lslaLive ticket. 1t was proposed to raise
a campaign fund of $1,000 among the
voters and apply it to getting the
ticket elected. 1t was said that it
was time that the pie was passed
around and democrats get slice.
Chairman c. o. Daley of the county
committee called the convention to or.
der at l0:45 m, and Secretary II
w. Volk read the official call.
On motion of II. F. Griffin of
Good Thunder Mr.. Daley was elected
temporary chairman. Mr. Volk was
elected temporary secretary. Both pro-
tested the suddenness of the honor,
but did not decline.
A motion for a committee on creden-
tails was carried, all democrats present
To be given seats by filling in where
there were vacancies. The chair ap-
pointed +. II. Griffin, Ed Dunn and
The chair appointed three Henrys as
a committee on permanent organiza y

Henry Thielman.
The following were appointed a
committee on resolutions: NJ. L. Fall
lenstein, DIR. F.. J. Bomberger, D. f.
Rasdall, Fayette Wilder and Judge w.
L. Comstock.
Chairman Daley suggested that dur
ing the recess the matter of selecting
candidates for the county and legisla-
tive tickets be talked over. Demo
Gratis were timid about coming out un-
less they knew what backing they had.
One delegate wanted to consider it
at once.
Raise Big Fund.
V. J. Greiner said that at the eau
Gus at AIapleton it had been talked
that full county ticket should be
put mp, and a campaign fund of
$1,000 raised. Alapleton stood ready
to raise its share of this fund. Many
of the county officers have been in
office a long time. and possibly never
will the democrats have better
chance to get in, for there is a feeling
of revolt through the county, that the
offices ought to be passed around. Now
was the golden opportunity.
Mark l.. Wildes of Lake Washing
ton said that in looking over the con-
vention it did not seem to be up to
date. There We're many old mem pres
emit. Democratic principles, if thoroughly
imbibed, are conducive to long life. He
could say that he had been Jack
democratic principles from both father
and mother. His old school teacher,
a democrat, was still alive The re-
publicans have held the offices so long
that they have all the money and
can hold conventions, buy delegates,
etc. They have the trusts, too
