to the state convention should support
in turn the three candidates of the
county for places on the state ticket,
namely, L. B. Caswell for governor,
Jesse Stone for ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
and j. D. Bullock for railroad commits
sioner, and thus do the fair thing by
all concerned.

of a member from each ward, town
and village, was chosen, with George
J. Kispert. of Jefferson, as chairman

conventions were elected

The delegates to the congressional
convention were instructed, by vote
of IS to %, to support r. B. kirkland,

action of the convention occasions no
surprise, as 1t was just what was ex-

test between Mr.. Kirkland and W. II.
Rogers for control of the delegation
Most of Watertown's representatives
in the convention were for Kirkland
although there were few Rogers men.

American Protective Association receives
from reputable persons, nuns may again

asylums devoted TO the MODEST works of
