wood and Walter Puckey.
The nomination of Stoy E. Ware. of
Clifton, was simply a circumstance.
Captain James Smith, of Garfield town
ship, Wares opponent for the Aomtna-
ton, received 112 votes to Wares l09
on the first ballot but Smith failed to

@. Royce, manager of Congressman
"Irriga ton Bill Reeder's campaign
The Herald saws:
when Boss Royce used to run the
politics of Smith county he built up Just
such ring as he has built In this
county. When he went to Smith county
it gave Republican majority of 700 or
300; when he left, the county the major
ity was LOCO the other way. History
Royce may have had nothing to do
one way or the other with the Popu>
listic wave, but one thing is certain, he
has pulled Bill" Reeder out OF the hre
more than once. At the Norton ccnven-
tion Reeder was mighty badly scorched.
but Royce hung on to a nOmina ting
speech like grim death for over an hour
and kept talking against time while a
few fallen pins were being set. After
he had made speech OF nearly an hour
and a half in length he promised that
If Reeder was nominated he, Royce,
would make no speeches. The only way
to quiet Royce was to nominate Reeder.
