The Delta independent., 1906-09-14

nelO III DeItd NOuudy was SAC t0A 3 80 .
most enthusiastic and most harmonious
that has taken place for many years.
There was absolute and complete har-
mony; factonalism was tossed to the
winds and quiet. determined earnest
ness prevailed among the delegates to
nominate ticket composed of the very
best men that could possibly be se-
lected and to make the nominees geo
graphically representative of every
part of the county. There was no
cliques or wire pulling, no brushing the
hair the wrong way, no exhibition Of
selfish self interest, but broad, open.
frank. friendly disposition to put party
success as the first and only considers
ton. The convention was largely at
tended. delegates being present from
all precincts and finer looking body of
men and women never gathered in
the court room of the county court
house as the chosen representatives of
a great party.
The convention was business from
start to finish. Chairman Curtis, real
izing the large amount of work to be
transacted in very limited time, car
ried things thru with dispatch that
would do credit to Speaker Cannon.
Speeches were brief, but to the point
and it is safe to say the Republi can
party in Delta county never made q
more promising beginning for a sue
cessful campaign.
