]. E. Robinson moved that the conyen-

the question before the convention. Mr..

putting up a full ticket. Robt. Taylor
said There must be a point when a pol
itical party takes upa party organization,
I am in favor of party nominations.
There are good men in the Republican
party, and yet when they will stand for
high license. they are the worst men you
can vote for. I think you ought to nom
mate ticket, if not full ticket, at least
ticket, because you will get more votes
for the state and national ticket. 1t will.
be bad step if you don't have county
ticket" Mr.. Ticknor Thought that We
had good officers and men that we could
endorse" Mr.. Ladd: '"The present county
officers may be good officers, but we must
build up the prohibition party. The soon
eryou begin, the sooner you will get COM
menced." Mr.. Mcknight favored putting
