By late afternoon Sunday, Allen and Neosho counties Republicans will have a person to recommend to replace Ed Bideau, the Ninth District representative who died Sept. 5 at his home in Chanute.
Precinct representatives in the two counties will meet at 2 p.m. in the Allen County Courthouse assembly room.
Jim Talkington, Allen County GOP chairman, said a secret ballot would decide whose name would be forwarded to Gov. Sam Brownback for appointment.
