The republican county convention
was called to order at the court house
by Chairman John Knauf. The at
tendance of delegates and spectators
was not large, and the convention was
unusual in this respect compared to
those of former years. All parts OF
the county was represented however,
and farmers said that the rush of
threshing and fall farm work made it
impossible for many to attend. The
caucuses were also slimly attended,
the same reason being assigned. The
best OF feeling seemed to prevail in
the convention.
Pending the reportsof the commit
tees, Judge Rose was called on for
some remarks. He said in substance
that it was high duty for delegates
to select candidates for the response
BILE places which the convention wa
called upon todo. He had never doubted
tie stability Of the American people
in the maintenance of their institu-
tions. The free school system settled
that question. He believed that the
delegates should act their best judg-
ment as citizens, and select as good
material as possible. With that done
that was all their constituents ex-
pected of them. At a suggestion the
chairman called on S. E. Ellsworth to
address the convention which he did
"a a few remarks that included an
ant little story. Mr.. Piercy also was
called on and Ormsby McHarg,
+,xho not being a delegate, asked to
ha excused from making any extended
remarks.
There were M contests and the
committees having submitted their
reports the nominations of candidates
w proceeded with.
John Knauf was made chairman of
tie county central committee and
committeeman at large. William
Farley and Morris Beck responded to
ca is for a speech. Mr.. Farley thanked
the delegates for the nomination and
