Few Make Vain Attempt to criticise
Governor Car1son's Appointment
Of Special Prosecutor
GOVERNOR WINS UNANIMOUSLY Y

ga tempest in Teapot" is the way
the people characterize the attack made
on Governor Carlson by his enemies in
the county convention held at the court
house last Saturday.
The attack on the governor was not
unexpected since throughout the day a
couple of lawyers were seen Industrious
ly buttonholing farmer delegates and
telling them what tremendous (:)
political blunder had been made by the
governor.
However, the effort to discredit the
chief executive of the state did not
work out as well as his critics had
hoped it would, and the convention
adopted strong resolutions favorable to
Governor Carlson and his sdmipistra-
tion.
A little after four O'Clock the con.
vention was called to order by Chair
man AacRae, and Secretary canady
read the call. AZ soon e. q call. was
made 70, temporary Chairman, J. +. Eth
81 as9p - Itad- ~. ~ Bessd5:
ley who was elected without opposi-
tion. W. 8, Park of silt and Mrs.
Aollie Ritter Of New Castle were
named as, secretaries.
The appointment of the usual COM
mittees on credentials was dispensed
with and the Republicans present were
declared the, delegates with power to
cast the vote of each precinct delega-
tion.
A committee on resolutions was aP-
pointed consisting of Ollie Thorson, j.
E. Ethel, A. P. Ralston, @. 9. Nc
. Murphy and J. =. sipprelle. +
And right here is whore the Ethiop-
ian emerged from the woodpile. Judge
Beardsley called J. 3. Ethel to the
chair while he addressed the conven-
tion. He stated that he had learned
that Governor Carlson had appointed
q special prosecutor for Garfield
county under the new prohibitory law,
E. q. Kingsbury, Democrat, and
Beardsley said this was not right in
asmuch as there were number Of Re-
publican attorneys in the county who
might have been appointed. He then
read resolution which he had pre-
pared, protesting against such action,
censuring the governor and demanding
that the appointment of Kingsbury be
recalled forthwith. He moved the
adoption of the resolution.
On motion the resolution was referred
to the committee on resolutions. After
this committee had heard the explana-
tion that Mr.. Kingsbury's appointment
was recommended for case pending
and in confirmation of his appointme 1T
by Judge Smith Of the county court
the committee sidetracked Beardsley g
resolution and adopted one to the Of
feet that the chairman and secretary
Of the county central committee write
the governor the full facts in the case.
When the committee returned and u
motion was made to adopt their resolu-
tions ]. W. Bell moved - IN amend
mont that the Beatdsley resolution de-
nouaeing the governor be substituted
for the resolution submitted BY the
eeasaittss. >.s n D sa
