Neutral Republican Central Committee Votes Hands Off Primary
The committee decided Tuesday to observe a hands off policy at the April 27 presidential primary allowing organization voters to cast their own preference. No county office candidates will be chosen until after the presidential primary. They endorsed J. Harry Asmann to succeed himself on the Board of Elections May 1 and Charles H. Woellner as chief clerk to succeed Supply A. Butterfield who will replace Woellner as chief deputy clerk. The move favors General Leonard Wood over Warren G. Harding in this year’s GOP contest.
