ELYITES NAMED
TO State MEET
Young Republican League Has
Spirited Meeting in Duluth;
State Session, Mar. 20.

Helmer Olson, Albert Winnikainen,
Peter Moscatelli, and Loren Leino were
named as delegates to the state con-
vention at the meeting of the st. Louis
County Young Republican league, Sat-
urday in Duluth.
At the meeting, Donald Barnes, Du-
luth, was elected chairman to succeed
Gust Koski, Tower, and resolutions were
adopted opposing the Weber-C arley
per capita limitation bill.
The state convention will be held in
Minneapolis, next Monday, March 20.
Twenty-six delegates were elected from
Duluth and twenty-four were named to
represent the county outside of Duluth.
The returning delegates report very
spirited convention, scrap having
developed, headed by the so-called
regulars of the st. Louis County Young
Republican League and the so-called
Bumper group.
The scrap for chairman resulted in
the election of Barnes as chairman with
Harold Grinder, Duluth, the opposing
candidate.
Barnes was chosen amid shouts of
steam roller" "sandbagging" and other
endearing expectations. Grinder had
been named chairman of the rumper
group at a meeting of the Young Re-
publicans.
The fight between the regulars and
the opposition factions was character
lied by speakers for the regulars as an
attempt by the senior Republican camp
to dominate the younger group and its
policies. 1t was alleged that several of
the delegates seeking to gain control
of the convention had affiliated them
selves with the young G.. o. P. within
the last few weeks for this purpose.
Gust Koski, Tower, county chairman,
had originally named Mrs. w. G. Smith
to the coordinating committee which
consisted of delegates from the seniors,
the all-party group, and the young Re-
publicanS. The chairman then with
drew her name and substituted that of
Alfred Weinberg, Duluth, Eight district
chairman Of the senior group. This ap-
pointment created frIrore among the
regulars who considered it an attempt
of the seniors to gain foothold in the
younger G. o. P. organization.
KoSki later again made a change in
the coordinating committee member,
appointing Clarence E. Hager, Hibbing,
who was said to have received the sup
port of the Duluth younger group, in
strumental in opposing the Weinberg
appointment. The reason given for the
Weinberg opposition was that he twas
not sympathetic with the policies of
the younger group"

reaches everyone is an ac-
cepted fact. In modern times
education is not a luxury but
an essential. Libraries carry
on and give permanent value
to the work of the schools. To
the many who cannot go on
with their schooling, the library
in itself means an education.
Unfortunately libraries in Min
nesota do not reach everyone,
especially those who live in
small towns and rural areas.
To remedy this condition, Sen
ator Val hmm has introduced in
the state senate a bill calling
for state aid for county libraries
to the amount of $4,000.
