THREE CONVENTIONS IN TOWN
Republicans, Democrats and Pro-
gressives Hold Meetings Today.
NICE HARMONY TO PREVAIL
Outlook is that Each Assembly VIII
Not ne Hardened with Any In-
ternsI strife Among It's
Members.

Three conventions will meet in Council
Bluffs today all county conventions, re-
publican. democratic and progressives.
The socialists will also meet at their
headquarters on Upper Broadway and
ratify the nominations made at the prt-
mary election. But in the other conven-
tions there will be some interesting pro-
ceedings
In the republican convention the chief
fight will be for the nomination for
county attorney, the four candidates di-
viding the primary vote 20 such an extent
that neither succeeded in getting the re-
qured s. per cent Of the total vote cast
The candidates, f. r. jackson. II. "
Battey, Thomas Q. Harrison and G. u.
Swanson have succeeded in dividing up
the convention delegates in about the
same manner that the primary ballots
were divided. IL the estimates Of compara-
strength are true, and this may result In
a deadlock that will consume some time.
There is also TO be a fight in the re-
publican convention over the credentials
of some OF the delegates. particularly
those from the first precinct Of the First
yard, where IL is claimed that there were
some discrepancies.
The utmost harmony will also prevail
IN the democratic convention. The chief
concern OF the delegates will be 70 find
some suitable candidates to FIJI the va
eancy caused by the resignation yester-
day Of George L. Thomas OF this city. who
was nominated at the primaries as the
candidate for the legislature. Notice OF
the resignation OF Mr.. Thomas was given
kssN rVsIag "a ma
authoritative yesterday by long distance
message over the telephone to County
Auditor Hannah from tho secretary Of
state at Des Moines. Mr. Thomas, who
was formerly a farmer residing in Boo
rner township, has decided to remove his
family TO California As running mate
for Representative John T. Hazen OF
Avoca he was expected 10 be q strong
candidate.
Full Progressive Ticket.
In the progressive convention full
county ticket will be selected by the dele
gates as only three candidates were voted
for at the primaries. Following are the
delegates that will compose the republican
and democratic conventions;
