County Republicans
Hold i

convention in Colorado Springs on
hers of the central committee in each
precinct
The convention was called to order
by Chairman w w. McEwen. who
called for nominations for temporary
chairman. On motion, S. NJ. Biggs
was elected chairman of the temporary
organization, and on taking the chair
addressed the meeting with few well
chosen and appropriate remarks.
Mr.. Biggs said he was deeply inter
ested in the outcome of the election
this fall since there was an opportu.
nifty for a widespread change not only
in county Offices, but also in the state.
This is an opportune time for .Repub
lioans to elect good portion of both
county and state tickets, if not all.
The speaker went on to say that he
had taken no active interest in poll
ties for several years, but that he was
willing to give his experience and
energy and hearty support to the Re.
publican cause this year and expected
TO do his full share in making the party
victorious.
He advocated fair open convention
giving every delegate chance to ex
press an opinion, and thus make the
convention thoroughly representative
of the Republican party. He did net
approve of the rule OF few. but
thought that all should have a voice
Thus the wishes of the people would
be more accurately reflected and
known. and could thus be carried out
more intelligently.

tary by acclamation.
