gram. 1.-THE Antelope county republican
convention. held here today, was har-
monious gathering with all sections of the
county represented. DR.. w. q. Fletcher of
Orchard was nominated for representative
on the first ballot and before its conclu-
sion his selection was made unanimous by
reclamation. He thanked the convention
and said that IL elected he would carry out
the wishes Of the people; that he had not
applied for pass, received one or rode on
one; that IL he went to Lincoln he would
pay his fare and Il would remain paid;
further, that the pass system was an evil
and he was opposed to and would vote
against II. No candidate for county at
torney was placed in nomination, but the

attorneys to accept the position owing to
the fact that private business would neces-
sarily occupy their full attention.

state and congressional platforms and

pears a foregone conclusion. There are
