Three-term Howard County Council veteran Charles C. Feaga was chosen to return for another two years to represent the sprawling western county last night in a closed-door vote of the nine-member county Republican Central Committee.

The 71-year-old farmer and politician was chosen from among five applicants to fill the vacancy, beating out a bevy of younger contenders, all of whom waited nervously together for the outcome in a third-floor Columbia office lobby.

Feaga is scheduled for confirmation by the four County Council members at a public hearing Monday. He would replace Allan H. Kittleman, who resigned Oct. 20 to take his late father's seat in the state Senate.
