sept. f.-optCldi. TIC
Sixth district republican convention
to select a candidate in the place of
N. E. Kendall, resigned, was called
to order at 1870 this afternoon by
District Chairman Porter.
The organization was perfected by
the election of II. F. Wagner of Sig
Quincy, chairman, and j. J. Echell, of
Bloomfield, and +. K. Talbot, of Powe-
shiek, secretaries and VIM. Reese, OF
Ottumwa, reading clerk.
The first informal ballot developed
the following strength:
Dunn, of Bloomfield, Sc.
Roth, of Ottumwa, %.
Rominger, of Bloomfield S12.
Bray, of Grinnell, 20.
McCord, of Newton, p.
The ballOting continued with little
change until the eighth ballot, when
Milton McCord, of Newton, was chos-
en- by the vote of 81 to AZ for Roth.
The Line Up.
The line up of candidates in the
morning hours showed four with con-
siderable and about equally divided
strength including Milt McCord, of
Newton; Tom Bray, of Grinnell; Ed
Roth, of Ottumwa and Ellsworth Rom
niger, of Bloomfield& Mr.. Bray was
taken suddenly i'll at the depot in
Grinnell yesterday. when on his way
to Ottumwa, and has been confined
to his bed since.
Bray Not a Bull Mooser.
The Poweshiek delegation was en-
thusiastic in his support. One of the
surprises of the day was the announce
ment by his friends that Mr.. Bray.
while progressive of long standing,
was not a bull mOoser and would vote
for President Taft. Mr.. McCord, is
well known as a politician, and has
served as postmaster at Newton. He
and Mr.. Rominger were both recog-
sized as administration men.
New Man in Politics.
Mr.. Roth is comparatively a new
man in politics, and while he has not
been mixed up in factional fights, it
is understood that he is a republican
who believes in supporting the whole
ticket.
Slow in Assembling.
The convention was held in the
Wapello county court house. The
hour set was one-thirty in the after
