The Montgomery tribune. (Montgomery City, Mo.) 1892-1910, 1906-06-15
Republican Senatorial and Con-
gresSionaI Convention.

, WARRENToN, Mo-, June g.
!. Without a single indication o
discord. but with enthusiasm
Astounding, the Republicans of the
9th congressional and 10th sena.
torial districts, in joint conven.
ton here today, nominated G. w
Smith of Centralia for state sena-
tor, and selected Attorney j. B.
CARRIER of this city to oppose
Champ Clark for congressional
honors in this district. Mr.. Gar
Der was Clark's opponent two
years ago and reduced the latter's
usual majority of nearly 1000 to
less than 1900 votes.
G.. w. Smith was nominated by
the senatorial committee at an
executive session shortly after
noon. Following this announce
ment by j. w. Gill of Montgomery
City, the convention was called to
order by Col. M. D. Thurman, who
announced that nomin ii n g
speeches would be limited to five
minutes. He then instructed Sec
rotary Samuel Schrantz to call the
names of the counties for nomi-
nations. D. W. Ebersole of CAL
laway nominated w. w. Arnold
also of Galloway. w. S. Cole. who
headed the delegation from Frank
lin county, followed Ebersole, and
in an impassioned speech, placed
the name of j. B. CARRIER before
the convention. This nomination
was received with wild applausesy
and Audrain, Gasconade, Lincoln,
Montgomery, Pike, Rails, St.
Charles and Warren counties Sec
onded the nomination of Attorney
CARRIER. In order to make the
nomination unanimous Mr.. Arnold
announced that he would have his
delegation withdraw thervotes cast
for him, and requested that they
be given to Mr.. CARRIER. The con-
gressSonal nominee was escorted
to the rostrum amid vigorous ap-
plause. He spoke for thirty min
utes, in which he outlined the poll
icies he expected to persue through
the campaign, and declared that
if the Republicans of the district
'rolled up their sleeves and went
to woyk, Champ Clark would get
out of Office as he ought to do"
He continued:
The pages of the records or his
tory do not contain an entry of
something for the nations good
that has been accomplished by
Mr.. Clark. During his many years
in Office he has been but a figure
head, occasionally getting into
print by some cratic statement.
The many triumps which have
carried the fame of Old Glory from
shore to shore and from continent
to continent were accomplished
by Republicans, and the prinei-
pies of the party for whom and by
whom they were made are the
cause. The Republican party
since it's origin has stood for hon
esty and what was right. In the
White House to-day stands a Re-
publican who has stood for justice
and equality for all.
Mr.. CARRIER concluded by de-
claring that he expected to
carry the district, and before
leaving the rostrum, in an
elegant tribute, introduced Col. D.
p. Dyer of st. Louis. The NOM
ent Col. Dyer arose the band began
playing "Dixie," and while the
music continued, though nearly
drowned out with shouts, the
speaker stood in front of the
crowd. His talk was received
with much enthusiasm, and when
he declared that j. B. CARRIER
would be the next congressman
from that district, the band was
called upon to stop the applause.
Col. Dyer in a humorous way cri-
ticised the vaudeville show" pull
led off at Jefferson City by the
Democrats. H called attention
to the fact that David r. Francis
