TO
MEET JULY THIRD
Under the Law the Republicans Of
Crawford County Will Meet in
Convention i'm DenisOn July 3
SELECT TWO SETS DELEGATES
Delegates to the State Convention at
Des MOines to be Selected Also
Delegates to Judicial Convention

The Republican county convention
under the law, will convene in Denson
on Saturday, July 3, at II o'clock A.
M. This convention Is called to elect
delegates to the state convention and
to the judicial convention both of
which will meet in the near future. The
state convention at Des Moines will
have the adoption of a platform and
the election of those officers who failed
to secure the required 35 per cent ma.
jority at the June primaries. The ju-
dicial convention will meet in Cedar
Rapids to nominate candidates for the
supreme bench.
The county convention of July 3d.
will also transact such other business
as may rightfully come before it, and
the delegates elected at the primaries
to attend this convention should bear
In mind that the convention convenes
at II o'clock in the forenoon. If they
are promptly on hand so that the con-
vention can be called at that hour, it
may be possible that an early adjourn
ment can be had. We trust every del
egate elected will find time to attend
the convention, as there must be
majority represented in the convention
in order that business be transacted.
Following the convention there will
be a meeting of the Republican county
central committee, and those who make
up this committee should be on hand
for the formal organization. The sue.
cess of the coming campaign and of
Crawford county's part in elccting the
next president of this country depends
upon a good live central committee.
Crawford county will be entitled to
eight delegates to the state convention
at Des Moines and to eight to the ju.
dicial convention at Cedar Rapids. The
dates for these conventions have not
been set. but they will be early in
July.
