The chairman declaring the convention
ready to receive nominations for probate
judge, was suggestive that the time for real
business had arrived. In but a moment 81
lence reigned supreme, and wide open eyes
indicated that something was expected to
''drap." Under such Circumstances Mr..
Roberts, of Ninnescah township, gained the
the floor and in a few well-chosen words pre-
incumbent. J. r. Snively nominated w. I.
Buckner. He said that although Buckner
had not been in this county long he had
thoroughly convinced his many acquaint-
ances that he could be trusted and confidence
placed in him.

stated that many of the candidates were
strangers to a number Of the delegates who
were very anxious to see them SO he suggest
ed that they be trotted upon the stage for III
spection This by no means had a silencing
effect IN the convention. Many OF the can
didates about this time wore an ''excuse me
please" look which it was thought assisted in
nipping the suggestion which prevented it
from growing into motion.
Farmer Doolittle seconded the nomination
of Jewett After referring to the Importance
of the Office he proceeded to speak of the
rumor that he could not be elected if
nominated. As evidence that it was entirely
unfounded he referred to the election returns
of 'S2 and "a, when each time he had run
ahead of the ticket over 1900 votes. These
phenomena he did not consider indicated
that Mr. Jewett would either be defeated or
bring up the tail end of the ticket
The vote was then taken with the follow
ing result:
Jewett. ...................1 126
Duckner. ......--..........-. ......... 10
Mr. Jewett W as declared nominated amid
the first triumphant cheer of the day. His
nomination being made unanimous he was
called upon for speech by hundreds of
voices.
Il am profoundly greatful to you" he said
when a part of the noise had taken a leave of
absence This is the sixth time have asked
for favors and you have granted them.
think this will be the last time until take
little rest. l have all kindly feeling for my
opponent. He has treated me fairly My
success is probably due to the fact that l am
better acquainted in the county"
Mr.. Buckner was then called, who said it
looked a little unkind to call upon a defeated
candidate. He said there was q frinndly
feeling between him and his opponent, and
he intended to support the nominee heartily.
Messrs. Abraham Wight, CIR II Duling and
E. B. Dunbar were placed IN nomination for
clerk of district court. Their nomin ations

speeches, and the vote was soon taken. which
