M. l.. Houilhan, Jr.. was one of
the favorites of the conven tion. His
nomination for Recorder was made
by unanimous roll call and he made a
clever speech of acceptance. which
was received with applause. The
county has had no better recorder than
Mr.. Houlihan. He is faithful, eff
cient, modest and accommodating and
it is the unanimous opinion of the
republicans, and of many democrats
that he should receive second term.
For Sheriff the unanimous choice Of
the convention was Robert Meisner
the popular marshal of Schleswig.
Mr.. w. j. McAhren had been can
didate for the nomination but during
the forenoon, he withdrew his name
and it was not presented before the
convention. Jess McAhren is one of
the best workers the republican party
of Crawford county has ever had. He
has host of friends and admirers
and is personally one of the most pop
ular men in Crawford. His with
drawal was on account of his health.
He has been gaining steadily during
the past months and all of his friends
hope to see him we'll and strong
again. but he felt that, while with
rest and care he would be perfectly
able to conduct the Sheriff's office if
elected, he could not we'll stand the
fatigue and excitement of campaign.
He has no ill-feeling toward anyone
and we doubt not that he will give his
best efforts to Mr.. Meisner in the
campaign. The successful candidate
had made a strong preconvention cam
paign and had developed large fol-
lowing. He is the marshal of Schles-
wig and is we'll liked by all the peo-
pie of northwest Crawford. He is
strong, vigorous young man. in the
prime of his manhood. Straight as
an Indian, with keen eyes and look
of perfect health, he looks the ideal
peace officer. The republicans of
schleswig and vicinity endorse him
heartily and guarantee that he is as
upright in mind as in body. If he
doesn't beat "Yes-yes'' we miss our
guess entirely.
AS matter of compliment Uncle
Morris was renominated by rising
vote AS a nartisa candidate for
surveyor, Uncle Morris don't count.
He IS the only qualified surveyor in
the county. His candidacy is nom
partisan although the democrats went
through the form of putting up a
young man against him. He made a
jolly speech to the convention and
admitted that he was the only veteran
Office holder on the republican ticket

but he blamed no one but the people
for that. That Uncle Morris will be
elected goes without saying. in spite
of the opposition cf John Cook.
There was brisk little contest for
coroner, between F. G. Hill of Char
ter Oak and DR.. Thompson of Vail.
The convention evidently thought that
as Charter Oak had one nominee and
Vail none it was time to remember
the east enders.
For Superintendent N. A. Carna-
han of Manila was unanimously nom
mated. He made an effective little
speech of acceptance and proved him.
self the best looking of the nominees.
He freely admitted that he was a
stranger to many but promised to be
better acquainted with all by election
day. Mr.. Carnahan is an experienced
educator. He was superintendent of
schools and county superintendent at
Edgar, Neb., and last year when the
principal of Manila schools was sick
he filled the position most acceptably.
completing the school year for him.
The Manila boys are enthusiastic for
him and he promises to give Mr..
Huffman lively race. Keep your
eye on Carnahan.
For county attorney, Mr.. l.. E.
Goodwin decided not to have his name
presented and Mr.. P. j. Klinker was
nominated unanimously. He respond
ed to the may calls with a bright
speech of acceptance, promising, if
elected, fair deal to all. The hon
or of third unanimous nomination
was great one and he appreciated it.
deeply. Mr.. klinker has conducted
his Office with absolute impartiality
and fairness. His record of convic.
tions is frst-class, and he has saved
the county much money by not rush
ing into litigation. He is popular all
over the county and will easily beat
Shaw Van whose record as an Indian
in politics has gained him hundreds
of enemies in his own party.
DR.. Thompson was unavoidably
absent and Chairman Huffman of Vail
thanked the convention in his behalf.
For supervisor to succeed Henry
Shredder no name was mentioned save
that of Mr.. Herman Shultz and he re-
ceived the unanimous vote of the con-
vention. Mr.. Shultz is one of the
most capable men who could be sa-
Iected for the board. He is a master
mechanic, the old bridge builder of
the county, and his election would
undoubtedly save the county hundreds
of dollars. through his supervision OF
the bridge work. Not only this but

LARGEST EVER HELD.
Republican Convention Breaks
County Record.
NEW BLOOD ON THE TICKET
Voters Offered Change From Old
Office Holding Gang. Strong
Ticket Named.

The republicans broke the convention
record for both parties at it's conven-
tion yesterday. The call included 1876
delegates and nearly all of them were
present. Every precinct was repre-
sented, all but one, Iowa. having
held regular caucus. This made the
largest convention ever held in Craw-
ford county and it was easily one of
the most harmonious and business like.
Every republican is loud in praise
of the strong ticket named. There
was no disposition to E'hvg it" on the
part of any section and Denison with
its thirty-seven delegates claimed but
half the places obtained by the II
democratic delegates at their county
convention. This spirit of fairness
governed the whole convention and re-
suited in ticket on which eleven
different townships are represented.
There were exceptionally few dis.
appointments in the convention and
these were taken good naturedly by
all concerned.
One feature of the convention was
the goodly number who attended re-
publican convention for the first time.
These new delegates included not
only many young men but many whose
faces have been familiar in past
democratic conventions. A glance
through the list of delegates will show
at least score of names of those who
have been prominent in democratic
circles. The republicans gave these
new recruits hearty welcome. They
are men who from conviction have
left democracy and they are represen-
tative of hundreds of good citizens
of this county who have done the same.
Such men as F. A. jackson. Peter
j. Martens and host of others do
not change their politics without good
reason.
The work of the convention is
officially told in another column. but
it gives no idea of the enthusiasm
which prevailed or Of the earnestness
of the delegates. The morning ses-

next. 1t was proposed to vote by ac-
clamation, but roll call was ordered.
This was done both in the interests of
fair play and for the purpose of put
ting each township on record. The
enthusiasm grew as each township
recorded it's solid vote for Ed. Theo-
bald the good, clean, straight and
efficient county auditor. Mr.. Theo-
bald responded in a splendid little
speech and was received with such
hearty applause as we'll indiactes the
esteem in which he is held. If efici-
ency and uprightness and character
count for anything in this county Mr..
Theobald should have walk-a-way
this fall.
For treasurer the names of U. G..
johnson, E. Il. Cochran and C. F..
Rethe were proposed. In the inform
al ballot each received good vote
and formal ballot was ordered. 1t
soon became apparent that Mr.. John
son was the choice of the convention
and he received large vote. In his
speech of acceptance Mr.. johnson fair
ly captured the convention. He
showed himself for just what he is,
an experienced business man, a polish
ed gentleman and a thorough repub-
llcan. He announced that he stood
squarely on the republican platform.
Without claiming for himself any
particular virtue, he announced firmly
that it elected he would be satisfied
with the salary of the office and would
receive no other pay. He stated that
1T treasurer. any benefits or interest
on public funds should go to the peo-
pie OF the county and not into his prl
vate purse. This bold declaration
Tor reform was met with applause.
1t means probably not less than $1,000
year to Crawford county and should
mean hundreds Of votes to Mr.. John
son.
For Clerk of the c~urts Mr.. Claus
Pahl received the unanimous vote of
every precinct. Not only this, but
his nomination was made with an en-
thusiasm especially from his German
friends, which foretells an increased
vote in November. Mr.. Fah. has
made good record as an official.
The affairs of his office are in excell-
ent shape and his quiet gentlemanly
conduct has won him many friends.
With few words he thanked the coi.-
vention, stated his intention if re-
elected to keep the affairs of the office
in first-class condition. His opponent
belongs to the professional" class
and he will be surprised to see how
for much modest worth will count in
November.

sion was devoted to the routine of con-
vention time, save for stirring
speech by Hon. j. P. Conner which
served to enthuse the delegates and
put them in fine fettle for the long
hard work of the afternoon. Judge
Conner spoke of the work of the con-
gress and the necessity of voting for
the continuance of prosperity which
rested on protection. His allusion to
Congressman Lands speech in which
that eloquent orator had used as his text
the sign displayed in Chicago, CALL
KINDS OF WORK FOR ALL KINDS
OF MEN,. as telling of republican
accomplishment, was greeted with
applause.
During the noon hour the commit
tees were busy and the reports
promptly made. 1t was the concensus
of republican opinion that the plat
form should not be merely perfume
tory affair, to be forgotten as soon as
read, and whatever criticism may be
lodged against it, it cannot be ac-
cused of lacking in courage and deci-
sion. 1t is a campaign document
that sounds keynote for the county
canvass, and embraces real issues of
value to the voter. The platform was
received with much applause, showing
that the delegates were in hearty ac-
cord and we would ask every reader
to examine it carefully as it appears
today. The convention proceeded
with its work rapidly.
w. r. Grimes, C. H. White. DIR.
F. A. Burrows and Thos. Rae were
placed in nomination for representa-
tive. Mr.. Rae withdrew his name at
once. Each of the candidates receiv-
ed flattering vote on the informal
ballot, Mr.. White leading. The second
ballot was contest between White
and Grimes, the former winning by a
fair majority. Mr.. Grimes was un-
able to attend the convention but we
are assured that there are no sore
spots on him Mr.. White is prom
inent. well-to-do farmer of Stockholm
township. He is we'll educated. and
finely equipped for the position. He
is identified with no faction and there
is no reason why he should not receive
the vote of every republican. He is
especially popular in the east part of
the county and will poll large vote.
He informs US that he will make a
vigorous campaign. This office is dis
tinctly a political one and every re-
publican should vote for him. He
made modest little speech before
the convention and made most fav-
orable impression.
The nomination for Auditor was

thinking man. His friends and neigh
bors asked his nomination in the
name of business efficiency. He is
we'll acquainted in every part of the
county and would make much super
Tor supervisor than his opponent who,
while an honorable man is totally in
experienced in county affairs. Mr..
Schultz is representative of the many
democrats among the Germans who
have in recent years returned to the
republican fold. Originally repub-
lican Mr.. Shcultz voted and worked
for that ticket for many wears. In
the eighties, with the rest of his
countrymen in this county he became
democrat. AS years went by how
ever, and he saw the i'll effects of
democratic policies he became shaken
in the faith. Without any flourish
of trumpets he quietly returned to re-
publicanism and he is glad to be back
with the party of protection and pros
perity. He is typical of the many
brainy thinkers who have returned to
the grand old party within the past
few years and he and all of his type
have received a warm welcome in re-
publican ranks. While bitter demo-
cratic partisans may oppose him on
account of his return to republicanism,
the people as whole know him to be
capable. efficient and trust worthy
and we believe he is one of the sure
winners on the republican ticket.
For supervisor to succeed Molter
Thos. Carey of Iowa, Peter j. Maar-
tens of West Side and j. B. Glassbur-
ner of Washington were presented.
Thos. Carey the nominee is splendid
man, eminently qualified, popular
with all of his neighbors and a man
of decided ability. He was urged to
be candidate by scores of the people
of his township regardless of politics
and it is freely predicted that Mr..
Molter will not be in it in Iowa when
the votes are counted. Mr.. Carey
Has Wlue acquaintance ana Will
make strong race. His nomination
adds much to the strength OF
the ticket. While recognizing
the splendid qualifications of Mr..
Glassburner and of Mr.. Martens the
logic of location seemed to be with
Mr.. Carey and he was nominated.
The republicans were glad to have
Mr.. Martens with them in conven-
tion, for years he was democratic
committeeman, but in 1904. he came
out boldly for Roosevelt and repub-
licanism. He is brainy man and
the republicans of Crawford will do
we'll to keep him in mind. J..B.

showed how easy it was to draw off
