some. He urged the party to guard its
self against boss methods and said that
ifthere was to be any machine in the
Democratic party in Brnle county to let
every Democrat in the county be a part
OF the machine. Mr.. Stransky made a
motion in effect that each commissioner
district get together and select two men
each to send as delegates, then allow
each of the reetowns in the county a
delegate each and one delegate at large.
This seemed to meet with popular favor,
and the idea was fairly we'll carried out.

between s. Winter and j.. w. Sanford.
