Ogden, Oct. 1.-Ogden, City took about
everything worth having in the way Of
nominations at the Republican county
convention today. The county districts
which cast three-eighths Of the vote
got two places on the legislative ticket
and also named their own candidate
Tor county schools, a young man whose
voting residence is West Weber, but
Who is principal OF the Grant school
in Ogden. The city got every other
place on the ticket, including the two
commissiOnerships. IL the Republi-
cans snail be successful. therefore, all
three commissioners will reside in Og-
den for at least TWO years. Every other
nomination for a county Office went to
a city man. The convention got itself
into most complicated tangie On the
commissionership matter and tried to
Iescind its action, but could not muster
the necessary tWo-thiFds vote. The
order OF business reported by the COM
nittee provided for the election Of first
the four-year term commissioner and
second the two-year term man. This
was changed on a simple majority mo-
tion so as TO provide that both might
be elected at once in case each had a
majority Of the votes cast.
Both Named at Once.
The first ballot, contrary TO the plans
of some of the manipulators, decided
the matter, when it had been expected
that only one would be. chosen, and that
second ballot would elect one from
the county. The first ballot showed
stanford -renominated by a clear ma
jority of the full convention. Madison,
another city candidate, had l0e votes.
There were PA votes in the convention,
Jos being a majority, but the two dele
gates from Randall were absent. BY
clerical oversight the vote was an
nounced on the basis of total vote Of
~, and Madison lacked just one of
nomination As a matter of fact all
the city delegations had not cast their
full strength, and bat 204 were cast.
Madison therefore was also elected with
three TO spare, but both he and his
friends acquiesced in the result as an
nounced. The error was discovered at
the press able, but in the meantime
the withdrawal of MadsOns name from
The second ballot had been secured
amid cries of mo, no." on the ground
that the party must not nominate an
other commissioner from ogden. When,
however the accurate figures were
shown him, he insisted on the correct
result being announced, and was de-
clared nominated. The convention had
previously voted that as soon as the
commissioners were nominated the con-
yention should stand adjourned till
73o, and the delegates dispersed
amidst a regular pandemOnium OF pro-
tests and noise.
Madsen Wouldn't Withdraw.
During the recess an effort was made
to secure MadsOn's Withdrawal but he
stood pat, and later an attempt to
force him off the ticket was made in
accord with the reasoning OF Delegate
George J. Kelly, who claimed that as
some of the Ogden delegates had voted
for but one man when they might have
voted for two the candidate still did
not receive majority Of votes cast.
The chairman ruled that the convention
might reconsider the Madison part of
the vote without reoonsidering the
Stanford part. The vote to reconsider,
however, failed of the necessary two
thirds-SS TO 105-and Madison remains
on the ticket.
In the legislative ticket one surprise
developed in the success of T. Z. Pan
cake, a machinist who was put for
ward as a labor candidate and whose
success defeated Murphy by two votes.
Dean of North Ogden defeated Child
Of Roy. but this was not unlooked-for
The only other contest aside from that
of county superintendent of schools
was over assessor, where j. A. Better
polled AZ votes against 100 for Edwin
Dix. All the present county officers
were renOminated. excepting clerk, Ia
which David Mattson got in by ac-
ciamation. The completed ticket is:
