NOTES.
St. Thomas, owing to the time
table of the trains is rather incon-
venient to reach, but the attendance
was remarkably good, for a conven-
tion which had so little interest in
volved as to local candidates or issues.
Mr.. Halcrow wanted to know who
was the best man for the delegation
to support for governor. Mr.. La
Moure. who was asked by Mr.. Hal
crow to respond, said in effect, that
Governor Allin was well known.to all,
and that Mr.. Bulge was an old timer.
that for his own part he was willing
to vote with the majority of the dele
cation for either or, ii they found a
better man, to vote for the better
man.
There was but little development of
candidacy for county Offices, but from
strong hints, 1T looks as though there
would be no lack of good material to
fill a complete county ticket when the
time comes.
There was no pronounced feeling
for any state candidate or for any To-
cal candidate for state Office. The
feeling seemed to be that develop
ments and contingencies yet to arise
would be taken into consideration be-
fore any positive stand would be TAX
en-.
This convention was as peaceful as
a deep-fiowing river; the next, we'll, it
will be more like the mountain brook,
but that will later join the river and
both flow onward to the full tide of
victory.
The delegates were instructed to
vote as unit and the delegates present
to cast the full vote Of the delegation.
