Republican J judicial Convention

The republican judicial convention
OF the Thirteenth district Was held in
Sterling last Saturday for the purpose
OF nominating candidate for district
attorney. E. II. Kelsey. Of Logan
county. was elected chairman, and e.
L. Dowdell. Of Adams county, secre-
tary. Delegates we're present from
the six counties in the district and all
had been instructed TO vote for the re-
nomination OF ". II. Pound, Of Jules
burg
Judge Pounds name was presented
to the convention by Prof. c. v.
Parker, chairman OF the Sedgwick
county delegation. who paid high
tribute to the character, ability and
official record OF the man he nominat-
ed. In the course OF his speech Prof.
Parker read resolution adopted by
the Sedgwick county convention pledg-
ing the entire republican party OF the
county to work aud vote for Judge
Pound.
The nomination OF Judge Pound was
seconded by Judge Armour. Of Logan
county, and by delegates from every
other county represented in the con-
vention. Judge Armour spoke in elo-
quent terms OF The honorable record
made by Judge Pound during the four
ysars he has held the district attor
ney's office. and prophesied his re-elec-
tion by large majority. The nomi.
nation was made by acclamstion, and
was accepted by Judge Pound in Il
neat and appropriate speech.
The convention adopted the national
and state platforms OF the republican
party. Dr. F. NJ. Smith. of Holyoke.
was elected chairman OF the district
committee, which is composed OF the
chairman, secretary and one member
from each county. c. W. White was
chosen to represent Sedgwick county.
The denomination OF Judge Pound
by acclamation is a splendid tribute to
him as a man and AS an official. Dur
ing the four years he has held this i'm
portaut office he has made record for
fairness and honorable discharge OF
duty OF which any man may well feel
proud. That he was the unanimous
choice Of the republicans of the dis
trict for denomination is evidence that
his services have been appreciated and
t. lat the mass Of republican voters de-
sire him in his present position for
another term. 1t is also evidence that
he will beat the man nominated Tues
day BY the democrats mile
The Grit-advocate., 1904-09-23

1t will be seen by the above sched-
ule that the supporters Of the various
propositions polled more than two
votes to their opponents one and every
vote cast was legal vote beyond ques-
tion-none Of the people who moved
into the district ten days before the
election voted. Those who worked for
the success OF the enterprise have
reason to rejoice at the result Of their
labors. An unfair anu bitter fight was
waged against them and they are en-
titled to congratulations for their VIC
tory In spite OF this opposition.
1t is not the policy OF The Grit-Ad-
vocate to crow over the PROSTATE form
OF defeated foe, but we can not re-
frain from calling the attention OF our
readers to the fact that The Julesburg
organ OF democracy and discord-the lie
Tidings-fought the reservoir and
bond propositions to the full limit of
Its puny ability. Whatever credit
may be due any one for the successful
issue OF the campaign which closed
last Saturday, certainly none should
be given to that organ-unless the
fact that it opposed the propositions
and thereby made their success more
sure. entities, 1t to credit.
AS in the reservoir proposition, sc
will it be in the political campaign
now about 10 open in Sedgwck coun-
ty, the Tidings will be on the wrong
side. The candidates it supports and
the measures ii advocates will go down
to overwhelming defeat at the polls
on the eighth 0! November

Our Congressman at Large.

1t Is rare that member OF the
National House OF Representatives
makes much impression In his first
term. 1t generally takes him most of
it 70 "learn the ropes" and seldom
car he get good enolgh place on
committees to do very much for his
constituents. That Mr.. Franklin f.
Brooks Of this state has been a nota-
BILE exception to the rule is proved not
only BY the testimony Of leaders Of his
party, and by the reluctant admission
won from Senator Patterson, but also
by very concrete examples Of what his
energy and persistency have enabled
him to do for his people.
That Mr.. Brooks has been a real
congressman-at-large-a representa-.
tive for the whole state, was strlkingly
and abundantly proved in the late
convention, when delegate after dele
gate, In all parts OF the house, and from
all sections of the state, rose and Sec
onded his nomination. One did it "in
the interests Of the agricuiturists;"
one in the interest OF the miners;' an
other sin the interest OF the Arkansas
Valley still another "in the interest
Of the agricultural college at Fort
Collins'-and SO on. from every part
of the state and from every class Of its
citizens. This was q tribute to the
worth and the work of Mr.. Brooks
that is as rare in conventions as it
must have been pleasing to him. His
is eminently case in which zone good
term deserves another"
