Fight for State Delegates in Daviess County
A split fight looms among Republicans on Saturday March 21 over the selection of delegates to the state convention. Watson and Hap Miller factions align against supporters of William L. Taylor with Washington township set to appoint seven delegates. Debates center on un instructed delegation versus dividing votes among candidates, with names like Thotess Nogeni Jack Lovie, Hervey P. Truwhead, Grey, Hastings, Setrit, and Mattingly linked to Taylor or Miller. Outside Washington, townships name delegates, Madison and Elmore likely backing Taylor.
