tinued prosperity combined TO make
Wednesday afternoons republican con-
vention at the Casino at McCurdy park
an enthusiastic, harmonious and pleas
ant gathering and presages the big vic
tory which the party will enjoy if the
same spirit continues to prevail. De-
! spite the fact that farmers are busy and
there was little for the convention to do
every township was represented and but

Without introductory remarks chair
man Bigelow read the call and asked
Selden S. Miner to preside as temporary
chairman. Mr.. Miner said that it was
an honor for him and the members of
the convention to be able to say that
they were American citizens and espec-
tally that they were members of the
great republican party of American cit
liens, the party that had called such
men as Lincoln, Grant, Garfield McKin-
ley and Roosevelt to its head and had
had leaders like Summer and Blaine.
The party was proud of such men and
that the same class of men continued to
be its leaders in every state in the Union
and under such leadership the country
would continue to advance to greater
lead in the list of great nations.
