A vigorous attempt was made to send
the delegation to the state convention
instructed for United States senators,
but the motion was lost. The sentiment
of the convention, seemed to man to be
for Rawlins and Thatcher. This sentl-
ment would undoubtedly have been eH-
pressed by resolution and carried but Tor
the unskillful wording of the motion to
instruct the delegation.
The convention was harmonious one
throughout and good feeling prevailed
Ringing speeches by Chairman Snow and
Sauire Baty were. received f9lth great
applause. The ladies seemed to enjoy
-tl1is their first. county convention. They
conducted themselves in a way that
plainly showed they had minds of their
own and would not be led blindly by the
sterner sex.
