This ticket was placed in nomination yes
terday by the republicans OF P~ottawatta-
mile county, and the list shows that the
present incumbents Of the several ofnces
to be voted on this fall captured the con-
vention with hands down, hguratively
speaking. The anti-third term resolution,
which 1t had been announced would be pre-
scented to the convention by one or more
Of the county delegations, was conspicuous
by its absence, and the gathering proved
a veritable love feast from start to finish,
especially for the oficeholders seeking re-
nomination. There was not the least dis
cord, at least none that appeared on the
surface. to mar the proceedings, and the
work Of the convention was transacted in
a thoroughly businesslike manner and in a
surprisingly short time.
These delegates were selected to the
state. congressional and judicial conven-
