REPUBLICANS PICK
 TAFT DELEGATION
COUNTY CONVENTION HELD
ADMINISTRATION FORCES ARE IN COMPLETE CONTROL OF
 G. o. P. MEETING.
From Thursdays Daily.


 The Taft forces won a complete victory without a struggle in the Re publican county convention which was held at the courthouse here Wednes- day afternoon. So effectual was the administration organization that the Roosevelt adherents, if there were ony present, failed to offer any opposi- tion, the vote on every proposition be- ing practically unanimous. The num- Der of delegates present was small, less than half of the township in the county being represented.
 The convention was organized by the election of J. M Garrett chair man and Ed Canister secretary. The election of delegates was the most important business transacted, the following being chosen:
 Delegates to the State Convention W. A. Graham, J. M Garrett, O.. J. Owen, G. E. Owen and W. A. Lindsey. Alternates-A. G. Nichol- son, J. A. Sctzler, L. T. Lasley, J :. w. Boydston and Sam Collins.
 Delegates to the Congressional Con- vention-J. L. Corley, o. J. Owen, L. T. Lasley, A. W. Winston and W. A. Graham. Alternates-B. s. Shock, J. A. Setzler, J. K. Ware, I. R. Reynolds and J. M. Whitten.
 Although they are all strong Taft supporters, the delegates to the state convention were uninstructed. The delegates to the congressional conven- tion, however, were directed to vote for John Bruce Cox, prominent Roosevelt supporter, as delegate to the national Republican convention. This, it is stated, was done as com pliment to MT. Cox, a native Conway young man.
 It was decided not to nominate a county Republican ticket in the' con vention, but committee was appoint ed and given power to put out ticket later should it be deemed advisable. This committee is composed of o. J, Owen, c. A. Simmons, S. H. Mathews, w. M. Lyon and A. w. Winston.
 A new Republican county central committee was elected, O. J. Owen be- ing the member from Cadron town ship.
