The Republican county convention
held last Saturday elected Cummins

of Cummins sentiment and the stand

ITS in this weeks convention.

F. Klemme, resigned, were candidates
for election and were strenuously sup
ported by the men who had appointed
them to the board. They were opposed
by F. Turnkey and S. v. Chapman.

this increased interest is well under
