The republican state convention
met at Huron Tuesday, and although
the insurgents had majority Of "A
votes, the stalwarts forced them to
divide the resolutions'so that the In.
surgents alone voted to endorse
Crawford. they also compelled IRON
clad instructions for Taft for Presi
deut. There was a big crowd OF the
prominsnts there and lots Of howery
eloquence was handed out. Among
Che notable speeches was one by X.
o. Richards, Crawiord's ex-demo-
cratic manager, who said; "Day
takes vot We gives DEM. The con-
ventiOn was called to elect delegates
to the national convention, but the
insurgents figured that it was also
necessary to endorse Crawford. 1t

ment from republican convention.
Section S44 Of the Political Code,
pertaining to the. duties Of county
commissioners. says, "They shall
hold their session with open doors
and transact all business in the most
public manner" Ever since E. b.

OF commissioners, whenever any
matter of any Importance comes up
for discussion, instead OF complying
with the above law, he will always
call the other commissioners outside
land the matter will be discussed and
\ idecided secretly. '.
