Argast's Right Challenged
The convention was enlivened
somewhat when Mr.. Larkin took the
floor to challenge Mr.. Argast's
right to participate in the conven-
ton and be elected q delegate to
the state convention in view Of the
fact that he was active in the
formation of the Better Citizenship
association and took part in its So
called state convention here three
weeks ago, being endorsed as one
of the groups delegates to the ma
tional Republican convention. In
asmuch as tho wet" group plans
to put a full state and national
ticket in the field at the coming
primary, Mr.. Larkin contended that
Mr.. Argast could not support that
organization without opposing the
candidates Of the Nonpartisan
league.
CharacterizinS the prohibition
movement as the worst farce ecer
inflicted upon the people Of the Uni
ted States" Mr.. Argast said he was
interested in the Better Citizenship
association concerning its efforts ia
bring repeal of the state prohibi-
ton laws to q vote Of the people,
letting them decide whether they
want state or federal enforcement,
but that he was solidly against put
ting candidates in the field for the
various state and national offices,
He said that he and Senator Ole
Ettestad of McHenry county fought
the associations proposal to put a
ticket in the field, and that he wal
put on the ticket as 4 delegate ia
the national convention without his
consent.
Mr.. Argast stated emphatically
that he was for Senator Lynn j.
Frazier and would take no part IL
any effort to defeat him.
