THREE NOMINEES
ARE PUT UP
THE REPUBLICAN COUNTY CON-
vENTIoN NAMES BROWN, MUIR
RAY AND SHERWOOD.


For Auditor-Isaac Sherwood
The Republican county convention
delegates kept up their record for
springing surprises last night by sud-
denly developing a fight over the per-
manent craftsmanship. The Fifth put
up Judge Hookano, George f. Renton
nominating him. and 1t appeared in the
preliminary skirmishing that a COM
bination of FIFTH district men and a
number in the Fourth had great
strength. On the ballot, however, A.
c. NJ. Robertson received 76 votes and
Hookano as. The first ballot showed
three more votes than the number of
delegates present and S. F. Chilling
worth, who temporarily occupied the
chair ordered all persons not dele
gates to leave the part of the floor
used by delegates. A new ballot was
then taken.
Judge Hookano was unanimously
chosen vice. chairman. John T.. Bush
was appointed Interpreter in place of
r. n. Boyd. who is a delegate and was
therefore held ineligible. b. Fabian was
chosen secretary, II. Vida assistant
secretary, j. A. Gilman treasurer and
Isaac CoclIett sergeant-at-arms. The
