The republican county convention
@hich met last Saturday nominated
the ticket given above, but not with
out two fierce contests which have
left plenty OF bitterness and bad
feeling.
Chairman Fuller OF the county
committee called the convention to
order at il o'clock. |. w. Bouck
was made chairman and Clarence
Raymond secretary. Every town
except Pulaski WAS represented.
The convention adjourned TO l:3O
to give tn. committees on perma-
nent organization time to report, al
so few oi the boys could te
seen.
81. n. Harding for auditor and j..
J, jacobson for treasurer we're
named by acclamation,
Then the sheriff fight came on,
with Ge;-. Wilson, F. 3, Stuart and
Christ Crest in the field. o. the in
formal ballot Wilson got 26, Stuart
"a and Crest 20.
The first formal ballot gave Will
son 3S, stuart p, Crest Is. Crest
then withdrew asking his friends to
support Stuart, but TO no avail, as
the next ballot nominated Wilson,
be- getting ii TO 35 for Stuart.
The fierce fight for register then
came up between Gaudet and La
fond. Tue inf rmAl ballot gave
G,ud-t fl, Latond 3S, but the hopes
III Gaudet were dashed to pieces on
the formal ballot, Gaudet getting
uuIy 3S to ~ for Lafouu. The usual
motion to nominate by acclarna1ion
received Il chorus OF noes.
y. Richardson for Judge OF pro-
bate. Frank Llndbergh for county
attorney. q. &. Trace fOr coroner,
T.. Sheldon for court commissioner,
we're nominated without opposition.
We understand Mr. Sheldon refuses
the nomination given him.
L. SignOr was nominated for su-
pprintenlent OF schools, refused it
aud A. T. Newman was nominated
instead.
In the first commissioner district
F. W. Lucas CT Randall was nOmi-
mated.
In the second district it was
thought Lon Harrison would be
nominated, as be had been promised
th- entire Second ward vote. but
Lafond asked that Rnbt. TedfOrd .of
Ripley be nominated, which was
done.
III the third commissioner dis
trict F. E. Cawley Was nominated.
Delegates to the Legislative con-
vention were selected as follows:
CB Buckman. W NJ Fuller. J W
Bouck. NJ NJ Williams, JOS Leigh,
| e A Hodge H Misfeldt. J N Carnes,
Nate Simons, W A Busbey.
The convention then adjourned.
1t is said Register Gaudet will run
as an independent. His friends are
! very angry over the nomination OF
Lafond.
The transcripts harmony factory
wasn't working.
!. It is unusual for delegates to 3
county convention to declare that
they will not support candidates
that have just been nominated but
there were several instances Of this
kind at the republican county con
ventiOn.
If Stuart and Crest had fixed their
combine before going into the con
vention and presented but one name
things mi ght have been different.
The Gaudet men say they wouldn' t
feef,so bad if their man had been de-
feated by somebody else.
Uncle Nate bluffed the leaders in o
giving him the nomination which
they claim he doesn't deserve.
