A SPLENDID TICKET.

shop and the office, the democrats OF
Fergus county selected ticket with
which the party can go before the
people of the county with the utmost
satisfaction and the most absolute as
surance Of victory.
Never was a more harmonious con-
vention held in Fergus county. But
it was not the harmony which results
from indifference. There was enthu-
siasm and earnestness at every stage
Of the proceedings but the keen desire
manifested by all to eliminate any
possible cause for post-convention, i'll
feeling Of disaffection resulted in a
convention in which the utmost good
feeling prevailed at all times, while
the convention was in session and
leaving spirit of perfect amity in
the wake OF the gathering.
1t was not "made to order" con-
vention because the democrats of Fer
gus county have no one who is per-
mitted the honor of being its boss
and debating its nominations. In this
respect, it is, happily, somewhat diff
ferent from certain other political
organization in Fergus county.
The convention, acting for the
party, showed that it has the correct
appreciation of public service, ex-
cellently rendered, by renominating
by acclamation, all of those public
officials who are now serving their
first terms. Miss Orpha Noble, super
intendent of schools; Ed Martin,
sheriff; John M. Parent, county com.
missioner; Charley Myersick, county
clerk; John B. Ritch, clerk of the
court; John Marshall, assessor-all
are good men and each has rendered
conspicuously good service for the
county during the last two years. The
Democrat expect to bring forth these
records and present them to the pub
lie in ample justification of our course
in urging the reelection Of Miss
Noble and of the gentlemen men
toned.
For the legislative positions, Mr..
Breck Ornbaum, of this city, and DR..
s. E. Haycraft, of Straw, are the can
didates and both are excellently quail
fed for those positions. Mr.. Orn-
baum has been resident of this part
Of the county for many years and
there is not a man in the county who
is better equipped to grapple success
fully with the problems which will
confront the legislator at the mex,
session of the state legislature. DR.
Haycraft is a most highly esteemed
resident Of the great farming regior
OF which Straw and Moore are the
chief trading centers. During his resi-
dence out there, he has won ar
enviable reputation as man of the
most scrupulous honesty A gool
neighbor, a good citizen and a leve
headed business man, Doctor Hay
craft would serve Fergus county with
signal distinction in the legislativ,
body of our state.
