County Democrats
Choose Good Ticket

Gratis are congratulating them
selves upon the SPLENDID ticket
nominated at the county assem-
bly, in Golden last Saturday and
upon the unanimity Of spirit dis
played all thru the deliberations.
Not a place on the ticket went
begging and not a place was fill
ed by a weakling or a person for
whom the party or any of its
supporters will need to apologize.
AS has been known, for the
past several weeks the Demo
Gratis have been holding little
dinners in different parts Of the
county in order to bring the DIFF
ferent precinct workers and the
leaders in the different localities
to a harmonious attitude looking
towards the success of the state
and county ticket. The result of
these little gatherings was very
noticeable in the assembly and
very gratifying to those who
were sponsors for the meetings,
as not a ripple or a bubble of dis
sention or strife appeared upon
the surface.
County Chairman Harley D.
West called the meeting to order
and called upon Secretary Chas.
Pike to read the call, after
which he stated that the next
thing in order would be the NOM
ination Of temporary chairman.
Judge J. w. Barnes was the
unanimous choice of the conven-
ton and Chas. Pike was selected
in the same manner for Secre-
tary. Mrs. Mandy OF Edgewa-
ISI was dloO lllS UNANIMOUS
choice for assistant secretary.
Chairman Judge Barnes was
escorted to the chair and in his
very able and eloquent manner
delivered a most comprehensive
address commencing the Wilson
administration and pointing out
some of the defects in the Re
publican state and county admin
istration.~ -
A motion was made that the
committee on credentials be dis
pensed with as there were no
contests, and that the Democrats
present from the different pre-
cincts be declared the delegates
