' The Independent sie of e party, however, endorsed Hoover arid the record of the Republican party with respect to helping agricaiass. Action was taken at meeting here to o1 jize the brett state central committee, of which the oe ms had 28 members and the Independents 21. Pursuant to the practice of ious years, and as a@ result of the Nonpartisan re- fusal to support Hoover and Curtis, the Independents organized their group separately and will lead the ‘ight for the Republican ticket as nominated at Kansas City. Nonpartisan action came on a olution to endorse Hoover and Cur- tis, offered by a committee of Non- pete which previously had con- erred with a committee of Inde- pendents. It was first tabled bya vote of 24 to 4, some committee men contending that it had been resented out of order. Later it was rought back this time it was beaten by a vote of 19 to 8. Nonpartisan backers of the resolu- tion were Stephen Terhorst of Don- nybrook, named by the Republican campaign organization for the mid- dle west to manage the Hoover-Cur- tis clubs in this state, Fred J. Gra- ham, Ellendale, Republican national committee man, and other Nonpar- tisans who had urged that the radi- cal wing of the party remain regu- lar in this campaign.
