ending with a last stand against leaving
the selection of a county ticket to
committee.

and Davidson opposed the election of
John T. McEniry as chairman. but we're
defeated by a vote of 63 to s. roll
call was also taken on the seating OF
a contesting delegation from the Ems
lev beat, and after that the steam roller
was brought in and business was fin
ished in short order.
The committee finally selected to NOM
mate a county ticket Is composed OF I.
H. Aldrich, chairman; ]. x. Thomas,
G. ]. Allison, ]. W. Davidson and j. Fl.
Montgomery. Mr.. Davidson announced
that he would not serve unless the COM

by unqualifiedly indorse the administra-

the legislation of the late republican
Congress.

mnistration of Hon. Joseph o. Thomp
son, as chairman of the state execu-
tive committee, and of the Hon. P. D.
Barker, our national committeeman.
80. We also indorse and approve the
manner, IN which Hon. John T. McEniry
has discharged his duties as chairman
of the county executive committee, and
feel that the high character of his serv-
ices amply warrant his retention in that
