/
w Walker of Kalispell. AS there |
were no other nominations his selec-
ton was made unanimous and he |
was called upon for speech. He re-
sponded and spoke a few words of |
thanks and retired amidst applause
| Considerable amusement was caused
in the nominations for county treas
urer by NJ. W. Bottorf, who spoke |
for several minutes in highly eulo-
CYSTIC strain of a candidate he had
in view The genial doctor spoke at
some length, but being somewhat
confused he sat down without NAM
ing his man, and amidst roars of
laughter he put forwardfP. Weberg.
This was followed by Andrew
Swaney, who nominated Capt. j. D.
Eaton. On the ballot Mr. Weberg
was elected by a vote of SO to 81
More speeches from both Eaton and
Weberg
Ollie Gregg had no opposition for
the nomination for sheriff and was
elected unanimously, the promised
fight for the honor failing to mater
ialize. He also spoke.
For assessor H. G. Seeley of Holt
and Gus Rooster of Somers were the
contestants, the plum being carried
off by Seeley by a vote of 60 to 80.
Both also spoke.
For the county attorneyship w. H.
Poorman and F. L. Gray were in the
field, and the latter lost out by a
vote of 62 to 26. The nomination of
Mr.. Poorman was in the nature of a
surprise to the public, as it was the
general opinion that G. H. Foot would
be the man. The latter had been in
the fight for some time past, but
Wednesday he withdrew, alleging
that his health would not stand the
strain of campaign. Poorman is
practically a stranger to majority
of the delegates, but evidently some
rapid work had been done by the ma
chine and he was nominated over
Gray by fat majority. The ma
chine is deserving of credit for it's
work, unless, as is strongly suspect
ed, Poorman was the man they had
campaign was blind. Poorman also
grated.
{ E. A. Steere had no opposition for
) county superintendent of schools and
was chosen by reclamation. He also
5 spoke and stated that among other
/ things that he would try and show
, the people of the county that he
a could run like a steer. Herman Lat
e inner was nominated for public adj
/ ministrator by reclamation, as was
4 Nelson Willoughby for coroner and
: J. B. Gibson for county surveyor
l. This closed the nominations, and
the chairman announced that he
n would appoint the committee to Sc
d lect the Flathead delegates to the
IS safe convention. On this committee
e he appointed w. G. Whips, H. G
IS Keith. B. j. Boorman, Alvin Lee, G
a c. Miller, and they retired to the
(. Judges rooms to make their selec
d ton.
e During their absence Mr. Logar
IS read a resolution pledging the Flat
It head county delegates to vote fol
s Judge Smith of Helena for justice
e of the supreme court at the state con
e vention. This was opposed by Mr.
" 'Noffsinger, who in his speech de
clared that he was against binding
a. the delegates to support any man, a.
N if he stood no show OF election thel
~ votes would be practically throw
~ away. Mr. Logan's resolution was los
lie by large majority, and after severa
er ineffectual efforts to alter it to sui
the opposition he became disguste
6, and threw it in the waste basket.
