PROPOSE MERIT SYSTEM
GRAND ISLAND, May 21 (UP)
The merit system for the state and
county employees was proposed to the
resolutions committee in the state
Young Republican convention here
today.
An other proposal was the erection
of a monument to General John J.
Pershing, commander of the A.E.F..
on the state house grounds at Lin
coln. State President William Stewart
Jr., of Lexington, who presided at the
business meeting urged organization
among younger men and women of
the G.O.P.
It was believed likely the resolu
tions committee would ask that more
consideration be given youth in the
party. The Omaha delegation decided
to nominate William Thomas, attor
ney for state president to succeed
Stewart. This was done on the re
port that out-state clubs believed an
Omahan should have the presidency
this j car. Other candidates mention
ed are Don Kellev of MeCook and
John Landis of Holdrege.
