other well-known Republican politicions OF

his mind. Likewise the other candidates
before last nights convention came for
ward.
Open charges that support was expected
from a certain element of the Democrats
were made in the convention. In nomi-

the Thirteenth Ward opposed Mr.: Joy by
referring to Others who would have IN
fiuence with the Democratic party In
helping us carry the district" He added
that he had no confidence IN the promises
that had been made.
Captain ". z. Hodges In nominating Mr..
Joy answered the argument by saying that
the delegates should remember the dis

I'VE remember that we must have Demo
cratic votes TO elect our nominee" The
attitude OF the Buffers WAS the all bsorb-
ing topic and the apparent attitude Of the
delegates was one OF welcome.
There were only thjrty-eight delegates
in the convention. When the three COM
mlttees were appointed. only eleven were
