| Show FELLOW REPUBLICS republicans OF BOX ELDER COW COUNTY aib adv because a 1 couple of disgruntled on a tee technical point of 0 order were enabled to deny me a heiting healing upon the floor of our recent convention after I 1 had been granted that privilege by the body of tile the house and had been invited to the platform by the presiding officer and because several of 0 the best men in and out ol of the convention had seen and heard and approved of 0 my paper and had advised me to present it to the convention and lastly because several after the convention expressed to me a desire to hear the article and signified their disapproval approval lis and surprise at the action ot of these men w who ho had been counted among that hat broad inin minded ded free hearted class in which our baity abounds one man a peer to either of these would be champions expressing a belief that it if it had been put to that crucial test of a unanimous vote note that I 1 would have hae won out but for the votes notes of these stalwarts stal warts therefore 1 I take pleasure in having the paper published as follows believing that a more harmonious and congenial condition could exist in ill our county republican ranks than what we now have permit me to set forth the he following rude and imperfect outlines in view of that end this plan calls for just a little more work than we are wont to extend I 1 in n that direction but for the ex etra exertion I 1 believe we will be many times repaid and let us bear in mind the old adage there is no excellence without labor heretofore tho the election campaign of each time and season has been put into operation not by careful thou thought lit and counsel on oil the part of the baity as a whole as to the most consistent and valuable steps to take but we have come together hurriedly iu in convention as several delegations and different factions each perhaps with some sort of scheme to manipulate for a selfish purpose and inthe it the safeguard of counsel has been sought it has often been with some other like faction by way ot of inaugurating a swap of support on candidates be that as it may wo we continued on page six J WWW REPUBLICA 4 as OF BOX ELDER COUNTY continued front from first page must fiust admit that thai there has nol lot always leen been tho the unity or of purpose nor the expression of good gocia will that should bo be desirable some delegations have come into the conventions with practically no plan of work before ta ein only to 10 watch ivantch arid wait as the N work ork progressed tor for something to act upon and then as a rule for lack of time and acquaintance with the subject matter they hale not dot been able 0 o 0 discriminate wisely as to which way votes totes un known to tile them have been nominated for whom they have elther either lent their support or 0 withheld it as fancy would suggest worthy nominees ma may have been turned down thus to the advantage ot of less worthy ones conventions are arc too much of 0 claptrap affairs for cool deliberations even in state conventions the same conditions ire aro to be found I 1 have seen as is many as tour four delegations or 01 rather 1 actions for each delegation and followers working one and aird the sanio same office and a delegation nor noc knowing aught either so to speak split up votes vote and scattered them to the faur our winds as candy thrown to children just to see the cramble cramb lc the plan I 1 would suggest is this let lei there here bo be a republican Republic au county council composed ot of a chairman a vice chairman it i second vice chairman and a secretary these to ac act together with all the precinct chairmen in the county to complete the council this would correspond much WHIP tile the plesent committee out but let id the ino labors 01 me proposed bounell be more specific and broader IP ID span of 0 action let heir labors begin on tho the first saturday in in august of each and

tile the diozt suitable candidates available for the positions those precincts not had representation on oil the county ticket should have their wishes conceded to as far as is consistency would peri
