At the republican county convention,
at Elma, Saturday, the Ankeny and
anti-Ankeny forces lined up at the start.
E. E. Shields. Of Aberdeen, was nomi-
mated for temporary chairman, as repre-
senting the Ankeny strength, and Geo.
H. Emerson, of Hoquiam, was named
by the ants, and Shields was elected by
vote OF 100 to So.
A noticeable feature of this vote was
the inability OF @. F. White to hold the
Cosmopolis delegation against the
Ankeny work of Editor Pattison. 1t was
Mr.. White who placed Mr.. Emerson in
nomination, but, when the roll was
called, the Is Cosmopolis votes went to
Shields.
F. r. Archer, OF Westport, was elected
temporary secretary without opposition,
and committees were appointed on Gre
dentials, order of business and resolu.
tons, and a recess was taken until
l 80 p. m.
1t was two o'clock before the little
caucusing and buttonholing permitted
the calling OF the convention to order
The report of the order of business
caused ripple on the surface of the
otherwise quiet convention. The fact
that the nomination OF commissioners
was left to the last drew burst of elo'
quence from Editor Pattison, who cried
'jobbery," and moved that the nomina'
tons be made in the order of the call fol
the convention. This was defeated, and
the report OF the committee adopted. Ac
ton on the platform, the only live fea
ture OF which was the endorsement of g
railroad commission, was deferred unit
later, and the nomination of candidates
proceeded.
E. l.. Minard, in neat speech, PLACED
J. r. O'Donnell, OF Elma, in nomina
ton for state senator; Geo. H. Emerson
nominated A. J. West, and Az Stock
well named Geo. l.. Davis. The ballo
gave O'Donnell, 10, Dayis So, and West
| 13, and the Elma man was declared the
nominee.
Carl S. Weatherwax was renominatet
for treasurer by reclamation.
J. A. Graham and w. H. Hepfngel
were placed in nomination for sheriff
and Graham had walk-over, receiving
1861 to 171s for Hepfnger.
w. D. Campbell, for auditor, and J
W. Stamper, for clerk, were then nomi
mated by reclamation.
For assessor, F. r. Archer, of Westport
and w. G. Youngs, of Montesano, were
named, and Archer came down on the
home stretch at an easy trot. The vote
was Archer, 96, Young, 40.
DR.. Paul Smits, and DR.. Al Mcintyre
were placed in nomination for coroner
but after partial roll call demonstrated
the fact that Smits had the convention
hands down, DR.. Mcintyre was with
drawn, and DR.. Smits declared the
unanimous nominee.
For school superintendent. P. A. Viii
liams was renominated by reclamation
as was Geo. d. Robertson for the Office
of surveyor.
Ben. Grigsby, of Copalis, was nomi
mated for wreckmaster, after a few joculal
nominations for the position were made
An attempt was made to apportior
the delegates to the state convention
equally between the commissioner dis
tricts, but Ed. Benn protested, ant
easily showed how unequal this woult
be from the point of population, and de
feated the proposition.
