Repupllcan now than the man tnat
made the motion"
Mrs. Viewers Republicanism was
questioned, but she declared herself and
was allowed a seat.
G. w. Collins now put the question
to Weaver:
Are you not chairman of the Popu-
lists in this county?"
Weaver dodged the question saying
he had been a member of the state
committee, but that they had no county
organization.
Have you resigned?" asked Collins.
j. H. McCarty here obtained the
floor and suggested that as Meter sug-
gested voting the ticket
FROM THE NECK DOWN
he evidently did not intend to vote very
much brains.
"Well,' said Otto Cuddeback, of Sa-
lima, IF it comes to voting the head to
be Republican, am not one
The vote being called Cor, fortyfour
exclude Weaver.
The committee on permanent organi-
cation and order of business reported
DR.. w. II. Schock, of Burrville, for
permanent chairman and Miss Eva
Jensen, Of ElSlnore, permanent secre-
tary.
The committee on platform and reso-
lutions reported a platform endorsing
the present Republican administration
of the state and county, and especially
endorsing the work of James NJ. Boil
tho in the legislature and readopting
the platform of the last convention.
Thomas Gledhill, of Vermillion,
drought the charge of the Democratic
administration spending $4,000, 600, 900
was absurd, but he was promptly shut
up. Before the place of representative
was filled or delegates to the senatorial
convention named, the friends of James
NJ. Bolitho moved to instruct the dele
gates TO vote for him. The motion
failed to carry, but they decided to
STAY WITH BOLITHO
for the senatorship.
The seventeen delegates were then
named.
The place of representative brought
up the three names of w. H. Schock,
of Burrville, j. c. Jensen, of Elsinore
and Simon Christensen, of Richfield.
The fight was a, hot one but on the
third ballot, after plenty of wire pull
ing, Christensen won. For the COM
Hans Rasmussen, of Red
mond, NJ. A. Abbott, of Annabelle, and
Andrew Nilsson, OF Monroe, were nom
mated.
5. G. Clark was nominated for clerk
by acciamation.
When the recorders place was to be
filed, J. B. Jennings asked to hear
from the ladies of the convention.
Mrs. Bolitho replied, I'VE asked for
suffrage, not for Office and gave it as
the will of the ladies that they asked
no office.
j. M. Lauritzens nomination was
about to be made by reclamation when
]. H. McCarty objected to Richfeld
having everything, and named Nephi
Bates, OF Monroe, for the place; by a
tight vote the man from Richfield got
IT,
Salina wanted something, and now
tried for the assessorship; but John
Johnson, of Elsinore, got the plum.
For treasurr Richfield had two nom
inees. but Ians p. Hansen won over
Heber Christensen.
Things were now getting warm. John
w. Coons for sheriff and ]. B. Jennings
for attorney were almost sure of nomi-
nation. both being from Richfield, and
there was but little hope of dislodging
either.
ARE SARCASTIC.
salina delegates were sarcastic. The
various out-of-town delegations were
for anything TO beat Richfeld, but all
in vain.
Richheld wanted them both and it
got them.
When the nomination for attorney
came, J. S. Weaver was mentioned, but
it brought Oh ridicule.
When P. D. Schaeber, Of Salina, was
mentioned for surveyor, his supporters
asked sarcastically if Richfield didn't
want the place. 1t was well that nomi-
nations were now finished, or there
would have been an open rupture.
John Meter and j. NJ. Lauritzen
were elected chairman and secretary
Of the county committee.
Otto Cuddeback, one of the leading
Democrats of Salina, offers to bet a
team, buggy and harness that three of
the ticket will be defeated. The wo-
men say Mrs. Bolitho spoke for herself
alone.
James NJ Bolitho, when asked what
he thought of the ticket, admitted that
it
WAS GREATLY WEAKENED
by the loss of Salinas good will. S. G.
Clark was heard to say, Hogs are all
