JUDGE BURGE SPEAKs.
At the afternoon session Judge
Burge of Lincoln, spoke at length
on the usual strain, frequently
eliciting applause from his
audience. AT the conclusion Of
his speech II. j. Shinn stated
that the speaker had been secur-
ed at the solicitation of Eli Arm
strong and himself at consider
able expense and that as the pop
treasury was empty he would
like to have volunteers to help
meet the expense. 1t was sug-
gested by some one in the audi
ence that the hat be passed.
This was done and the evidence
of republican prosperity was indi-
Gated by the collection of SIS. a..
The committee on credent ials
reported through II. f. Hall of
Mason, the report being adopted.
E. M. Webb of Galloway, re-
ported for the committee on or
der of business. The report pro.

The convention proceeded to
elect delegates to the state con-
vention. 1t was moved by E. h.
Purcell that the roll of town
ships be called for nominees and
in case more candidates we're
named than Necessary, that the
convention select twelve dele
gates from the list.
E. M. Webb suggested that
should calling the roll develope
more candidates than were re-
CURED that the ever plus
be declared delegates to the
nominating convention to be held
later at Lincoln.
Cummings suggested that no
one would desire to go to FIRE.
mont to elect delegates to the
national convention "as we know
we cannot elect a president.
Tooley thought the basis of
the state nominating convention
would be different and that they

roll could be called and the num-

c. M. Blowers wanted to elect

The enthusiasm of former DAYS
was not in evidence. No one
wanted to go to the state conven-
