Harmony in Convention.
Harmony with capital H prevailed at
the republican county convention of Potta-
wattamie county yesterday, all the fighting
having been done at the primaries and
prior to the gathering in the south room Of
the county courthouse. During the early
hours of the morning the Greenshields and
Consistency forces got together and 1t was
known before the convention was called tc
order such a combination would necessarily
result in the nomination for county treas
urer over which there had been such a
fight waged, going early in the balloting tc
the candidate from Avoca, L. G. Consigney,
| in the event OF Greenshields failing to Sc
cure it on the first ballot. This combina-
tion between the Greenshields and Consig-
ney forces took the control of the conven-
/ ton out OF the hands of the "antis" and
I resulted in the defeat OF Emil Leffert,
their candidate for the nomination for
| Treasurer.
When the convention was called to order
| at II o'clock by George s. Wright, chair
man of the county central committee,
! every precinct was represented by full
delegation and the courtroom was thronged
with an expectant and interested crowd
Chairman Wright announced the selection
of Alderman Charles w. Mcdonald as tenn
porary chairman and Robert Wallace as
temporary secretary. On assuming the
gavel Mr.. Mcdonald made short address
which was enthusiastically received. He
said:
Chairman Mcdonald Pours Oil.
The people of this county from year to
year continue to express their confidence
| In the principles of the republican party
and its chosen representatives in such de-
/ ton is regarded as virtual election.
I Naturally, candidates for nomination work
h tddsH a5s tS IS
with a number Of the best from which to
choose for each ONCE to be filled. OF ne
called but few can be chosen" I beg that
the unsuccessful ones Will be in a measure
solaced with the thought that every dele
gate will regret there are not enough ON
Another responsibility less local in its
general sSiSH, whole Of the people, regardless Of
! party, Is the selection OF delegates TO tht
state conyenti3n so soon to convene; ,s II ni !;
they are the pulse OF the nation, that what
Iowa does in this meeting will have much
/
not far distant national convention. and by
some II is said where oGr good governor
SITS there politically is the head Of ~ the 2. ts
est and having the second largest delege'
tion of any county in the state must needs
h0'h both in it's S selection H OF Of county NOMINEES
and state delegates named. Differences eX
list, or, more properly speaking, preference;
us be guarded that these preferences do no
develop in prejudiees, so that when n,
convention, as well as every republican anC
good citizen of our fair county, may prac
tice that noble spirit Of emulation, wh'
can best work and who best agree"
