The County court has been Iaboring
Ter the past week or two canvassing
the returns and tabulating the same
only got done on Wednesday even

When the Court met on Thursday
morning petitions were filed asking for
recount in the case between Siler and
Hobbs for the County court, BY Mr..
Hobbs who on the face of the returns
was defeated by six.
petitions were also filed asking for a
recount by j. L. Mcdonald who was
defeated by 20 on the face OF the re-
turns and by w. s. Wild who was de-
feated by Percy Elliott on the face OF
the returns by 6.
Mr.. J. Nj. Woods appeared as eoun-
sci for SiIer, Mcdonald and Wild and
Fl. II. Emmert and G. E. Williams
for Hobbs, Kline and Elliott.
The counting is slow JOB and 1t is
impossible to conjecture when the
work will be completed. The Court
began on the 1st precinct in Martins
burg and at noon they had but about
five tickets counted.
The republicans seems to have aban-
doned the contest against Mr.. Il. b.
Kettering and the court directed the
clerk to issue certificate Of election to
him and all those whs were elected on
the face OF the returns excepting those
who are parties to the recount.

mention of former Frostburger A
portrait accompanies the text, easily
recognizable by anyone who ever knew
the'subject:
The new chairman of the Hennepin cOun-
ty republican committee. J. w. Nash, bears
the distinction of having been for 20 years
connected with the county campaigns in
Minneapolis, without having been candi-
date for office. Mr. Nash famliarly known
as Josh Nash to his friends, has had
enough experience in the running of Henne-
pm county republican fights to be thorough
ly familiar with the details of organization
and the executive work required of the
county organization. The great burden of
carrying through the entire republican
ticket will rest on the county committee this
year. Chairman A. ID. Brown, of the State
committee, has already made an appeal to
the county committees to line things up
for the State ticket. The county, congress-
ional and a share of the city campaign will
be carried by the county committee. Chair
man Nash and secretary Robertson do not
expect to open headquarters before the time
of holding primaries, early i'll September.
