Charles Cotrell, jr., was nominated
by Judge II. ). Tanner Numerous Sec
Onding speeches were made.
AT the outset of the balloting it
looked like COttrell. and with thirty
districts in ii still looked as though the
man from the Second ward would get
the nomination. 1t was either mans
fight any time during the taking of the
last fifteen districts. and there was lit
tie surprise when II was found that
Nigus had beaten his opponent by but
i've Notes.-The totals being 25Sla for
Figus 10 25S19 for Cottrell.
Hutchinson Hands Down.
1t was a cinch from the start for w
r. Hutchinson, nominee for city attor-
ney. Mr.. Hutchinson was placed in
nomination by VIII NJ. McCrea, who
said that he was true blue" all right
and that if defeated he would not "sulk
and skulk'' or do other varied and sun
dry things that no gentleman Republi-
can would do.
Brigham Clegg of the Third ward
placed c. w. L. Stevens in nomination.
. cd N n
candidate was highly qualified for the
Office, as he had been in touch with w.
II. Bramel, the Democratic nominee,
who knew more about the water sit
uatiOn than any other attorney in
town. Mr. Clegg didn't say that Mr..
Stevens or any other candidate could
nil the Office of city attorney as well
as Mr. Bramel, but he thought that
his association with the latter would
help some
There was little time wasted in sec
Onding speeches and the count of votes
began, with Hutchinson leading mer-
rily. When the vote of the Thirty
eighth district had been counted, and
the total stood Hutchinson BOG, Stew
ems 81, Mr.. Clegg withdrew his candi-
dates name.
Then he jolted the convention with
the following comment:
Might just as Well withdraw. 7 see
the states all fixed and that it will go
through"

Z. o. Leatherwood of the First ward

walter IN placing him in nomination
for city recorder Chris 3. Diehl, from
- nj nf n
pathetic plea for the Republicans of
the Fifth ward dn nominating ]. c.
Barthel for the same office. Job P

Buckwalter. and a ballot was ordered.
Il resulted in 357 votes for BuckWalteT
and 155 for Barthel On motion of
Judge Diehl the nomination of Mr..
BuckWalter was made unanimous.
5eatie Wins Scrap.
The three-cornered scrap for city
treasurer between Walter j. Beatie, j.
i. Openshaw and Fred Bassett brought
out all kinds OF elOquence. the most
notable instance of the latter being
Harry JOsephs assertion that Beatie.
like certain medicinal beverage. was
"a household word"
Household WoTd'-there was some
thing in it which seemed to please the
delegates, for the announcement was
greeted with much tumult. But this
may have been mistaken for the up
roar which nearly all of Joseph's at
tempts at airy flights caused.
Fred Bassett was the first candidate
named, County Attorney Farley p
Christensen placing him before the
convention. Openshaw was nominated
By Attorney General NJ. y. Breeder.
1t was seen before the balloting had
fairly begun that the victory was with
Beatie. The only enliVening incident
was when ". T. Edward challenged
the vote of the Thirtieth district as an
nounced by Deputy Sheriff T. l.. Irvine.
and Irvine were the sole rem
nants OF the delegation, which was en-
titled to ten votes. Irvine announced
six votes for ODenShaW and four for
Beatie. Edward wanted it the other
way about.
Some one suggested that Sheriff EN-
cry settle the row.
Finally a compromise was made. five
votes going TO Openshaw and five to
Beatie.
The dnal vote stood. Beatie, 2Ss:
Bassett, los; Openshaw. 107
The nomination Of Beatie marked the
conclusion of the real work of the con-
VentiOn.
Faithful Want Flag.
In the course of miscellaneous bust
ness which followed. County Clerk Jo-
seph l.. Eldredge moved that the un-
fufled American flag continue as the
emblem of the Republican party in this
city"
During the past four campaigns We
have used this as our emblem, and are
entitled to il by law" said "Jody."
Now the Americans come along and
claim the flag as their emblem, but the
statutes make il illegal for them to
adopt it,"
The convention decided by q unani-
nous vote that the unfurled flag should
continue as the emblem of the faithful.
Can Fill Vacancies.
The convention adopted a resolution
ielegating 10 the city committee pow.
n TO fill all vacancies which may occur
IN the Republican ticket" 1t appeared
o be the unanimous sentiment of the
convention that as the same delegates
which made up ward conventions made
10 the city convention the latter should
De given power 10 fill any and all va
,ancies. including such as may occur i'm
ranks.
