cuts. hr. Temple IS now a candid
ate for state treasurer on the prog.
ticket He brought greetings from
the converted on the other side and
wished them we'll. He had come
over. he admitted privately, TO
smooth over the differences which
were about to disrupt the program.
He found that the local Stewartites
had so far stifled the Bull Moosers
into submission that his assistance
was not needed. He praised the
Lord that Bickel was now a Bull
MOoser and wished to goodness he
might always have been so, instead
of taking his irrepressible and ire
sponsible flings into the socialist par
ty on occasion Mr.. Temple was unc-
tious and SNUG. but he could not
help but betray the fact that he had
been a down the line" regular all
the days of his life until he saw
chance TO run TOR office on the prog.
ticket, and here he is, trust alliances
and all.
Re-NominRting Candidates.
Once the old steam roller, resu-
rrected from days of Big Four got
to working, there was no standing
in its way With never squeak or

smashed all opposition into submis-
sion. Windy Jackson was the one
guiding star of the convention. His
bull-like voice was heard making
every nomination, moving the close
of nominations and growing over
the secretary casting the ballet of the
convention for his candidate He in
terrupted the progress of events with
roars of What's that? l didn't hear
that last?" until the chair usually
prcfaced his remarks by IF this
meets with the approval OF Mr. Jack
son--'
Old Brother Spencer. F., from
over Fruit Ridge way-rose to in
quire at one juncture, If Mr.. Jackson
had a monopoly on the "movings" of
the convention. Mr.. Jackson assur-
ed him that he was right.
Beginning with Charley Jones,
who did not have the nerve to show
his face in progressive convention,
the roll was called. Bill Suruthers
went down with scracely a gulp, al
though 81 Reed and some of the rest
made few wry faces. Ray Yunker
ran the gauntlet safely and j. II.
Ranliin, who held somebody's proxy,
named that devoted friend of Mr..
faft. the Honorable d. w. Aupperle,
for county treasurer. Mr.. Aupperle
will have to ride to Office on pro-
gressive platform, supporting Roose-
welt and Costigan, which Will look
good in Washington, where he is
slated rs a taft man of the deepest
stripe. John Brown came in next
and with the assistance Of Windy"
Jackson, was nominated.
The real. honest-to-John fuss cul-
minated when three men leaped to
their feet at the call for nominations
for county Judge. Both Il. l.. Nor
rison and Sullivan were nominated,
and roll call OF the precincts was
necessitated. The result showed that
Morrison had 1919 10 Sullivan's
SAY. This did not bring culver
TO the doughty Morrison's face for
he Immediately announced that he
would run on the same ticket by pc
titiOn.
This was an interesting contest in
that both candidates We're standpat-
ters and We're asking for support
from progressive convention. And
here seems to be every Likelihood
that both will get on the ballot.
Lee Hampton was nominated. and,
although T. b. Smith was also nam
ed, he declined to make the race in
the convention. He evidently saw
his fate coming down the line.
Windy" Jackson, who is typical
of nothing if not ;so chief Bull
Moose himself, lined Jimmy Fisk
up with the bunch and passed on
to the commissioners. Ben Snyder
was renamed and Charles Wallace
of Molina surprised the ratifiers by
nominating Charles 7. Jenkins, the
democratic candidate. This was with
out Mr.. Jenkins knowledge, but was
merely inserted to test the sentiment
of the convention. jenkins is
progressive democrat and always has
been. Bill Briggs is a standpat re-
publican, who expects to name his
children after William Howard Taft.
The smiling Mr.. Temple said that he
though the convention might with
all righteousness name democrats or
republicans alike, and so Mr.. Wallace
placed Mr.. Jenkins name before the
convention. The result was not sur
prising. MIR. jenkins received a COM
plimentary vote of 16, while Mr.
Briggs, because he was a republican
and not because he was a Roosevelt
man, received SO.
The important offices closed when,
after looking each other in the eyes
in "here-goes-the- he-whole-darn-busi-
ness" sort of way, the delegates re-
nominated Avery Newton. Avery will
join both the Taft and Roosevelt
tickets, but you can bet that Will
lam Howard Taft and Sunny Jim will
get his vote In November
