The Republican County Central
committee met at the Register of
Deeds office last Saturday and select
ed delegates to the convention at
Wichita March 10: Delegates-G. w.
Cross and A. S. Peacock: alternates
George Baker and Hiram Griffith.
1t is thought by good many that
Cove county should be entitled to one
of the delegates to the national con-
vention. Cove county has been in
the past very delicate about asking
for anything, and as we have no
Judge, governor or Z. S. senatorial
timber in the county. would be salts
fed to be honored with delegate to
the National Republican convention.

According to the Free Press, Judge
Monroe in passing sentence on KerfuS
"admonished him and the audience to
Remember the golden rule and let
Intoxicating drinks alone" Either
the Free Press was mixed in his re-
port or our district judge is not so
high up in theology as we would like
to see him.
We too have been looking up the
records little and find that ''Windy
Ben" paid exactly S1.71 personal prop
erty tax in 1895. Some of our friends
in the country will doubtless wonder
if there might not be an explanation
right here why there taxes are so
high. OF course somebody has to pay
them.
"Windy Benz SAYS in last weeks
independent that he once had dog
which he called Jeff Davis and which
was inclined to be ornery and make a
great deal of fuss on certain occasions
although kick would always silence
him. ''Windy:s'' dog evidently had
more sense than ''Windy" himself be-
cause the harder you kick "WindY''
the louder he yells. There dosen't
seem to be any similarity between
Windy" and cleft Davis" and the
difference is all in favor of the dog
Windy" is not happy in his illustra-
tions.
Who is going to help Webb McEall
represent this district at st. Louis?
Gaylord Herald.
They say j. e. Reeder but we are
not so powerfully certain that either
one will do the representing if any
one else wants to go. Our boys over
this way think j. Fl. has Il good job
and Webb has been honored. So let
some of the other boys have a show

Our Republicans here feel the same
way and think it would be only fair
to pass these farors around.
The Republican Central committee
of the Sixth district held a meeting
at Colby on February 18th and tdecid-
ed to hold but one convention 20 nom
mate candidate for congress and
two delegates To the national conyen-
ton. After number OF ballots Hill
City was declared the place and May
18th time TT holding the convention.
The basis Of reputation was fixed ut
one delegate at large from each coun-
tv and one for each POO votes cast for
w. G.. Edwards for secretary OF state
at the last general election. This
gives Trego county two delegates.
The sentiment of the district as ex-
pressed at the meeting seemed 10 be
pretty evenly divided between 4. Ii.
Ellis and 4. w. Recder.
