CLEMENT WINS.

Received Large Majority Over Both Can
| didates in a Harmonious Caucus.
The vote last Saturday afternoon,
at the Republican caucus to elect del
egates to the State convention, was
somewhat larger than expected. The
general result, however, in electing
Clement delegates was not surprise
to many. A thorough canvass had
been made by all three parties and
as the Mccullough and Proctor lead
ers could come to no understanding
it was evident that the Clement
ticket would easily win. 1t is
thought by many that if a COM
promise could have been made two
weeks previous to the caucus, the
Clement ticket would have been de-
| feated.
The meeting was called to order by
Chairman, Geo. NJ. Powers, with f.
G. Fleetwood as Secretary. After a
few preliminary remarks by Chair
man Powers regular business was
taken up. The old Republican Town
Committee, consisting of F. G. Fleet
wood, T. c. Cheney, j. R. Robinson,
E. G. Wilson and Geo. H. Terrill
were all re elected.
The following delegates were chosen
to the District Conventional. A.
Niles, 81. Waite, G. W. Clark, G. B.
Davis, G. A. Wilkins and E. S. Rob-
inson. The following resolutions
were introduced by Hon. FL. FL. Pow
ers and we're unanimously endorsed
RESOLVED, By the regular voters of the
town of MorTistown in caucus assembled -
That without regard to our respective prefer
ences in the gubernatorial canvass just
closed we hereby cordially and unitedly en-
dorse the candidacy of our talented young
townsman, Frederick G. Fleetwood, for the
nomination for the office of Secretary of
State in Stale convention on June 49, and
that we hereby direct our delegates this day
chosen to use every honorable effort to secure
his nomination.
At the suggestion of Judge Powers
each party designated a challenger,
making the committee as follows:
For Mccullough, q. W. Doty, for
Clement, Glen Wilkins and for Proc.
tor, j. II. Atkinson. On account of
the absence of Mr.. Doty at the begin
ming of the ballot, Oscar Sherwin
served in his place. The Town Com
mittee acted as referees and settled all
disputes in regard to challenged
votes.
The balloting began at 2 o'clock
and the box was turned at 6 p. M,
when the following result was announ-
ced:--Whole number of votes cast
54S, Clement received Sol, Nc
Cullough liza, Proctor 10.
The result was received with cheers
by the Clement party, the leaders of
which party had conducted a skillful
campaign. Free cigars were the
order directly after the result was an
nounced and with the band concert
on the upper veranda of the Randall
followed by torch light parade the
celebration was kept up until late in
the evening.
