Republican Convention.
The republican county convention
convened at the Biggs hall in this
city last Saturday morning. The con-
vention was called to order by county
chairman DR.. o. w. Foxworthy, who
spoke at considerable length on the
glory and prosperity of the republi-
can party, and announced that he
had selected Hon. Marion f. Stookey
as temporary chairman
Chairman Stookey, on taking the
chair, made short address in which
he claimed all the prosperity which
this country ever had was due to the
republican party, and even took the
credit for the shower which fell while
the convention was in session for the
republican party. M. A. Gammill and
Dan Anderson were nominated for
secretaries, but Mr.. Anderson, who is
postmaster at Lamont, stated he had
reasons why he could not serve as
secretary and Mr.. Gammill declined
to serve, so Winfield Cash and Will
F. Lindsey We're named, the latter
not Delng present.
The first tilt between the standpat-
ters and the insurgents came when
DR.. B. l.. Eiker moved that the roll
of township be called and that each
be allowed to name one member of
the committee on resolutions, Gre
dentials and permanent organization.
Dan Anderson moved as a substitute
that the chair appoint committee
consisting OF three members to act as
each committee. Several parties spoke
on the motion but when it was put to
vote the. substitute lost and the
original motion declared carried.
