The child is born. It is not very
healthy, in fact, it stands on one leg.
Theo BJtkin acted as wet nurse and
the Valley State bank is its godfather
and it was christened by Banker Elliott
of NickersOn, and the A. p. AZ. of this
city. Nothing went as official unless
it bore that stamp and every nomin-
alton was dictated by that un-Ameri-
can orgaizatiOn.
The ticket nominated proved the
truthfulness Of what this paper had
said .some weeks ago that, the
local redeemers would trade any and
everything for the Office of county
treasurer, by the nomination Of Capt
Burns, commander-in chief of the Cow
Creek brigade, veterans Of 1913, for
that office.
The convention met at the Salvation
Army tent and was called to order by
Chairman de Jure A. NJ. Switzer, but
John Vincent sat directly in front OF
him to see that he acted right.
The first contest was over the selec-
tion Of temporary chairman. The law
and order fellows nominated H. l.
Wise, acting county attorney, vice
Fall, who can't; while the Mayor Vim
cent crowd nominated that prince OF
egotism, DR.. Coladay. Geo
Mitchell, of Abbyville, was also
nominated, but declined to let his
name be used, The vote resulted In
the election OF Wise-frst blood being
won by the Jerry Ballanger crowd.
To throw little sop to the liberal
element Elmer May, (son of Doc May
was chosen for secretary.

that committee Of i've be appointed
en- credentials. Amended by John
Vincent, that it be increased to seven,
who also moved that 4 committee Of
like number be appointed on rules,
resolutions, order of business and
permanent organization,
This brought a country delegate to
his feet who wanted to know, if Vim
cent would act as chairman Of the en-
tire list Of committees. This some,
what ratified the chairman, who, IN
fact, had just returned from Cripple
Greek, where, since that state has been
redeemed, ball fights are the order OF
the day, and was a little off on par
liamen;ary usages.
Old man Winnie, of the people, was
on the lloor in an instant, aud tax
ing up where the chairman had gotten
stuck explained to his own salts
faction, at least, why such motion
was made. After this had gone
through, the real Eight of the cOnyen-
ton took place and that was in
choosing delegates to the judicial con-
ventiOn. A motion was made to ap.
point a committee of seven to prepare
the list. This brought Keddie, of
Hayes township, to his feet, who
wanted the comfy" increased to one
from every voting precinct, This was
opposed by the cold water" fellows
who feared it would give Gleason a
chance at them.
The zone from every precinct idea"
the won day.
A recess of Is minutes was taken so
that the chairman could arrange tire
list for the committees. John B. Vim
cent had the list prepared but as his
man had failed to be chosen it was not
used.
Theo Botkin, the notorious Judge
whose neck cost the state $5O,00O to
save, as we'll as a burnt hand for jus

took the platform and while the crowd
was waiting for him to talk. ex
