Prospects Are Good for Lively
Fight Before Nominations
Il Are Made.
Rules Are Proposed to Govern Convention.
Delegates Are Unpledged and States
May Be Broken.

vention is 7:30, although it will hardly
be called before eight o'clock. The
first work of the convention will be the
appointment of a committee on creden-
tials by Chairman Crabbe. A. G. M.
Robertson is the almost certain choice
of the convention for temporary and
permanent chairman. To the Fifth will
probably be given the vice-chairman-
ship and the secretary. w. w. Harris
is talked of for treasurer.
After the temporary organization has
been effected committees will be an
pointed on platform and on rules. This
will practically conclude the first even
ing's work of the convention and re-
cess until tomorrow will be taken to
formulate their reports.
THE RULES.
A meeting of the Fourth District
delegates was held yesterday at noon
at which was drawn UP a set of con-
vention rules which will be submitted
to the Fifth District for approval to-
day. One of the rules decided upon is
must first take a pledge to support the
Republican ticket, no matter what the
action of the convention. A rule was
adopted also against the dropping out
of the lowest candidate. Another rule
proposed is that delegates may vote for
candidates who have not been nomi-
in case there is a deadlock on the
names already before the convention.
Another measure discussed but which
has not been adopted, is to require an
aye and no vote in the convention
The secret ballot will however probably
be adopted.
These rules are only tentative and
must be submitted to the Fifth District
before they become binding.
The plan now is to make nominations
for the minor county offices before con-
sideration is given to the supervisors.
The biggest fight will be on the super
visors, and it is the intention to clear
the board entirely before the fight is
opened. Separate conventions will
have to be held by each district to
select four of the supervisors. The
three supervisors at large will be nom
mated at the joint convention.
The county committee will also be
selected during the convention. The
representation decided upon is one for
each five delegates to the convention.
Each precinct will be given at least one
member of the committee. This will
give the Fourth District fourteen and
the Fifth District thirteen members on
the committee. The Executive Com
mittee will consist of not less than one
third the entire committee.
A caucus will be held this afternoon
of the delegates of the Fifth District,
and there will also be another caucus
of the Fourth District before the con-
vention.

With the Republican county conven-
Ntion but twelve hours away the dele
4gates have reached an agreement on
4 but practically three or four nominees.
sThe fight in the convention is. likely to
4 be long and interesting, and the meet
zangs will continue for at least two days.
Both the Fourth and Fifth districts
have held their caucuses, but there has
& been no decision where the offices were
contested.
The only two men who seem abso-
lutely certain of nomination are Ar
3 thur NJ. Brown for Sheriff and ]. w.
pratt for Tax Assessor, though there is
#aAlittle opposition to Pratt. r. N.
Woyd will likely be surveyor. For
<<jzounty Attorney, w. T.s Rawlins has
"a unanimous endorsement of both dis
tricts, but there is said to be no GER
tainty of his nomination. Friends of
IL. W. Cathcart have been quietly
working to secure his nomination, but
& it is doubtful whether the fight will be
effective because of the late day at
which it was begun. The only objec-
{ tion to Rawlins appears to be his
youth.
j Although S. E. Damon was also
thought to be certain to capture the
nomination for the treasurership. op-
position has developed from among the
banks of the city, on the ground that
Damon is connected with Bishop & Co.
They want to see some man, other than
a banker, get the office, and e. r.
Adams is now being pushed for the
place.
The race for Auditor is a four-cor-
nered one, and the chances now are
said to favor Isaac Sherwood. c. M.
White. A. ]. Campbell and Henry Da-
yis are the other candidates.
Savidge, Murray and Vida are still
fghting over the clerkship and the
Convention will have to decide upon
the candidate. Savidge is said to be
in the lead with Vida close second.
There is a considerable leaning also
awards Murray, and he may be able
{ 70 land the nomination.
The biggest fight is of course for
supervisor. Five of the probable nom
inees Will be NJ. P. Robinson, Jack Lu-
Aas, Chas Hustace, Jr., from the
! Fourth and James A. Low and John c.
Lane from the Fifth. E. c. Winston
and E. r. Adams, if he is not given
the nomination for treasurer, are also
possible nominees.
The Fourth District will probably be
given four of the supervisors, while the
Fifth gets but three, including one
supervisor at large.

constructed modernly in every respect.
The owners of the property expect
to have meeting soon in which the
plans will be more fully discussed.
The property has now lain idle about
year. and every one in the city is
anxious that modern structure be
erected on the site Of the old hotel
property, which was known for years
as the fremont Block. The fact that
the property is idle is costing the
owners no small pro rata sum each
month, as the money that is invested
is drawing no interest. The owners
of the property hope before long to be
able to announce just what will be
done, and to complete their plans ready
for early operations in the spring.

TO REMODEL BUILDING.
c. e. Patterson Will Make Modern
Structure Out of Portion of Masonic


An extensive Improvement for the

Masonic block, is to be transformed in-
to thoroughly modern and up date
place Of business. Mr.. G. E. Patter-
son, who now owns the building, Will
let a contract soon for its remodeling,
and work is to be begun Feb. /.
Mr.. Patterson will spend between
81, 900 and $1,000 on the structure. New
steel ceilings will be placed on the
first. second and third floors: new
floors will be built for each: a new
and modern French plate glass front
will grace the ground floor: a heating
plant will be installed in the basement.
and in connection with an individual
lighting plant, which will furnish the
lighting for the entire three floors. A
passenger elevator will also be built,
extending from the basement to the
third floor, and toilet rooms and lava
tories will be added to each floor.
The first and second floors of the
building will be used as one storeroom,
and there are already contracting for
the occupancy of the building four
dry goods firms, located in Illinois. Mr.,
Patterson has not closed deal with
either of the concerns as yet, but will

A few friends of two eligible young
men of this city, altho, perhaps, sur.
prised that the novelty Of birthday
should still continue to charm, enjoyed
a $3.50 dinner party at the H. V.
Speers home as fully as any birthday
party was ever enjoyed before. The
occasion was a recognition of the re-
markable coincidence of two very not
able events. That C. r. Speers and
C. C. ST. Clair should both have been

fill. as their married friends viewed
it, the commonly accepted destinies OF
