ment of humor entered into some OF
them, although it was evident from the
remarks made that the speakers were

| nominating 2 candidate made the as
! sertion that his candidate did not wear
/ kid gloves and drive a fast horse
around the country, saying the words
as if the wearing of gloves and the
| driving of horses were mortal sins,
which could never be forgiven. It was
| whispered around later on that only
1 the efforts of his friends prevented him
/ from making a crusade on clean shirts
and declaring that the practice of
wearing them was against all the
ethics.
The convention was held N the school
house at Murray, and was a well at
tended affair. Many ladies were among
the delegates. There were four candi-
dates, D. W. Moffatt, John Holt, AL
bert Spencer and the present incum-
bent of the office, Oscar Van Colt.
From the sentiments expressed at the
nominating speeches it was seen that
the fight, if any there was to be, was
between Van Colt and Spencer.
