the hbertyites were undecided as
to the advisability of putting a
list of candidates for county of
fices in the field. Many Of the !
party members thought the idea
foolish as the Communists already
had a ticket in the field which !.
had chance for election. o. B. +.
Hoven, Antelope businessman, one
of the bull geese of the party was
not SO hot for county candidates
as his son, Vernon, had been nomi-
mated in the primaries for county
attorney on the Republican ticket.
But the Hon. Bob Larsen, itcning
for an office himself, or maybe
aching to defeat the Communist
candidates, and a few of his fol-
lowers, Dob probably urged by
influential members of the Ecollo-
my League) insisted on nomlnat-
ing a ticket. Finally a meeting
was advertised in Harry Folks
Herald-a meeting and not con-
vention call-for Saturday after
noon and evening, September "a,
at both of which times, Rev. Dun
can, candidate for governor would
spean.
Convention Call Inadequate
This call did not state that the
meeting would be a mass conven-
ton of the members of the Lib
erty party, calling upon all mem
bers of that faith to attend for
the purpose of nominating a list
of county candidates, of drafting a
platform and program, electing a
county executive committee and
doing any and all things proper
for a mass convention to do, as
the law requires; there was in
other words no legal convention.
Nevertheless the so-called cOnven-
ton proceeded to nominate list
of candidates. The Honorable Rob
ert Larson Of Quitmeyer precinct
was chairman and John Shoal of
Westby precinct was secretary.
HOven Against Ticket
o. B. Hoven, the Antelope rep
= resentative at the meeting, moved
> that no county ticket be nomi-
e mated. Chairman Larson called
S for discussion. "Comrade 2" Lar
r son, himself, was for endorsement
e of a full ticket. After Delegate
e Larson had completed his talk
s which was quite extended, and the
others had made remarks, the mo-
ton by Hoven was rejected, and 8
motion passed to make nomina-
!, lions. In the arguments pro ant

,, according to a report of the con
/. vention in Harry Folks Herald, o.
Sept. 20, which paper is very clos'
