| ROCKVILLE. Md. August 49, 1907
The republican county convention. which
| met In the opera house here yesterday.
adopted the report of the nominating COM
mittee naming the following ticket:
! For states attorney-Thomas Dawson.
For sherif-Frank L. Hewitt
| For the house of delegates-Alban G.
! Thomas. Willis B. Burdette Lewis H.
Keiser and Bradley H. Dutrow.
| Some opposition TO the adoption Of the
report manifested itself owing to the fact
that 1t did not include nominations for
| county commissioners and judges of the
| orphans court. but this vanished when the
| reasons were explained and the report was
unanimously adopted. Just before the vote
was taken Mr.. Dawson secured the floor
| and announced that for business reasons
he could not accept the nomination for
states attorney. This was received with
surprise. but Mr.. d. w. Baker remarked
| that he would be nominated anyhow. and
MIR. Noyes made a short speech. in which
he spoke of Mr.. Dawsons fidelity to his
| party and stated that he that he
would not be untrue to 1t at this time. The
| slate was thereupon put through with Mr..
| DawSOn's name on il. 1t is believed that
| Mr.. Dawson will allow his name to con-
| tinue on the ticket.
