The ceiling was sprained when the
vote was announced and, it was quickly
made unanimous. At this juncture
Venus Arising From the Sea- was
represented by Howe Paige. vino placed
| in nomination for the office of county
attorney his brother attorney Louis +.
| Than, the mention of whose name
seemed to strike popular chord. John
| Long was, of course, among those who
made SecOnding speeches, and THAN
was about to receive the nomination by
reclamation when o. T. Erickson
captured the floor and proposed the

THAN Was There

Wings motion to make the nomination
unanimous was merely matter of
| form. There was a vacant spot just be-
| side Bernard Cloutier, and that gentle
man found it for the purpose of NOM
| mating f. e. Holbrook for county
auditor. while the smoky atmosphere
was rendered ragged by cheers. The
| nomination was seconded in a dozen
| places before John Long caught his
| breath and nominated Ed A. Stevens
| for the same Office. j. G. Haynes made
strong plea for Holbrook, opposing
| Stevens because his name had been
connected with the census matter.
While ballots were being prepared Ed
Stevens announced that he had become
a candidate on the assurance that
| neither Holbrook nor SartZ would run.
| Under the circumstances, he felt con-
strained to withdraw and move that
Holbrook be nominated by acclamatlon.
| The motion went through with rush.

the chairman's table:
Hon. c. NJ Foote. Chairman Democratic
| County Committee-My Dear Sir: | have
| Just been Informed of my nomination for
county auditor, and, while highly appre-
| ciate the honor, ain obliged to decline 1t. In
| doing this | feel as if I was practically re-
fusing the Office itself, as believe nomina-

| but have not ambition or desire for the po-
| sition and have SO stated to my friends
| whenever they have preached the subject.
| With many thanks for the nomination.

make the canvass. Very truly yours,

1t was moved that every pressure
| possible be brought to bear upon Hol
| brook to induce him to accept, and. in
the event of his continued refusal,
| authorizing the county committee
| to make the nomination. The motion
was adopted.
But few minutes sufficed for the
| nominatian of candidate for county
treasurer. Ben Davenport gracefully
presented the name of II. 0. Peterson.

mated by reclamation.
| Gus Wing made the speech of his life
in nominating DR.. Samuel Frledlander
For Coroner.
Howe Paige proposed DR.. William J.

to allow the legislative nominations to

During the recess the delegates from

his opponent. but Dwyer hustled dill
