Additional activity on an sides of the
Republican fight for the nomination for
governor marked the beginning of con-
Vention week, with the result as much
a matter Of speculation as before. The

indications, a good crossing contest
About the only certainty is that sew
eral mathematician are. claiming that

votes are counted.
Cutler headquarters were opened IN
parlor y OF the Kenyon hotel, with f.
j. Jenkins, Carl Badger, y. p. Nelson

times during the day and expressed
pleasure at meeting each caller. Among
those who dropped in during the after

most wholly against the delegates VINO

counties. All sides are claiming con-
NeTts III unexpected quarters, the claims
being of so conflicting a nature that
they serve but to add 10 the confusion.
