What proved to be the most inter-
esting, the most harmonious, and the
most enthusiastic city convention
that has been held in Oskaloosa in
years was that convened at the Ma
haska county court house Tuesday
evening and its work resulted in the
placing of splendid ticket before
the voters of the city, ticket that is
a bulwark of strength and one that
p meets with the hearty approval of all
good citizens. Everything was har-
monious and in good accord and the
feeling engendered by the gathering
was one of good spirit and of genu-
inc good will.
Organization.
The convention was called to order
shortly after eight o'clock by City
Chairman w. r. Nelson who named
as the chairman of the evening Thos.
C. Terrell, tried and proved Repub-
lican warrior of the Fifth ward.
Walter Davis was named for the po-
sition of secretary and for tellers the
convention selected Frank c. Chris
tie and Charles Mccall.
A credentials committee was then
appointed. One delegate from each
ward was selected as follows: W. r.
Nelson, F. M. Blair, J. w. Jones, S.
e. Barnhart, and G. w. Overturf
They suggested that each ward be
permitted to cast its entire vote
whether all were present or not, and
the suggestion prevailed.
The temporary organization of the
convention was reported for perma-
nent appointment and the convention
then proceeded to the naming of the
ticket.
