w. A. Umbarger and J. A. CorkiI were
appointed by the chairman to act as tel
lerS, and the convention then proceeded
to take an informal ballot for candida
ties for the nomination. The result of this
ballot was as follows: George w. Tea
were suspended and Teagarden made
the nominee by unanimous vote.
After repeated calls on the nominee,
the chairman appointed M. B. Tomblin,
e. P. Wright and S. Boughman a com
mite with full power to bring the next
commissioner from the Second district
into the convention. While the COM
mittee was absent calls were made for
George Austin to make an informal
address. He was escorted to the plat
form and talked for a few minutes on
the issues of the day, making an earn
est appeal to the voters to do what
could only save this great republic
from the same fate as Rome, vote with
the reforms.
Mr.. Teagarden was then introduced
and thanked the convention for the
honors conferred in a few pertinent
words. The convention then adjourned
to eat the watermelons which the COM
mittee had captured some where while
in search of Mr. Teagarden.
Mr.. Teagarden is too well known to
all to need any introduction He is the
present incumbent and has always
filed the position in a faithful and
business-like manner We predict that
he will be elected next November and
viii in the future, as in the past, serve
the interests of Sherman county as he
woulo his own
