The above is the ticket named
by the Republicans of Crawford
county at their convention held in
Manila yesterday. The conven-
ton was an earnest and delibera-
tive body and no action Vas taken
which does not meet with the full
approval of the republicans pres
ent. That there were several can
didates for a number of the offices
is an indication of the confidence
felt by the republicans that at least
a large.portion of their ticket will
be victories this fall. Below are
given the s.official proceedings of
the:convention, but the minutes of
the meeting do not give fair idea
of the earnestness and enthusiasm
felt by the delegates. The ticket
is splendid one, it is one that ap-
peals to every section of the coun=
ty and there is not a man on it
whose record needs any words of
defense. There was a disposition
on the part Of the delegates to nom
mate man from Manila to con-
test with Mr.. collins in his own
home, and as the Republicans of
that place had decided upon no
candidate the place,was left open
to be filled by the committee. This
omission is not sign of weakness
but rather of desire to proceed
slowly to the end that the candi-
date, finally selected might be the
best possible choice for the posi-
ton.
Congressman Walter l. Smith
addressed the convention in the
morning. His speech was filled
good thoughts for republicans and
was put in such terse sentences
and with such apt illustrations that
time and again the convention hall
was filled with laughter and ap-
plause. We wish that time and
space permitted a more extended
mention of the speech by the elo-
quent congressman from the Ninth
congressional district.
Hon. ]. P. Conner was the per-
manent chairman of the conven-
ton and his ringing sentences in
support of the republican platform
brought cheers and applause.
Judge Conner finds nothing for
which to apologize in the republi-
can platform or the republican
party. He does not have to side
step to get on to the platform. He
emphasized the principle of pro.
lection as a cardinal tenet of the
party and said that there was moth.
ing in the Iowa platform that de-
manded any retraction on the part
of republicans as to the benehcence
of that doctrine.
Considering the candidates o.
the party we shall speak more a
length in succeeding issues. DR.
j. l. Gibson for representative, i:
a man of state wide reputation anc
acquaintance. He is typica
young working.republican of thu
best school. Should he be elected
and should the legislature be as
sembled he is one of the men wht
would at once have influence ane
be a powerful factor inllegislation
As state officer DR.. Gibson ha
already made a record of whicl
any one might be proud.
For clerk the republicans nomi
mated Mr.. b. e. Clauson O
Kiron. Mr.. Clauson is one of tn
most enthusiastic young republi
can of the county. He represent
an element of the republican part
that is always loyal to the ticket
He is popular with all who kno,
him and his ability and fitness fo
the place cannot be denied. H
is clean man above reproach an
the republicans are fortunate ths
