county convention for Franklin county
has been set for July Is. The object OF
this convention is to select delegates to
the state convention at Iowa City and
for the purpose of nominating candi-
dates for the county ticket. The offices
for which they will nominate candi-
dates are county auditor. recorder,
clerk Of the courts and supervisor OF
the Second district. This county was
one where the delegation to the first
state convention was contested and
the Hearst men. led by Attorney II. c.
Ligget. were locked from the regular
county convention and held their con-
yention on the sidewalk in front OF the
convention hall. The anti-Hearst men
controlled the convention at that time.
altho they were not seated at Des
Moines. Whether or not there Will be
another similar contest at the county
convention Will probably depend upon
the result of the st. Louis convention.
If the Hearst element is defeated there
they will probably not make contest
here, but if they are successful there
the convention here is likely to be as
bitterly fought as was the other
