Some Good Natured Contests.
The republicans held their county
convention at Denison last Thursday
and placed splendid ticket in the field
All parts of the county and all classes
We're recognized and the ticket is one
of the very best ever presented to the
voters of the county.
The convention met at the city hall
at II o'clock and Mr. c. F. Rothe, who
made an excellent presiding officer, was
called to the chair Mr.. c. C. Walters,
of Schleswig, was selected as tempor-
ary chairman. On motion the usual
committees were appointed as follows:
On Credentials, R. W. Bamford of
Charter Oak; F. J. Gary, West Side;
JAS Maynard, Jackson.
On Permanent Organization, Hy
Wiggins. Dow City; S. Sandstrom,
Stockholm; j. w. Campbell, Manila.
Hon. j. P. Conner was then called on
and he made strong and enthusiastic
speech. Judge Corners address was
received with much enthusiasm and the
convention adjourned for dinner feeling
that the work was we'll begun.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
The first thing in the afternoon was
an address by Hon. E. L. Hogue, repub-
lican candidate for senator. Mr.. Hogue
is comparative stranger in Crawford
county and the delegates were de-
lighted to have opportunity of meeting
him. They were more than delighted
to find what sensible, practical and
altogether admirable man he is. His
talk was for republicans. He did not
go into any discussion of the issues,
taking .itfor granted that the delegates
present were ellfounded in republican
principles. He spoke of the necessity
OF organization and explained how the
work was done in Monona county
through which fusion majority of one
thousand was in four years turned to a
republican plurality Of four hundred.
His remarks were eminently practical
and he won many friends for himself,
both by his speech and during the day.
There is no question but that the repub-
licans of this county intend to stick by
their candidate for the state senate.
The report of the committee on
credentials showed that with the ex-
ception of Soldier and Iowa every pre-
cinct in the county was represented by
a full delegation. Morgan township,
which has not been represented in a
republican convention for some time
was greeted with applause and it is a
welcome sign that the German republi-
cans are beginning once more to take an
active part in the affairs of the party.
On motion the temporary organiza-
tion was made permanent and the con
vention was ready for business. Chas.
McHenry of Union and F. W. Meyers
were appointed tellers.
Hon. j. P. Conner then arose and in
a short speech presented the name OF
Hon. Hugh Langan for representative,
he also moved that the nomination be
made by acclamation. The vote was
hearty and strong without dissenting
, voice as the feeling of the convention
J was that a better man could not be
found. Mr.. Langan was called for and
his address was one of the features o1
the day He thanked the republicans
for the nomination and spoke of the
work of the campaign and his owl
| candidacy. Mr.. Langan impressed al
as man of strength and ideas, MAJ
who is honest in his convictions, who
had the experience to enable him to be 6
capable and forceful legislator and the
delegates We're unit in their belief
that when election day comes around
Hugh Langan will be elected as the
next representative from Crawford
county. In our next issue we will give
our readers an excellent portrait of Mr.
Langan and an account of his life.
Although several names had been
mentioned for the Office of sheriff there
, were but two nominations brought be
