was impossible to honor all of them.
No one claims that the nominations
were not legally and fairly made.
The candidates are all well qualified
to discharge the duties of the sew
eral offices to which they have been
nominated and are entitled to the
hearty support of every Republican
in the county.
The only person who indicated any
desire to do other than support the
entire ticket is Delegate John Rad
cliffe who quietly withdrew from the
convention after the nomination for
Clerk of Circuit Court was announced.
Mr.. Radcliffe announced just before
retiring that inasmuch as he was not
pleased with the nominations, he
would retire from the convention.

past four years, are not surprised
that ne left the convention because
the naughty delegates would not nom
