Myers, A. HI. Edwards, w. F. Copeland,

Sam Gardner makes good and hon
est presiding officer.
| John Lovelace was hustling around
advocating the convention passing the
resolution favoring increasing the sol
diers' pay. 1t is agood resolution and he
first brought it into prominent notice in
Audubon county and in Iowa for that
matter.
The joke is on George Gray. He was
enthusiastically for Mr.. Mosier for
comfy attorney and when Mr.. Brainards
announcement was made George nomin-
ated Mr.. Mosier and moved that he be
nominated by acclimation. Then he
partially forgot himself and commenced
to put the question saying "All in favor
of the nomination of Mr.. Mosier say"
That is as far as he ever got for the
whole convention caught on and joined
in the laugh. George laughed as hard
as any one.
1t was magnificent convention. The
delegations from the several townships
had been chosen by the most largely
attended primaries held for years. The
delegates were the representative men
OF influence in their communities. The
subject that had stirred them most was
that OF congressman and the convention
was practically unanimous on that sub
Ject, the opposition not making fight
after the delegates were chosen. The
delegates being chosen without particu-
lar reference 10 county candidates, they
came to consideration of that subject
with less feeling and with better judg
ment. Up to the very time of entering
the convention no states were made and
no definite plans mapped out. OF course
the denomination of Clerk Woodward
and Recorder Esbeck was not opposed.
But on auditor, on attorney and on
supervisor no plans were made. When
the time came to nominate the informal
ballot brought out in each case the
desires of the different townships. Then
followed the formal ballots until the
strongest man for the place was found
These selections were made in the best
of spirit and by these men of good judg-
ment comparing ideas, reasoning to-
gether, voting their preferences and
coming to agreement by successive bal
lo'ing. 1t is an ideal way to choose the
best ticket.
| H. d. Woodward, renominated for
clerk, has served two years and is uni
versally popular. He is very competent
obliging and honorable. He is we'll
known to the people and will doubtless
receive good majority.
A. F. Greenwaldt, the nominee for
auditor, bad no thought of being can
didate when he came down as delegate
Tuesday morning. His fitness and avail
ability had been discussed, however, by
some of his friends. He was born at
Guttenburg, Clayton county, and is
tblrty-three years old When fourteen
his parents moved to a farm and he
worked there until he became of age.
He then moved to Marcus, Cherokee
county, and farmed several years
when, deciding to get a better education
he went to Lincoln, Nebraska, and at
tended the Western Normal College
there for two years The first year he
took a commercial course the latter part
of the year assisting in instruction. The
next year he graduated in the normal
course with honors. He then taught
some time in Nebraska and in 1895 en-
tered into partnership with his present
partner, Mr.. Groteluschen, in the hard
ware and implement business. He
served in 1896 as mayor of Gray. In
1897 he served as assessor of Lincoln
township. He is now postmaster at
|
Matilda Prior, of Marcus. His relatives
live in Cherokee and Clayton counties.
He is of German decent and as this
biography indicates, he is we'll educated,
intelligent and successful. He is held in
high esteem and is an ideal candidate.
NJ. N. Esbeck, the candidate for re-
corder, has served but one term. His
name has come to be associated with
honor, faithfulness to duty and ability.
He is a strong man.
Mr.. Hanna, who was nominated for
county attorney, is we'll known to the
people Of the county being long time
here in practice. His ability, party fealty
and integrity are known to all the
county and we predict his usual success
