IS THE THIRD MAN
SIGOuRNEY ATTORNEY is NOM.
MATED FOR JUDGE.
ONE BALLOT DOES BUSINESS.
Preston and Clements Renominated
by Unanimous vote-t1armonI-
Gus and Busy Session of
judicial Convention.

In about the same length of time
that it will take to read over the fol-
lowing proceedings, the Sixth district
judicial convention this afternoon re-
nominated Judge Preston of this city
and Judge Clements of Newton, and
selected X. e. Wilcockson, Of sigour-
ney, to succeed Judge Scott, Of Brook
lyn, who had announced that he would
not be a canudate for the Office again
1t was by all odds the most harmo-
NOUS. the most enthusiastic, and the
most "quick action" convention ever
held in Oskaloosa, and we doubt not
in the district. One ballot told tie
who.e story, and as soon as the result
was announced the nominations were
made unanimous, and the convention
adjourned without further ceremonies.
The best of good feeling prevailed
and conditions throughout the dis
trict were reported in, fine form
State politics was entirely eliminated
and a united republican party was
marshalled to follow their standard
hearers to victory this fall.
