secured his nomination by an unusually mar
row margin.
The chairman of the ward delegation, of
which Mr.. Lindsey was member at
tempted to cast the full vote for Parker,
but at the demand of Lindsey the delega-
tion was polled, six Of the votes going to
Branson. The result of the entire vote
was: Branson, 230; Parker, 220; with 226
votes necessary to elect. Had not Mr.. Lind
sey demanded the call of his delegation Mr..
Parker would have been nominated.
Jacob Rookie, a member of the last legis
lature from this county, was an unsuccess-
full candidate for county treasurer, his de-
feat being largely due, it is claimed, to his
attitude in the senatorial race. Mr.. Rookie
supported Thompson against the wishes of
bis constituents, and in his fight for the
nomination for county treasurer he failed to
secure his own precinct delegation, while for
representative he was the unanimous choice
last year.
The ticket nominated is considered a
strong one. All of the candidates for dis
trict judge are at present on the bench and
have made good records. Frank Waters, the
candidate for county judge, served three
years as police Judge.
The democratic county convention has not
been called and it is hardly probable that a
democrats will probably fuse with the popu-
lists, and attempt to elect one Judge of the
district, perhaps the county judge, and the
other officers of minor Importance There
Will be no fight made on two of the cand-
dates for judge of the district court.
