and Nominate Full Republican
County Ticket

The regularly organized Republican
committee OF Marshall county met at
Albert's hall in Plymouth last Satur-
day afternoon, TO fix the time, place,
and manner of holding the county
convention. 1t was one OF tie largest
committee meetings ever held in the,
county. Many of the old time leaders
were present, along with the younger
party workers. Speeches were made
by Senator Parks, Ex-Consul General
Hess and many others Harmony,
thorough organization and a united
and determined effor- to carry the
county were the keynotes of all the
speeches.
After thorough discussion of all
the phases of the campaign, the COM
mittee decided to hold mass conven
ton in Plymouth Saturday, June 2,
1906, for the purpose of nominating
a full Republican county ticket.
Every Republican in Marshall coun-
ty will be entitled to vote in this
convention and every Republican is
urgently requested to attend and as
sist in nominating ticket that will
be representative of the entire Repub-
lican party, ticket that can WIN and
will be an honor to the party and the
county after the election

man and secretary will fully explain
the manner of nominating candidates
In order to give every township an
equal chance in making nominations
each township will be entitled to one
vote in the convention for every ten
votes cast for President Roosevelt at
the last election That is if town.
ship cast 100 votes for Roosevelt it
will be entitled to cast ten votes in
the covention; if the township cast
200 votes, it will have 20 votes in the
convention, one vote for every ten
Republican votes cast.
The townships will all meet together
in the court yard at Plymouth and
every voter will have voice in the
organization of the convention, the
adoption of resolutions and all other
business transacted The townships
will then separate and every Republi-
can will have vote in his own town
ship, and the vote for every candi-
date will be pro-rated by each town
ship, in proportion to the number OF
votes cast in that township. This will
prevent the townships near Plymouth
from having any advantage over the
townships more distant and every Re
publican will have a voice in the con-
vention. 1t will be a convention OF
the people by the people and for the
people.
Republicans in every township, ev-
cry precinct and every neighborhood
should consult together as to the best
men for candidates, and every Repub-
lican in the cour:v should determine
to be in Plymouth Saturday, June 2
and should see that all his neighbors
attend.
Experience everywhere has demon.
strascd that mass delegate conven-
ton is the fairest and best. In such
conventions there are no delegates to
sell out, no townships to trade, be-
cause every Republican present has
vote and that vote must be counted
The Republican convention in Ply
mouth Saturday June 2, should be the
largest convention ever held in Mar
shall county and ticket should be
nominated that will command the re
spect of the best men of all parties
Such ticket can win despite the ma
chinations of all cliques and factions
