Spencer Convention Nominates Geo Kinne On 30th Ballot
The Spencer convention selected Geo Kinne of Palo Alto county as state senator on the 30th ballot after long smooth balloting. Dickinson’s votes shifted to Kinne late, giving him a one-vote edge to secure the nomination. Kinne, a former Palo Alto recorder, thanked delegates and pledged to prove worthy. A Whittemore Champion note mentions a plan to unite nearby counties under one county seat at Whittemore.
