First County Progressive Party Convention Held at Court House
The inaugural Progressive County Convention met at the courthouse on Saturday amid rain and rough roads. P. H. Van Wyk was elected chairman with W. E. Abbey as provisional leader, while Henry Hyink became secretary. Delegates were chosen to the Des Moines state convention on the 24th, and committees were formed to draft resolutions and select delegates. The body endorsed Republican nominations won honestly, praised Senators Cummins and Kenyon, and backed Theodore Roosevelt. A collection raised 31.35 to fund party work as attendees discussed organization and future activities.

Two men were seen passing a package through a window, arrested later, and bound over to the grand jury on charges tied to aiding a prisoner escape. Thompson’s bond set at $1000 and O’Neil’s at $2000.
