EDNEY ENDORSED AT G.O.P. MEETING HELD SATURDAY
Charles A. Jonas Will Likely Be Re-elected as National Committeeman
Charles A. Jonas, national committeeman, was endorsed for re-election to that position at the Republican district convention held at Burnsville Saturday. This position will be voted on at the State convention to be held in Raleigh tomorrow.
Calvin R. Edney, of Marshall, was nominated candidate for Congress from the tenth Congressional district, despite the fact that Uhlman S. Alexander, Charlotte attorney, is an announced candidate for that position.
Mr. Alexander did not attend the convention and has said that he preferred to make no comment until he had more time to consider the action of the convention. Should the Charlotte attorney decide to stay in the race it will necessitate a Republican contest in the June primary.
Killian Made Chairman
Yates Killian of Catawba county was elected district chairman to fill the vacancy caused by the death of H. Clay Cox of Mars Hill. Ira Plemmons was re-elected secretary.
Sam Cannon of Mitchell county and J. T. Setzer of Catawba county were elected delegates to the national convention in Cleveland. S. T. Roberts of Madison county and Marvin R. Ritch of Charlotte were elected alternates. Dr. Charles Peterson of Mitchell county was elected presidential elector.
Jonas Is Endorsed
Charles A. Jonas of Lincolnton, national committeeman, was endorsed for re-election to that position. This position will be voted on at the State convention in Raleigh Tuesday.
