FLOYD MEYERS ELECTED G. O. P. COUNTY CHAIRMAN

At Harmonious Meeting Saturday by Co. Central Committee. •- r , Floyd Meyers, secretary-treasurer of the National Farm Loan Association, of Rensselaer, was elected Jasper County Republican county chairman last Saturday afternoon at a harmonious meeting of the County Central Committee, held at the court house. He will head the county organization until after the primary election, after which the county committee will again elect officers. The vacancy in the leadership of the Republican party in Jasper county was created by the resignation of Attorney Emmett Laßue, who has announced that he would be a candidate in the primary election for the office of judge of the Jasper circuit court. Mr. Laßue has served his party well through two elections and in the face of terrific opposition has succeeded in holding Republican majorities in this county. He was also instrumental in getting the district organization to back Charles A. Halleck for congress in the special election which was won by Mr. Halleck, and later at a general election Mr. Halleck again won hi seat. Mr. Laßue leaves the party in excellent condition. No rifts appear in the organization and preparation are under way for a vigorous fight this year. Keener township representatives on the county central committee are Mrs. Wm. Recker, Mrs. George Hockney, Tom Swart and J. B. Cox. Mr. Meyers, the new county Republican chairman, has* never aspired for a political office. Although he has been asked to make the race for several county offices at different times he has never done so. His popularity in this county and his ability as a leader, together with his zeal for the Republican party, made it necessary to draft him for the job of county chairman: The name of Cecil Alter, of Union township, was also ed to the county committee as a possible candidate. Only one vote was taken, the count being 29 to 18. Mr. Alter immediately asked that the vote be unanimous, which was done. Mr. Meyers is a member of Rensselaer school board. He was formerly principal .of the Rensselaer high school. He is active in the American Legion work, and is a fluent speaker. He is-widely acquainted in this county and will no doubt make a successful chairman. Mr. Laßue was not present at the meeting Saturday, but in a letter to the vice-chairwoman, Mrs. Cora B. Gaines, he thanked the committee for their help in making his term successful.
