FIGHT LOOMS
IN G. O. P. MEET
Selection of National Com
mitteeman Promises
Lively Battle

The vanguard of this end of the
county's delegation to the republican
state convention left this morning by
automobile for Wenatchee. One and
possibly two more cars will leave to-
morrow morning. In addition to the
regular delegates Kennewick's del
egation includes several who are
making the trip just to speak q good
word for Gardner.
The convention promises to be one
of the warmest ones held in recent
years. The big fight will be over the
selection of a national committeeman
to succeed Guy Kelly of Tacoma
King county republicans have always
been strongly opposed to Kelly and
they propose to defeat him with N,
C. Richards, Of Yakima and they are
claiming enough strength to carry
the convention.
Benton county's delegation Of 13
is unpledged on national committee
man and it is being claimed by both
the Kelly and the Richards forces.
Unless members Of the delegation
caucus in Wenatchee prior to the con-
vention and adopt the unit rule, Ben
ton county will probably cast di-
vided vote.
The Kelly-Richards fight will un-
doubtedly nip the aspirations Of some
candidates for places on the national
delegation. The national committee
man is not elected, by the conven-
tion but will be chosen by the IL del
egates to the national convention SO
it will be question of selecting del
egates pledged to one or the other
of the contenders for national COM
mitteeman. The national delegates
are to be chosen two from each con-
gressional district and seven at large.
One thing is certain the Washing
ton delegation will go to the nation
al convention pledged to vote for Cal
vim Coolidge, for 3S of the 80 county
delegations to the state convention
are pledged to Coolidge.

Regarding Saturday evenings
Meeting. the local committee has is
med the following statement: "While

they think is necessary, is there real
h any use Of breaking your back to
produce apples when you have no
0sy to sell them? Stop and think if
Il would not be better to give your
back rest and devote some of the
time to developing plans to sell your
fruit in order that your back may
receive some return for the work it

The meeting is open to all fruit
growers in Benton, Franklin, WalIa
Walla and Yakima counties and will
Be called to order at 7:30 sharp"
Lee M. Lampson who has kept in
touch with the development of the
plan says: "the first thing for the
growers to understand is that the
responsibility for organization under
this plan is placed upon the grower.
He must take the initiative for the
foundation of the organization is the
local unit. The plan of organization is
not from a central agency down, hut
nom the grower up. Unless the
growers in the several districts do
get together and organize their loc-
ais' there will be no Northwest plan

The Peoples Ice and Manufacturing
Company, was o ganized in 1904 with a

capacity ice factory was built.
p. E. Blaylock was the first president
of the company and OF that time Mr..

Blaylock left Brownsville in 1915 and
MI. Tucker became president, this be ,ng
the only change in the management
since the company was organized 20
years ago. The company buys cotton
during the season.
The present officers are =. Z. tuck
