II. Il. LEE SDIMERMAN
LANDS AS DELEGATE

Hon. R. E. Lee Simmerman and
Ohio County was honored by the 4th
District Democratic Convention Tues
day, by the selection of Mr.. Simmer
man as one of the two representatives
of the district in the National Demo-
cratic Convention, to meet in San
Francisco.
While Mr.. Simmerman is not of our
party, yet We count him as one Of our
good Democratic friends, and as a
fellow townsman, a citizen of our
County, we take special pride in the
fact that he is to represent our neigh
bors in the coming gathering of the
unterrified hosts in the far west.
Though confidently and between you
and us, we believe that wild goose
could have been found nearer home to
chase.
