The convention was called TO order
by n. L. Noble, chairman of the county
central committee.
Prayer was offered by Rev. Sander
son. of the NJ. Z. church, of Medicine
Lodge. 1t was a close-cOrporatiOn
prayer and only asked blessings on the
Republican party and its nominees,
Harrison and Morton. 1t was, in fact,
a political speech addressed to the
Deity and perhaps did not get outside
of the court house walls.
The call for the convention was read
by the secretary of the committee, l..
NJ. Axllne.
On motion of j. W. Dobson, Geo. w.
Ellis was elected temporary chairman.
Mr.. Dobson and Mr.. Overstreet were
appointed committee to escort Mr..
Ellis to the chair. Just as George was
about to commence his speech, with
which he was evidently loaded, Steve
Oliver, of KiOwa, called for music by
the band. and the Walton Hitchcock
Gregg baud proceeded to torture the
crowd for few minutes. But George
got in his speech, just as hard.
w. G. Charles. of the Kiowa Journal
was elected temporary secretary, and
l.. NJ. Axline as assistant.
Oscar Haberline moved that the tenn
porary organization be made perman-
ent. Mr.. Overstreet opposed the mo-
tion and wanted the common custom
followed. Mr.. Dobson thought that
Haberline's motion supplementary
as did Chairman Ellis and so it was
withdrawn.
Mr.. Overstreet then moved that the
chairman appoint a committee of FIVE
on credentials. Carried.
Committees on permanent Organiza-
ton, order of business and resolutions
were also called for and the chair fished
out of his pocket the lists already pre-
pared by the caucus of the Medicine
Lodge delegation Friday night and an
nounced the committees as follows:
