Fayette Progressives organize town club and vote on nominations
A large turnout in Fayette led to forming the Fayette Progressive Club with Mayor George Brown as president and Peter Jubb as secretary. Members debated state and county ticket nominations, leaning toward a partial or endorsed Progressive ticket, but almost all favored giving current nominees a chance to run first. The caucus opposed fielding new candidates for the state legislature, to protect Senator Kenyon and avoid muddling the body, while endorsing some alignment with Progressive platforms. Also noted is a visit by Mrs. With Dearborn and niece Alice of Stone City to Frank Ware’s home, with Alice staying through Monday.
