THE TICKKT The ticket that the Republican convention placed in the Held is, acknowledged the weakeat ever presented by the Republicans in this county. Possibly three men nre considered strong men on the ticket, the others are not in the Utroug class aud will bu defeated. tlBUKt'rv A r'EAtUltH The plalfoim is a inws of re- hash, decidedly larking oi wrong principles nnd will gain no attention atten-tion from the voters of the munly.. A week clause is inserted favoring local option, but was inserted more as a blind than for effective work. 1 THE PLATFORM" I One of the features of the contention con-tention was the disunity which existed ex-isted In many of the larger delega-1 delega-1 tions. The delegates bad failed to 'settle their differences at home and 1 brought tIiL.il titi ill' 'r tiifl -mWito. ! tion. One Mayor Westphal of !pieasaut Grove caused considerable Merriment when he announced that ' Ids candidate represented the majority major-ity of tun Plwwht Grove delegation A fellow delegate arose nnd In a sassy speech showed that Mr. Westphal West-phal only represented about three otlt of it delegation of about thirty, five. Commenting ou the split in the Pleasant GrovB delegation he saidt "I believe that If we had the unity of the Pleasant Grove delegation, delega-tion, the Democrats will have the next fall election." It was not unusual un-usual for the delegate, In seconding the nomination of somo one, to eayi "In behalf of Jrt ot the delegation." Unity was foreign to most of the delegations aud wlien the convention was brought to a close tlio feeling seemed to be but little better, NORTH END WISH It was a north end convention, the south end nf tile county only netting three of three of the candidates. candi-dates. This part of the proceedings proceed-ings were cleverly worked by the delegations from the north and had they not been willing to concede some nf the offices to the south they could have taken the whole ticket. The best of feelings do nut exist over this part of the ticket and It may have onie effect on the support sup-port received by the ticket this fall. No great confidence won expressed In favor of the ticket nominated and the Republicans reallxe that the ticket is a weak one. HOMER MAKEH HIT Chairman Honler was a redeeming redeem-ing feature of theconvention became of the manner In which he forced the things through. Parlimentary details were abandoned and dhpatch was the watch-word.
