nominations Tor all OfnceS 10 De uilcu a.
the fall election, with the exception OF
county surveyor. The latter was omitted,
and according to some, unintentlonaliy.
In the convention there were some who
favored making no nomination for county
clerk, but finally North Park township
man was put on the list. There were hne
distinguishing characteristics in the con-
vention, the one creating the most enthu-
siasm being the opinion of Senator Bent
ley on some of the questions relating to
state politics. After the county conven-
ton the Third commissioners district held
ii session, and after considerable excite
ment and supposed parliamentary, can
didate was selected.
IN CONVENTION HALL.
At 1920 the convention was called TO

Coats was made temporary chairman and
Z. 3. Threlkeld secretary. Gov. Glenn

REFRESHMENTS HOUR.
The members of the convention and
their friends of like faith and practice
seemed to enjoy the time adopted for re-
freshments. Until partaking of full list
they would talk about the big corn and
crops generally, and seemed to be figuring
on things earthly certain rather than
making calculations on uncertainties. Ii

committee on credentials would not be
able to stir up a row, and as to the COM
mittee on resolutions Judge Campbell
ventured the opinion that whatever the
committee reported would be passed with.
out a derisive whistle. In his opinion the
committee would pay its most profound
respects to Hal" or "Alco Hail." and
extend a few words of sympathy for the
dangerous career he is being forced to anc
make a "move'' to relieve their mutual
friend. He did not know whether the once
Industrious Grover would be referred to
or not, but seemed to think it would be
well to refer to him in a respectful ano
seeming dignified manner.
The court house corner seemed to be a
very popular locality 1t was in the center
of calculation. The crowd there seemed
to vary in size very little from the end OF
the morning session to the moment the
afternoon session was to be called. The
lemonade man reported sales less than
usual He said the Democrats would
not buy lemonade and the crowd
was so large his regular
customers had not the recklessness to risk
their lives in trying to force their way
through the crowd. The ladies almost in
variably took the west side of the street
not wishing to undertake the difficulty o.
passing through a Democratic crowd
County Treasurer Cartwright was smiling
beyond the region OF his hair for favors 81
far and seemed awfully happy to meet his
friends. Register of Deeds Brown was a.
the hand shaking corner telling the boys
to take the ticket like their whisky
straight-from his Office both ways. Cor
oner Percy was mixing with the boys and
said he would of course be nominated as
he had been most obedient and useful
county official.
Bv2 O'Clock the Democrats commenced
to hunt for the court room. Some of then
had been there quite often before, as few
of the Douglas avenue jointists were dele
gates. The seemed to be better at east
than on former visiting that room. BY
2:30 o'clock the court room was crowded
and many anxious TO get TO work. A few
minutes later Chairman Coats
