After waiting an hour the chair sound
ed the gavel and G. D. Barnes stated
that the committee had found itself
unable to get together, whereupon a
motion to proceed with the order of
business carried with much applause.
At this stage of the game the dele
gates from the precincts outside Of
Glenwood were in fighting mood over
the palbable attempt to put through a
cut and dried program and got busy
asserting some of their rights. The
way in which they knocked the aspira-
tions Of several chronic Office holders
into cooked hat and then kicked the
hat out the back window into tho
Grand river is briefly told.
A. J. Vagg started the fun by nomi-
mating 8. Wilmuth of New Castle for
sheriff. Charles johnson named the pre-
sent sheriff, J. W. Zimmerman and Dr..
Tichenor suggested P. W. Divifbiss of
Rifle. The first ballot resulted as fol-
lows: Zimmerman, 46; Divilbiss, 81;
Wilmuth -. So were necessary to nom
mate and when on the second ballot
Divilbiss withdrew and Wilmuth got
56 Zimmerman, seeing he was beaten,
i moved that the nomination of the New
Castle man be made unanimous. which
| carried.

Ernest Barlow, calling him Chunk"
as he couldn It think of his real name.
Mrs. Streit nominated Louis f. Brown
of Grand Valley and claimed that tho
town, serving as host to the convcn-
tion, should be given some recognition.
But this was not on the program, and
Brown got nice bunch of 36 lemons,
Barlow being given 79 votes.

ed Thomas J. Howard of Glenwood
Springs; DR.. Lockard named William

40; Howard, 30; Cross, 25; Kenlriek
12. Kendrick said they could take his
measly dozen and give them to whom
ever they pleased and the second ballot
gave Lowe 54, Howard as and. Crois
81, nominating Lowe. ~
The office of clerk and recorder was
thorn in the flesh of the convention
All day long the fxers had been trying
to peddle the job out to someone, but

to defend himself and named Charles,
