Democrats Adopt Proxy Rule at County Committee Reorganization
The county committee adopted an amendment requiring proxies to be secured in the attendee’s own precincts to prevent city proxies representing rural districts. Attorney C. H. Akens urged harmony and argued Democrats can defeat Boies Penrose for the U S Senate by persuading voters toward Palmer. He linked hard times to freight rates and predicted better times after a court decision. Joseph H. Boyd was elected chairman and pledged a square deal. Retiring Chairman Harry Good thanked members for twelve years of service.
