On motion of Judge Davis, DR.. G. A.
Herrick was elected committeeman at
large, and chairman Uf the County
Committee, position which he has
filled ably and satisfactorily for the
past four years. In accepting the DO
sltlon DIR. Herrick stated that he had
done his best in the past, and he would
night for the success of the party in the
coming campaign to the utmost of his
ability.
On motion the chairman was author-
lied to appoint the usual committee as
required by the purity of election law.
E. G. VOORHEES, moved that the coun-
ty central committee be empowered to
ill any and all vacancies that may occur
In the ticket; such vacancies to be
hlled by the committee as whole and
not otherwise. The motion was carried.
Judge Davis brought up the question
of the status of justices and constables
in townships 2 and 4. Several OF these
officials held their Office by appoint
ment at the hands of the board of
supervisors. 1t was question whether
the appointment would hold for the
unexplred term, or until the next gen.
eral election. The democratic conven-
ton was discussing the matter, and the
prevailing idea seemed to favor refer
ring the election of these appointed
officers to the decision of the people at
the ballot box. The county committee
had power to Gil vacancies on the
ticket by resignation or death of reg
ularly nominated candidates, but it
was doubtful if the authority reached
to the cases whore the convention had
made no selection. No definite action
was taken, but the question was left
open for future action if necessary.
Each candidate nominated for SUPER
visor was, on motion, required to nav
80 toward the expenses of the cam.

was called upon for speech, He said
ne hardly knew what to talk about.
Ii returned as representative he would
work to send one of the best men as
United States senator to uphold the
administration of President Roosevelt.
He appreciated the support already
accorded him. The republican party
had been very kind to him, and he
could never fully repay then. He had
been asked to be a candidate, and if
elected he would work for the interests
OF the district. 1t was surprising how
many bills introduced affected the dis
triot In some way. He did not think
the people realized the Importance of
sending man capable of looking after
the district. He promised TO work
for the best interests of the
