of attention being the fight for the
nomination for sheriff There is con-
siderable talk about the craftsmanship,
and County Chairman Koehler has in
dictated that he will preside only until
the meeting is called to order, the for
malities disposed of, and the conven-
ton organized. The convention will
be called to order at II O'Clock at the
court house. The call will be read.
and Chairman Koehler will read the
tabulation of the returns of the pri-
mary. The organization will probably
be perfected, and an adjournment then
taken until the afternoon. When the
convention reassembles in the after
noon. the work of making the nomina-
tons will be taken up.
Effort for Band Wagon.
1t is expected that an effort VIII be
made by friends of Edward Kittilsen
to make his nomination bandwagon
procession On the strength of Pleas
ant Cox's popular vote, he will in all
probability be nominated without much
contest, and this will be used by the
Moline delegations as an argument
favoring Kittilsen. it being held that
the nomination of Cox for treasurer
should satisfy Rock Island Hittilsen
and his lieutenants have been holding
various mysterious conferences in
Rock Island. some of them midnight
sessions. in their efforts to secure con-

On the other hand Rock Island lead
ers will at least demand of Moline that
that city deliver the delegations to the

Os StiU In the Game.
Os Bruner refuses to join the club of
down and cutters and says that he will
be heard from when the nomination of
sheriff is taken up by the republican
county convention tomorrow. He de-
elares a mistake has been made in COM
putting the number of delegates that
are instructed for him on the first bal
OF and demonstrates that there will be
1t least sc delegates and that Kittil-
sens strength has been overrated. a

Reynolds, Too, Stands Pat.
Reynolds, as well as Bruner, refuses |

friends will remain firm unless deals |

ay that while his prospects may not |
