Especial to The Herald)
ogden, Sept. 2S.-The Republican
county convention nominated the above
ticket today. The convention was held
IN the county court house and was
rather a stormy one. One of the unique
features was what the country del
egates called 4 bunco game, by means
of which ogden City got a big majority
of the offices. Republicans are par
ticularly sore over the manner in which
after the convention had promised to
name two from outside the city. There
was a deadlock on the nominations of
commissioners, the country delegates
stubbornIy insisting on having two
from outside the city. At last a mo-
ton was carried providing that the
convention name them first, one from
the city and then two together Ito
represent the county, Then the city
as ST OF n n
son. a resident of Ogden, leaving the
country with but one commissioner.
There was a tremendous lot of kicking
over what some of the delegates termed
"a gold brick scheme and of the leg
isIative candidates three were sched-
Uled to go through by reclamation, but
there was almost failure in two cases,
the opposition being especially strong
against Allison, the head of the ticket.
The first effort to suspend the rules
and give it to him by reclamation
failed, but after some persuasion it
went through.
OF the fifteen nominations made,
twelve are from Ogden City. OF the
ten county officers, six were renC~ui-
nations, and one of the others was CIV
en- to a man already employed for a
long time in the court house. The only
two county officers turned down were
Commissioner Smith and Recorder
HendershOt-
The platform claims credit for pro
digious economy by the present cOun-
ty administration, but fails to do any
showing.
1t was after II o'clock when Chair
man Hanson called the gathering 10
order and Secretary L. J. HOlther read
the call. z. T. Hulaniski was named
RS temporary chairman and Al ToOne
OF North Ogden temporary secretary.
Mr.. HulaniSki closed a brief address
by saying he had no doubt that if the
campaign were carried on in a business
like manner Utah and Weber county
would be carried for the Republican
ticket.
On motion of Mr. GunneH the con-
vention provided for the three COM
mittees: credentials, resolutions and
permanent organization and order OF
business The convention took a re-
cess TO permit the selection of commit
tees. one delegate for each committee
from each county district and from
each city ward.
After the selection of committees the
convention took a recess till 1870.
At 1:45 Chairman Hulanisld tried tC
call the assembly to order, but IT was
2:10 before the convention wound heed
the gavel.
M /. Jones reported for the commit
zee on credentials. Every district was
represented but Riverdale and there
was q contest in Burch Greek. Mr.
Henninger claimed that he and his wife
went TO the Burch Creek SchOOlhOuSe
at o'clock and there was no one there
Mr. Herrick stated that ne, Mr.. Will
liam Simpson and Mr.. Robert Stimp-
spn went there at 7:15 and waited
till after 8 and no one came They
elected Al Herrick and William Stimp-
son the former being chairman, and
Mr.. Robert Simpson was secretary
They presented regularly signed ere
dentials. but the committee tried tC
harmonic the factions by giving Her
rick and Henninger a vote each. Her
rick led a vigorous opposition and the
report of the committee was turned
down. Herrick and Simpson being de-
clared the delegates and Henninger be-
ing Modified by election as an alter
nate.
The committee on permanent organ
iZatiOn and order of business through
Chairman Hanson named Z. IT. HuIan-

The platform adopted was:
The Republican party OF Weber county
by its delegates in convention assembled
declares its allegiance 10 the national and
maintenance OF the principles contained
therein The Republican party points
with pride and Satisfaction to the record
of economy and good government which
has characterized the Republican admin

Il the fact that all pledges made before
the election of 1928 have been fulfilled
fairs the cost Of maintaining county gov
eminent has pSen reduced. nOtwlthStand-
inE the extra work saddled on some OF
the offices, through legislative and judi
ciaI action. We call attention to the fact
that during the Republican administra-
ton the credit of the county has been
enhanced, until county warrants are
practically worth par, while during The
preceding Democratic administration the
1abOrers on county roads and the mer-
chants who furnished county supplies mad
to discount their warrants from . TO pei
cent We pledge the nominees for com
missioners 70 a careful, economic and
business-like administration. We pledge
the nominees for county officers to q
clean, honest, efficient and economic con-
duct of county affairs. and in connection
with this pledge, we call attention to the
efficiency and economy with which coun-
~ affairs have been conducted during the
last two years. We pledge our Legislative
nominees TO the enactment OF such laws
as will tend to the betterment OF all the
people, and keeping particularly in view
a law for the construction OF reservoirs
or other water supply, for irrigating all
the land fit for cultivation. We Iurthe.
pledge these nominees 10 the enactment
of a law, or the amendment OF present
laws, looking TO the eQuai distribution 81
the water supply and the protection of al
rights OF property owners. we call atten
ton to the fact that during the presen
national Republican administration TIT
interest and welfare OF Weber county ha
been materially advanced by the estab
