REPUBLICANS MAKE / CAUCUS SELECTIONS
Result of the Ward Conferences Held
 Last Night.

The republicans are all ready for the primaries today and will come up to the polling places with their faces wreathed in harmony smiles. and will undoubtedly elect the caucus tickets named in each of the four wards last night Tn the First and Second ward caucauses there was just rivalry enough to make things interesting, but there was no real issue. though there were two sets of names presented at each. The classification had been made as the choice of certain elements for personal reasons rather than in the interest of any candidate. and. hav- ing in mind the organization of the campaign, the new central committee and the business of the republican party instead of the ambitions of in- dividual members of it, as is always the case in democratic caucuses and sometimes the case in republican gath erings. In the main. though, the vot- CTS at the caucuses clung close to the old republican doctrine that it was their business to select good delegates and leave the nominating of county officers to the convention.
 The First ward caucus was called to order by Judge J. B. Woodward a member of the central committee. He was elected chairman of the meeting with c. S. Scott as secretary. The chairman announced the purpose of the meeting to be the selection of twenty-three delegates to the county convention and asked the pleasure Of the voters as to the method of naming them. It transpired that there were two printed tickets in the room. the names of six men appearing on both tickets and one of the tickets having twenty-four names. To facilitate mat ters, a motion was carried that all the names on both tickets be considered as placed in nomination.. An opportunity was given then for further nominations, but none were made, and the ballot was proceeded with. The result was the election of one of the tickets en- tire except for one name for which
 was substituted that of J. w Can ming The winning ticket was elected by vote ranging from 9 to 42. and the other names received from to IS votes each The nominees selected are J. C. Adams Captain T. ConneII- H. B. Kersting, Phelps Gilmore. J. B. Woodward, H. C. Yaeger. A. w. Gal pin, J. A. POrterie, John Baggiore. Ed. Eisele Perry Paine. Fred Tribolet, Lon Wiley, Lou Emerson. Harry Troops. William Evans. Frank Cavalleri,- Ra- mon Corona, Philip Ensign. F. w Pot ter Anton Gold, Carl Frakes, J. ". Canning.
 The Second ward caucus was pre- sided over by pr. F. O. Richmond chairman of the county central com mittee, and Ernest Lewis. secretary. There was the merest hint of friction in th.s ward through the fact that al printed ticket had been prepared by a number who are working together as they deem best for the securing of 9 representative convention. In connen- i tion with this fact. the story gained some circulation that the ticket had been prepared in the interest of one particular aspirant for office. This was not the case. and no attempt was made to force the so-called slate ticket l in any improper way. Each name on the ticket was nominated from the l floor. one a time, and a number of other gentlemen were also placed in nomination, some of them declining. ! The ballot. however. demonstrated the
 popularity of the printed ticket which
 was adopted, the vote being nearly two
 to one in it's favor. and the total vote being 55 Some interest was injected ! through the preached candidacy of w. P. Richardson and Ernest Lewis for
 the office of district attorney No ef- fort was made to instruct the delega- ! ton or grab it for any candidate, but l a motion was carried to the effect that MT Lewis is the favOrite son of the ] Second ward. The caucus nomi- nees chosen are: George Christ, H. B. Wilkinson. Vernon Cook. L. l.. Plank. F L. Blumer, l.. NJ. Christoffer-

 Mintz, Arthur Davenport George w. Brown P. K. Hickey.

 smoothly. and was presided over by Colonel C. w. Johnstone as chairman
 and Captain George D. Christy es sec
 rctary. There was no turmoil or un- pleasant incident and the result of the
 balloting was the selection of the fol- lowing named caucus nominees: Geo D. Christy. J. A. Marshall T. w. Cham
