Democrats of Carroll county met In
Odd Fellows Hall Monday and nomi-
mated candidates for the Offices 10 be
filled at the coming election, Tuesday,
November 2. Every seat was occu-
pied, and in the rear Of the hall at
least hundred men stood through
out the long hours of the convention.
II was a fine-looking body of men,
well dressed and prosperous in ap-
pearance. Every district was fully
represented. 1t was strictly a con-
vention of the people The most as
tute politician in the county could not
have named single candidate on the
ticket, with the possible exception Of
surveyor, at any time before the bal
lots were counted. Those authorized
to name the candidates performed
this duty without let or hindrance
from any of the so-called leaders.
The ticket which the Democrats of
Carroll county are called upon TO sup
port and elect Is the result of the best
Judgment of the men whom the voters
in the primaries elected to perform
this task, and whatever disappolnt-
ments may be felt at the present time
on account of the ommission OF GER
tain names from the ticket, and the
overlooking of certain districts, will
soon pass away because no reason
able man will harbor feelings Of re-
venge or resentment when he Is van
quished In fair fight In an open
fed.
