Says He Will Not Accept q Nomination.
The Republican primaries last night for the
selection Of delegates to the State convention, 10
be held Aug. 8. and to the Seventh district con-
eressional convention. the joint senatorial con-
~vention, and the joint representative conven-
ton, which occurs at Shelbyville next Wednes-
day, called out more party workers and voters
than have attended such meetings for years.
The unusual attendance was not because there
we're any contests in the selection Of
delegates, for there were none, but
was due solely to the enthusiasm among
Republicans. In some wards every voter was
out. and with them were many who have here
tofors acted with the Democratic party, but who
propose to support Harrison and Morton and
the Republican State ticket this year. In sew
eral wards one set Of delegates was selected to
represent the voters at the congressional. joint
senatorial, and joint representative conventions,
as all these meet on the same day and at the
same place. Other wards combined their sena-
toriaI and representative delegations. while
some selected four sets of delegates. The dele
