In flowery speech J. L. Cater NOM
mated I. S. Mudgett for county auditor.
Chas. Keith seconded motion, and Mr..
Mudgett was declared the unanimous
nominee.
j. L. Cater again took the floor and
nominated r. NJ. Nicely (the Republi-
can nominee) for county treasurer. Mr..
Cater said Nicely couldn't help it if the
Republicans did nominate him, and
that he, Nicely, was a copper-bottomed
Democrat. Mr.. Neely's nomination
was made unanimous J. L. Cater
placed Louis G. Young, of Princeton,
in nomination for register of deeds.
He said Louis was a good boy and a
loyal Democrat despite the efforts of
Frank Campbell, Hen. Webster and
Hen Newbert to make a Republican
out OF him. Mike Carmody nominated
Johnny Goulding. But Mikes motion
did not receive a second. Mr.. Caters
motion was put to a vote and Louis was
nominated by majority of two, eight
voting against him.
The redoubtable J. L. Cater jumped
to his feet once more and remarked:
IF Milaca or Milo has no candidate for
county attorney have a man that I
would like to see nominated, I nomi-
nate G. A. Dickey."
A. D. Cater said Milo has a candi-
date, and that candidate is c.. A..
Dickey. I second the nomination of
Mr.. Dickey. The vote was unanimous.
J. O. Baker nominated James Price
for sheriff. There was no opposition,
and Mr.. Price was nominated by a ris-
ing vote, not more than half the dele
gates voting. ....
Hon. E. E. Price then proposed
Lester Kempton, of Milo, for clerk Of
court. The nomination was by ACCLAIM
alton and unanimous.
On motion of J. L. Cater the offices
OF Judge of probate, school superintend-
ent, court commissioner and surveyor

concluded that the Republican nomi-
nees for these Offices could not be i'm
proved upon.

crat for coroner, DR.. Fl. G. Cooney.
Will Bouck, the Republican nominee
for that office, who was present,
