wv YITH practically every pre-
W. cinct in the county repre-
wv scented with fun delegations.
with the exception of those
in the St Joe section the repub-
licans of Shoshone county met in
convention at Kellogg last Tuesday
Afternoon to elect delegates to the
state convention which meets at Poca-
tello on August "a and to adopt a
platform defining the attitude of the
party in the campaign. The large at
tendance and the air of cheerful con-
hdence that prevailed among the dele
gates was significant of the widespread
interest among republicans in the
campaign and the certainty of success
in county, state and nation. There
were among the delegates men who
/ had grown old in the service of the
republican party and young men who
were for the first time sitting in the
councils of the party, and all were
inspired with an earnest enthusiasm
! that possesses all men when they ap-
proach a task that goes beyond mere
personal advantage and which they
believe is a real service to their coun-
try. They were evidently acting upon
the idea expressed by one of the
speakers that support of the republi-
can ticket this year is a patriotic duty
The Kellogg convention was in fact
a splendid representation of republi-
canism in Shoshone county and an
ominous forecast of the fate that
awaits the opposition whether it
chooses to meet it with a united or
divided front
