The above county and township tickets
were placed in onmination yesterday by
the democrats of Pottawattamie county and
| Kane township.
muehlen, jr.. called the convention
to order at II o'clock num-
Der of the country precincts were
not represented, but the delegates, with
the exception of those from James and
| Kane outside precincts. put in an ap-
| pearance during the recess for dinner. Mr.
! ZurmUehen named John p. Organ OF this
| city as temporary chairman, who on as
| suming the gavel said the convention over
| which he had been called to preside was tho
most important convention of the party
| coming as IL did just before the important
period of the campaign, and much OF the
success of the party in this locality de-
pended greatly on the work done by the
delegates there assembled. Continuing he
| said I'VE are at the threshold of what
| promises to be one of the greatest histor.
| ical campaigns and we can look forwarr
with great deal of hope to the comins
elections. We must not be content to ap
plaud the results in other states, but W,
ought to do something here. II is a dis
grace to our party that with over 5,OOl
| democratic votes in this county we arr
without representation in state affairs
When we say there is no hope in this stat,
or in this county for the democrtic part.
We show lack of confidence. We ugh
to go into the fight with the expectation
of winning, or at least of doing something
| Pottawattamie county was once a banne
democratic county and there is no reaso,
why 1t should not return to the fold th
fall. We should not nominate a ticket AM
then let ii drift along as best It can. Ever
democrat in Pottawattamie county shoul
lend his shoulder to the wheel and if tha
is done, | see no reason why the part,
should not be victorious"
