AhO VI
county held a lively convention at
Hardinsburg last Saturday. 1t was
the "outs' against the ''ins " The
'outs" seem to have had the best of
the fight, as they carried everything
with whoop. The "outs claim that
they are getting tired of being domi-
mated by the revenue and post ce
elements and want a little say them
selves about the organization of the
party, even If they cant have it
about the revenue offices.
The first fight came up over the cleo
ton of temporary chairman. Mr..
Allen r. Klncheloe, the present coun-
ty chairman, was put up by the
''lns' 'and the Hon. Chss. Blanford
was the champion of the "outs. "
Mr.. Kincheloe called the conven-
tion to order promptly at 2 o clock
p. m. DIR. E. P. Rodgers, of Askins,
in highly complimentary and en-
thuslastIc speech, presented the name
of Mr.. A. R. Kincheloe. Judge Ali
seconded the nomination. The Judge
was enthusiastic for his man and his
party and called on his friends to do
their duty as became good Republi-
cans, who loved their party, their
president and their country.
Mr.. W. Sherman Ball was the
spokesman of the "outs" and when
he put in nomination the Hon. Chas.
Blanford for the place the applause
was immense and showed how the
convention stood The vote was put
by DR.. Rodgers and resulted in the
nomination of the Hon. Chas. Blan
ford.
Mr.. Blanford took the chair and
made a stirring speech for Roosevelt
and Republicanism.
The Hon. R. NJ. Jolly was chosen
Secretary.
Mr.. Allen R. KIncheloe moved that
TIE chair appoint two committees of
five each, one on delegates and one
on resolutions. Mr.. Sherman Ball
offered an amendment to this resolu.
ton. 1t was that the chair appoint
a committee of three on delegates and
resolutions. The amendment pre-
vailed and the chair appointed the
following committee. Capt j. H.
Rowland, w. j. Hall and w. S. Ball.
The committee retired and returned
with the following report, which was
unanimously adopted:
