Last Nights Primary Was an Enthusiastie
Bauer Convention.


Bauer Convention.
The most spirited primary election
that has animated the town hall since
the spring election OF 1895 Was held last
night, at which time delegates were
chosen 10 attend the county convention
which meets at Iron River today
ior the purpose Of placing IN nomination
two county road commissioners. IL has
long been known that Mr.. Jacob Bauer,
OF Crystal Falls, Is the unanimous choice
Of the people OF this side OF the county
for the long term conmissionership and
WAS on the account of the rally OF
"Jakc'sn isiends 10 his standard that
the enthusiasm was manifested. The
primary was opened by Mr.. X. B. Webb
being chosen chairman. This was ac-
complished by ncclanation. After the
election OF the subordinate officers the
following delegates were chosen. the
choice OF the first. second and fourth
having been by acclamation:
MARTIN BACH.
n ROBERT Il. WERB.
CHARLES H. WATSON.
CASPER ABERLE.
There was no instruction OF delegates,
but those elected are known to be
Bauer men--llrst, last and all the time.
Hematitc will be represented in the con-
vention by Mr.. Chas. Il. Lawrence; Mas
todon, Samuel G. Bennett and Mansfield,
Benjamin #. Davenport. The latter
three are also pronounced Bauer men,
which renders Mr.. Baucr's nomination
well nigh assured. Such action ON the
part OF the Republicans at Iron River
today will call forth the commendation
OF the people OF the county OF Iron as N
unit. There is no doubling Mr.. Bauer's
qualification for the office while it is a
just recognition in county politics Of
that sturdy and stalwart element Of the
Republican party in Iron county of
which Mr.. Bauer is reprcsentative-thc
