MORRILL, and MOORE.
REPUBLICAN STATE C0NvEN.
TION IN SESSION.
The State Convention Meets at Topeka
and Gets Down To Business Nine
Hundred Delegates Present Strong
Ticket Assured.


TOPEKA, June 6-The Republican
State convention met at noon today
in Hamilton hall. Fully 1000 people
can be accommodated in the hall and
it was crowded to the last foot OF
standing room.
The 800 delegates were all on hand
and although there are some differ
ences of opinion among them they are
harmonious in the general idea OF adj
vancing the party's interests. Nearly
every one echoes the words of Major
Morrill, last evening: Whatever the
convention does l am certain will be
right and am ready to stand by it,"
The convention was called to order
by Chairman J. NJ. Simpson.
Ex-Congressman s. X. Peters, OF
Newton, was elected temporary chair
man; G. S. Martin, of Salina, secre-
tary. The temporary organization
was made permanent.
After appointment OF committees
the convention adjourned to $500 this
evening.
At the evening session first in order
was the selection OF central committee
which was only partially completed.
Nominations then began. For
associate justice Mr.. Biddle, OF
Minneapolis, put in nomination W..
A. Johnston, the present incumbent.
The nomination was made by acclaim
alton.
MORRILL, NOMINATED.
George +. Anthony then moved
that the rules be suspended and the
convention proceed to nominate a
candidate for governor.
I. +. Carver, OF Salina, stood on a
chair in the rear OF the room and put
in nomination +. n. Morrill,. During
the course of his speech he said that
he arose to nominate a man who
would relegate socialism and anarch-
ism to the darkness from whence it
came.
w. S. Stambaugh, Of Abilene,
placed in nomination George w. Mar
tin, Of Kansas City, Kan.
The first ballot was,
L. N. Morrill, 776.
G. W. Martin III.
The nomination was made unani-
nous. Mr.. Morrill, came forward and
addressed the convention which then
adjourned till 10 o'clock Thursday.
The indications are that j. w.
Moore OF Marion will be named for
lieutenant governor, with the remain
der Of the ticket in doubt. +. w.
Hoch withdrew his name for governor
yesterday.
There is a strong feeling in favor OF
ID. +. Shirk of Dickinson for State SUI
perintendent but location will cut
considerable figure in the ticket.
ID. w. NALL, OF Dickinson, is one OF
the members Of resolution committee.
