SIS Hhi NO TIO$SGuhSos
The Republican County Convention
was held in Audubon on Saturday. July
2, 1910, according to the provisions of
the primary law. County Chairman
Farquhar called it to order promptly at
IL o'clock and read the call and the ac-
credited list of delegates as certified to
by the County Board of Supervisors.
He then stated that the executive com
mittee had selected Chas. s. White for
temporary chairman and Audubon
Shelley for temporary secretary and
after such appointment had been con
firmed by a vote they took charge of
the convention. Mr. White declined to
make speech but did make some re
marks pertinent to the occasion, pro
missing that every delegate should have
fair opportunity to be heard on any
proposition germane to the proceedings
of the Convention.
The only ripple started in the con-
vention was the attempt made to amend
the report of the convention on perma-
nent organization. DR.. Brooks OF Leroy,
Thos. Scott of Cameron and Paul Pet
ersen of Oakfield. who constituted the
committee recommended that the or
ganiZation be made permanent. Dr.
Riley of Extra offered an amendment
to substitute the name of s. +. Garmire
for that of Chas. s. White for perma-
nant chairman. After some discussion
as to the necessity or propriety for such
amendment Messrs Jenkins of Extra
and Kennels of Leroy were appointed
as tellers and the vote taken by town
ship resulted in 43t for the amendment
and 72s againstit The motion to adopt
the report of the committee was
carried without further opposition.
