the hope of many-both democrats and
republicans that some attorney Of

gained him the hearty approval of the
convention.

thusiastic, they we're beginning to

presented to the people, one could see
in the happy looks Of the delegates that
victory was in sight.

end of the county developed. that the
delegates had two men in mind for the
place. Mr.. Chas. Saul OF Paradise and
Mr.. Gustav Rabe Of Morgan were
placed in nomination Neither man
had sought the place, both, had ex-
pressed their willingness to accept the
nomination if rendered them. The
ballot resulted Rabe 7sl, Saul 521, and
the nomination was cheerfully made
unanimous by Mr., Saul and his
friends. Some one asked Charley after
the convention, if he was sore. "There
is not sore spot on me" he answered,
II am a republican, Mr.. Rabe is a
splendid man and I am going to do all
[ can to see him elected"
The supervisorshlp for the east end
was conceded to the people of the super
visor road district, now represented by
a Denison man. The choice of the east
end delegates was their fellow farmer
J r. Brockelsby and he was accorded
nomination.
