DEMOCRAT CON-
VENTION TAME.
Hartford Politicians Make
Uy the Slate.
Resolutions Criticisirg Present
County Administration
Adopted.

The Democratic convention held
at the courthouse last Monday was
well attended by the democracy from
over the county, but owing to the
fact that it was Mass Convention.
it was an easy matter for oneo two
Hartford politicians to make up the
slate and put it through as the con-
vention was lmore largely attended
by the persons near Hartford than
from remote sections of the county.
Circuit Court also added largely to
the attendance and the Republicans
were there in large numbers to see
what would be the outcome of the
affair."
The convention organized by the
election of Mr.. S. ]. Weller Chairman
and Heber Mathews Secretary.
On motion the chairman appointed
the following committee on resolu-
tons: T. E. Butler, S. j. Tichenor.
J. W. Foster G. B. Likens and T. E.
was OhAy
out five minutes giving the impress
sion that the resolutions had already
been prepared and placed In cold
storage probably several days before
hand
The fact that some persons who had
been prominently mentioned for the
more important offices refused at the
VT moment to allow their names to
he used. placed the leaders somewhat
at sea about the nomination, and
they were finally made for the most
part without knowing whether or not
the nominees would accept. In one
instance that of Supt. of schools
Prof. ozna Shultz nominated and was
a nominee for only half an hour when
he declined and Miss Matte Z. Nose
lev teacher in the primary department
of Ohio County High School was sub
stituted. A committee on resolu-
lions made the following report.
