city OF Ottumwa held their ward pri-
marles last evening and selected their
allotted number of delegates to attend
the township convention to be held at
the court house next Thursday even
ing at o'clock, where two candidates
for the office of justice of the peace,
TWO for constable, one for township
clerk, one for assessor and one for
! trustee will be placed in nomination.
j. A. Ballard and o. l.. Campbell are
the present justices in this township
| and E. M. Campbell and ]. G. Slaugh-
ter are constables attached to those
courts. The present incumbents in
office are against candidates for the
nomination on the republican ticket.
They have made good officers for the
past two years and should the con-
Ventlon see fit to again nominate
them they will make hard race for
any nominee on the other ticket This,
however, is not to be considered as
bar to any person entering the race.
The present incumbents are good men,
the people of their party and of the
county know it. There are others too,
but it usually is considered fair to
nominate officers for second term.
All four men are good staunch repub-
licans and If they are not accorded
the nominations will vote for party
success just the same
