The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1902-05-16

Ottosen in few brief words of COM
mendation.
"Io remove any lingering doubt as
to Congressman Conner's nomination
being seconded" B sallinger OF Car.
roll county delivered one of the really
clever addresses of the convention. He
spoke feelingly and with a personal
knowledge of Congressman Conner's
growth in the sterling qualities of
citizenship and state craft. He out.
lined his advancement from strug.
Cling lawyer to his present proud pre-
emlnence in public life, in felicitous
phrase and we'll rounded periods that
won the enthusiastic applause of the
convention.
Editor Howard of Winnebago, ] W
Foster of Humboldt, and Henry Haag
OF Green county, followed with brief
speeches, seconding the nomination.
Chairman Ingham then placed the
question before the convention and it
was unanimously adopted by rising
vote.
Judge Conner was brought into the
convention hall by the notification
committee, composed of c. 7. T. Ma
son of Boone, Geo Hanna of Kossuth,
and L. 81. Mayne of Emmetsburg. He
was received by the convention with
enthusiasm and was at once introduced
by Chairman Ingham. By his manner
fully as much as by his speech, Judge
Conner showed his deep feeling of
gratitude for the honor the convention
had bestowed upon him. He declared
with apparent feeling that if he failed
to adequately express his appreciation
in words, it was because he had not
the ample command of language to do
| it,
Mr.. Conner compliMented the state
OF Iowa upon its position in the conduct
OF national affairs, and counted it an
especial honor and a great response
olllty to succeed man whose very
predecession is sufficient to embarrass
any ordinary man. After reciting the
many places of responsibility held by
lowans in the national government.
and paying high tribute especially to
Senator Dolliver, Secretary Shaw, So
l4citor O'Connell, the Director of the
Mint, Mr.. Roberts, and others, Mr..
Conner considered national questions
briefly. He recited the history of the
attempts of the democratic party at
national government, and the many
elanders OF that party in Its financial
policies, and then led up to the pre-.
sent position of the parties on the
policy OF the country towards the
philippines. His remarks were we'll
received by the convention.
The selection of A M. Adams, editor
o. the Humboldt Independent, as tenn
porary secretary OF the republican, on
ventlon, was aattering tribute to that
veteran in the ranks of Tenth district
newspaper men. The honor was the
more notable, coming as it did, whollps
unsought, but was worthily bestowed.
Editor Adams is convert to the re-
publican faith, but is most firmly
grounded in the abiding principles of
the party OF progress and prosperity.
His selection is a compliment to Hum.
boldt county and to the newspaper pro.
fession of the entire Tenth congress
sional district. Mr.. Adams has been
secretary and treasurer of the Upper
Des Moines Editorial association since
It's organization.
The following telegram from sen.
ator Dolliver was received before ad-
tournament and read to the convention
ny Chairman lngham:
