Farley to his secretary he Immediately said:
at will be Johnny Vivian-couldn't get better
one" ana this seems to express the opinion of
every who knows the strenuous little worker
from Jefferson county. Mr. Vivian is friend of
Clear Creek county and it is worth something to
this county to have friend at court. Unless
mistake my guess the theory of organization and
results obtained this year will be a happy surprise
to Republicansm in all parts of the state

John T. Mallaieu, of this city, who was for ff-
teen years either chairman secretary of the Re-
publican state central committee of Nebraska, was
guest at the convention and watched it delibera-
tions carefully After it had completed its work
he remarked to Chairman Farley: at was the
greatest convention I ever in any state and how
you estimate anything but victory cannot
see."
There was one little scene witnessed in the con-
vention which best illustrates the character of
harmony and good feeling that prevailed. After
all the candidates for governor had withdrawn in
favor of Mr.. Peabody and he had been nominated
by acclammation Jim" Brown, DIR. Grass, Frank
Goudy and Sam Newell acted a committee with
out appointment to escort the candidate to
the platform. AS a result the people were afforded
an opportunity to all their candidates in line at

represented line of men, any of whom would
have made an ideal executive.

One week from today the county convention of
the Republican party will be held in Georgetown
and there is every to believe that it will
mind the old timers there of the days when Repub-

There is abundant enthusiasm this fall and from
every present indication the Republicans will find
it easy to pluck victory from the contest.

DIR. H. c. Haeseler, of Georgetown, is entitled
to credit for the good work done the state con-
vention. He is worker and the time will come
when the people will recognize his ability as
party worker and reward him generously.

Ed is convention to himself when he gets started
and the ready wit and fertile ingenuity has
its force at a state convention the same as it does,
at a county convention.
After all it appears to be pretty hard for our

Now let us have good big Republican club in
every camp in the county. Let the campfires of
Republicanism light the state as they never have
