To the HERALD-REVIEW: As delegates elected to the County Republican convention at the pri- maries held last Monday we desire to refute a statement which has. been sent from Grand Rapids to the Twin city papers by A. G. Bernard. That individual asserted that the primary delegates to the connty convention were pledged to Clough for governor, and we desire to emphatically state that we are pleaied to no man or set of men, and turthermore we do not desire the impression to go abroad that A. G. Bernard controls our act- ion in any manner. We are free men and propose to act according to the dictates of our own consciences. It does not necessarily follow that the Itasca delegation will be opposed to Governor Clough, but it will be de- cidely opposed to Bernard: 8. Huson. Louis Fremont. O. F. Toombs. J. B. Roy.
