Whittemore caucus turmoil with rival tickets and chatter
GEO. BOYLE'S COLUMN notes Whittemore city caucus at the opera house drew about eighty, with two rival tickets forming for mayor and council. The piece mocks smoking and talking, hints at a Minneapolis trip, comments on local figures like J. M. Farley and Charlie Griggs, and mentions E. J. Van Ness as county attorney candidate. Friction over procedure and plans for a banquet and political talk frame the lively local scene.
