REPUBLICAN,
CONVENTION HELD
Full Ticket in the Field with
Fair Prospects Ahead.

That the old wheel horses of the
Republican party in Dawson county
do not intend to let the organization
die an unnatural death was most evi-
dent at the Republican convention
held in this city last Tuesday.
With the help of band, suffic
lent crowd was drummed up to com
fortably fill the court room. Less
than sixty delegates and alternates
were present, the remainder of the
spectators being largely Bull Moos-
ers'' who made their attendance not
iceable by the flowers they wore in the
lapels of their coats.
Many Democrats were also present
and seemingly took delight in the
tameness Of the convention.
The fact that President Taft's pic
ture was not among those used in dec
Grating the court room and that dur
ing the entire proceedings his name
was never mentioned caused no end Of
comment during the convention and
soon became street talk. The refusal
of the convention to pledge its legis-
lative nominees to sign statement No.

today when the Democrats placed in

todI The court room
With the split in the Republican
party there is a mighty good chance
for the Democrats to carry Dawson
county this fall and they have placed
in nomination very strong ticket.
A great deal of time was consumed
waiting for the delegates to arrive
from the Lower Valley but the crowd
took it good naturedly and when the
delegates did get into the convention
hall they were greeted with rounds Of
applause and each one was called upon
to address the convention.
While the convention was in ses-
siona committee was selected to meei
Senator Walsh upon his arrival ant
escort him to the convention hall,
where he made a short address to tht
assemb!age.
