Democrats Named Winning Ticket at
the County Convention Held in
This City Last Saturday.
THE TICKET.

The above is the ticket nominated at
the democratic county convention held
at the opera house in this city last Sat-
urday, and that it will be a winner is
the general opinion. The convention
was attended by the representative
democrats from every township and
precinct in tho county and there was
the utmost harmony throughout the
convention. True there were contests
for several of the nominations but they
were not marked by that bitterness
which sometimes follows the defeat of
candidate, as the delegates seemed de-
termined to nominate the strongest
possible ticket and the defeated candi-
dates all took their defeat in the best of
spirits as they realized that all could
not win. This year the democrats have
nominated the largest number of candi-
dates for county Offices ever presented
to the voters of Decatur county at one
time, and it is ticket for which the
party will not have to make any excuses
no matter what the result is in Novenl-
ber. Six of the nominees have already
served the taxpayers Of Decatur county
in the Office for which they have again
been nominated and it is conceded by
all that they have made splendid
records as public officials and are en-
titled to be reelected.
The convention was called to order at
the opera house shortly after II o'clock,
by secretary of the county central com
county chairman V. r. McGinnis was
out of the city, being in North Dakota
on important legal business, and that
the committee had selected Hon. G. P.
Arnold, of Garden Grove, as temporary
chairman Of the convention, subject to
the approval of the delegates, and when
the question was put Mr.. Arnold was
elected by a unanimous vote. On TAX
ing the chair Mr.. Arnold said that at
democratic county conventions it was
the custom to get down to business and
not devote much time to making
speeches, but thanked the convention
for the honor bestowed upon him, and
in few brief remarks referred to the
fact that the democrats of Decatur
county generally got piece of the
money at every election and that 1906
was going to be no exception unless it
should Happen that the democrats
would capture all Of the Offices.
