going to stand for anything of that
kind,
According to a call isued by the
leaders Of the Socialist party. 15 per-
sons assembled at the court house last
night and proceeded to business by
electing Thomas Nelson chairman and
L. J, Anderson, secretary. After sew
eral Of the members of the party had
made some remarks as to the advis-
ability of placing ticket In the deld
a resolution was introduced to the ef-
feet that 1t was not to the. interest of
the party to nominate a ticket. A vote
taken on the adoption of the resolu-
ton was unanimous in favor OF II and
the meeting having no further busi-
ness before It, adjourned.
A prominent spectator on the floor,
