Voting Made Easy For Straight Ticket Or Individual Choices

Convention Nominates Hessell Seen As Proper Move
Critics claim Judge Hessell schemed to win a nomination at a convention held to name a Quarton successor. Spirit Lake deliberations showed support for at once nominating the second on the ticket. Hessell opposed the move, letters against it circulated, yet the acclamation nominating him reflected the district’s political realities. Republicans have no grounds for concern.
