save to select delegates and alternates
to attend the state convention to be
held at Des Moines August lst, and to
adopt declaration of principles.
The convention was called to order

county chairman, E. V. Nicholson.

Hon. P. E. G. Lally was made chair
man of the delegation. While the
committee was in the ante-room the
convention was entertained by mum.
Der of rousing short speeches which
elected much enthusiastic applause.
The convention was notable from its
absolute harmony, there not being a
note of discord throughout the entire
proceedings.
It is expected that Crawford county
will be thoroughly represented at Des
Moines, large number expecting to
attend beside those named on the dele
cation. 1t is the purpose of the repub-
licans of the county to present as
strong working force as possible for
the nomination of Judge Church. This
is done, not only en- account of the debt
of gratitude which this county owes
it's neighbors in Greene county for
their loyal support of Governor Shaw,
but on account of the warm friendship
felt for Judge Church. The Crawford
county delegation will also present the
candidacy of Hon. Thos. Rae for presi-
Dental elector and will earnestly urge
the recognition of this lifelong. hard
working republican.
The next county convention, which
will be one for the nomination of coun-
ty officers, will doubtless be more
largely attended, as it will be of more
local interest. This will make the
