BIG ASSEMBLY HERE ON FRIDAY
Large Delegations From All Sections
of Prowers County Show the
Party Members Are Taking
Active Interest in the
Campaign.

The gathering of large delegations
of leading farmers and business men
from all sections of the county ut the
court house last Friday morning was
a marked evidence of the live interest
that the republicans of the county are
taking in the coming campaign and a
pledge that the solid citizenship of our
county cannot be shaken off a firm
foundation of sane government by the
hot air waves being blown broadcast
by demagogues and anarchists. Ths
crowd contained many new faces ow-
ing to the interest taken by many cit
izens who are to cast their votes here
for the first time either on account of
age or change of residence. Many
others were veteran workers who have
seen years of service in the party
ranks, and there were few sprinkled
through the crowd that had been pres
ent at the organization of the party
in Prowers county when the first re-
publican county convention met in Sep
tember, 1880
Some idea of the growth of the
county can be obtained from the fact
that the number of delegates and al
ternates elected to the assembly of
last Friday almost equalled the aver
age vote of the candidates on that
first ticket at the election in Novem-
ber, 1ss9-and most Of them were
elected too.
When Judge CRANKY Hillyer called
