Mass Republican Delegates Chosen at Weak Court House Meeting
A mass Republican gathering to select delegates for the state convention in Des Moines was held at the courthouse last Saturday afternoon. It drew few attendees, with many unsure of the date, and some left for the street. Chairman Junkin scrambled to fill delegate slots as costs deterred volunteers, finally securing credentials for John Davies, Frank Switzer, C M Junkin, David Hudgell, H C Raney, Henry Pickard, F O Danielson, Thos Bell, John Hisel, M D Baldridge, and Ed Glotfelty. No action on prohibition occurred, but Raney and Bald ridge’s positions suggest party unity to proceed. The ad also touts Dr King’s New Discovery for consumption with trial bottles free at Clarke and Junkin’s drug store.
