The committee reported that
James Larson, of Westline, had mis-
laid his credentials and recommended
his admission, and the admission of
w. w. Howe, of Granite Rock, in
which township no caucus had been
been held; which recommendations
were adopted.
After making the temporary organ
ization permanent, the convention re-
solved to proceed to nominations. G.
G. Peck, VIM. Kinman and Silas Web
or were appointed tellers.
G. L. Weber, of Walnut Grove, was
first nominated, followed by the nom
nation of O. B. Turrell. Frank Ken
ney seconded Mr.. Turrells nomina-
ton, and Jas. Larson, of Westline,
treated the convention to a genuine
surprise in short speech seconding
Mr.. Weber's nomination, dwelling up.
on that gentleman's army and prison
record and the fact that he was q
farmer who worked upon his own farm
when occasion called for it. Mr.. Lar
sons red-hot little speech may have
had something to do with the greater
surprise which followed, when the in.
formal ballot was announced to be-
for c. L. Weber 81, and for O. B.
Turren IS. The effect was storm Of
applause by Mr.. Webber's supporters
and undisguised surprise on the part
of Mr.. Turrell's friends. A delegate
from Springfield was then prompted
to move that the informal ballot be
made formal. This peremptory pro
ceeding came near going through, the
Weber phalanx voting FAYE" with :
strong pull altogether, but a large
sized negative following, the chair ex
pressed doubt, and was given the al
tentative of calling for a division o.
proceeding with formal ballot, and
chose the latter course, On the forma
ballot Mr.. Webber received 81 votes
and Mr.. Mr.. Turrell Al, and the latter
was declared the nominee.
The next tug of war was the nomin
alton for county auditor. Till Tibbetts
was placed in nomination withou
lspeech making, while A. H. Anderson
