavy vote. Probably committee of
three could handle the work in terri
tory that is more sparsely settled. AS
has been stated before, the republi-
can leaders desire that the women re-
ceive equal recognition with the men
in the coming campaign and delegates
should therefore remember that it is
desirable to have at least one woman
on every precinct committee. The
chairmen Of the precinct committees
will be members OF the county COM
mittee.
The following delegates were elect
ed to the congressional convention:
John Thallberg, A.. H. Johnson, F. P.
Morneau, Knute Ellingboe, Grace A.
Dunn, F. J. Newton. The delegates
elected to the state convention were
c. w. Burnhelm, George Van Rhee,
w. B. Hagman, E. I. Davis, Grace A.
Dunn, F. j. Newton, Odin J. Odegard,
! Sidney Berggren. Each delegate has
to pay his own expenses. The choice
of delegates was rather limited be-
cause it seems that only delegates to
the county. convention can be sent to
| either the congressional or state con-
vention. Moreover, the attorney gen.
eral has ruled that there can be no al
ternates to either convention. It was
therefore necessary to choose dele
gates who would not fail to attend.
The fact that court is in session also
eliminated some possible candidates,
the attorneys and those individuals
who are so fortunate as to have been
summoned for jury duty.
The delegates to the state conven-
ton were not instructed but there was
no division of sentiment. Mile Laos
county will cast solid vote for
Frank B. Kellogg and for J. A. O.
Preus.
