[Clinton Herald.l


city last evening and in an Interview
With a representative of the Herald,
gave a version of the Jackson county re-
publican convention that differs some
what from others that have been given
out. Mr. Campbell is an old-time re-
publican leader, with reputation for
fairness and for lighting when a real
contest is on hand.
In regard to the convention he says,
that the majority followed the estab-
lished precedents of republican conven-
tions for many years and that every
thing was entirely regular and he is
confident no fair committee would UNI
seat the delegates chosen.
According . MIR Campbell, when the
convention was called to order by coun-
" chairman. DR. Littlefied, motion
was at once made by an anti-Cummins
delegate that ID. ID. PreauliX be the
temporary chairman. The committee
man said that it was his duty To first
read the call, which he proceeded to do,
after which he announced that ~. L..
Bartholomew would be made temporary
chairman. An attempt was made 10 re-
new the nomination of the Cum
Minis man, but there We're such loud and
persistent calls for Bart" that the dele
gates voice was drowned and the mo-
ton Was NOT pressed
Then j. C. Campbell made motion
that "A committee of one from each SUI
pervsor district be appointed on ere
dentials. "A substitute was offered that
the committee consist of three, the NOV
