The most intense interest was occasioned
by the result of Saturdays county conven-

attorney. Mr.. Root has now decided to
withdraw his name. He has presented his
resignation to the county central COM
mittee, which will meet in a week to Or
ganize, and win nominate a new man.
Just previous to the election of precinct
officers, Chairman O'Brien, of the former
county central committee, presented re-
port in which he urged that hereafter the
committee be made up of candidates for
office in order that they alone will be re-
sponsible for any deficiency in campaign
expenses. Mr.. O'Brien stated that he had
