GREEN GETS 1T
The Audubon Lawyer Nominated for Judge
by the Republicans.

|
w. r.. Green, of Audubon, was NOM
mated for district judge in place of
Judge Lewis, of Glenwood, by the Re-
publican convention for the 18th judi
ciai district held in Red Oak last Tues
day. A. b. Thornell of Sidney and
Walter L. Smith of Council Bluffs were
re-nominated for district judges by the
convention by reclamation.
The convention was held at the court
house. On the wall back of the judges
chair was portrait of Gov. Mckinley,
of Ohio, with large national flag as a
background.
The convention was called to order
at 2:O5, p. m, with most of the dele
gates in their seats. A. E. Cook, of
Mills county, chairman of the district
committee, named ID. o. Stuart, of
Shelby county, as temporary chairman,
and Mr.. Stuart made wee bit of a
speech. He said it was an unwritten
law that the judges do not take part
in campaign discussion, and he did not
feel like making speech. But he
would remind the convention that
while it was an appalling surplus
when the republicans were in power at
Washington it is now an appalling de-
ficit. He was reminded of a story. A
gentleman in travelling came to where
the road forked. Inquiring which
road to take, he was told: eff you take
this road you will find it hard and
rough and will wish you had taken the
other; but if you take the other road
you will wish you were in hell before
you get back" The country, the chair.
man said, took the other road. But
this district did not and would not.
S. F. Myers, of Cass county, editor of
the Anita Tribune, was chosen tenn
porary secretary.
Then the roll OF counties was called
for naming the committees on creden-
tials and permanent organization and
the central committee for the ensuing
year. The roll was called in this order:
Audubon, Cass, Fremont, Mills, Mont
gomery, Page Pattawattamie and Shell
by, and the committees are given in
that order.

A recess of about 40 minutes was
taken while the committees were out.
Finally the committee on credentials
brought in its report. 1t gave Potta-
wattamie county % delegates, instead
of the 81 allowed in the official call for
the convention, explaining that mis-
take had been made in computing the
vote of Council Bluffs. The usual rec
ommendation that delegates present
be entitled to cast full vote of their
counties was made. The report was
adopted without objection.
The committee on permanent organ
ization reported recommendation
that the temporary organization be
made permanent, and the convention
acted IN accordance with the recon-
mendation.
1t was voted to proceed to nomina
ton of candidates. Judges Thornell
and Smith were renominated by &C.
clamation. Then the roll of counties
was called for naming candidates for
the third judge. Audubon county
named w. r. Green. Mills county
named w. S. Lewis. In the call of
counties for the ballot Cass wanted to
pass, but Fremont insisted on waiting
until Cass was ready to vote. The fol-
lowing shows
