The democratic convention held
ast Friday resulted in the nomi-
nation of Dave Childs for county
attorney and Hall and Gilmore
Cor supervisors. Other candidates
nominated, except [ w Evans for
clerk, who WAS not present,
promptly declined to allow their
names to go on the ticket and the
central committee was empowered
% fill vacancies on the ticket If
hey can find any one who will
accept the nominations. An iron
,lad resolution pledging return
t. the district plan of electing
supervisors WAS put through by a
large majority, thus adding some
interest to the balance of the
farce. The idea Of pledging men
who passed this business ny on the
county to rescind their action ii
nominated, then going ahead and
nominating them, savors strongly
of mere boys play. The candi-
dates who fathered the county
plan will not be liable to change
tl.eir action If elected; yet we do
not see how, in the face of such q
strongly endorsed resolution, they
can accept the nomination as par
ty candidates unless they stand
by it and do rescind their former
action it elected. Interest now
seems to center in the coming re-
publican convention at Missouri
Valley. What they will do with
he supervisor matter is the inter
esting question. The democratic
party in the county is hopeleesly
split to factions over it and the
indications are that the republi-
cans will follow suit and that the
deplorable situation of the two
sides of the county being lined up
against each other will be the re-
suit. just when the voters should
be thoroughly united in an honest
effort to bring the county once
more to substantial financial
basis, we are confronted with q
"house divided against itself"
with the inevitable result sure to
follow: strife, discord and section.

general among the voters of the
county that two gangs of selfish
politicians are striving for control

Why do not the people of the
whole county rise up in their
might and pitch both outfits out
eide the breastworks and put in a
set of men who will be controlled
by neither?-- Woodbine Chronicle.
