Try "Tho Kock Inland Way" to Colorado. The Democrats Monday followed the load set by the Republicans last week and had one of the largest conventions in their history. A lot of the fellows from the south end of the county came in Sunday night on a Santa Fe Block train and all the rest were her early the next morning.

There were a lot of ambitious as pirants for honors at the hands of the convention but most of the booms died in their infancy, which waa perhaps a good thing for the owners, as it saved them possible grief later. It was nearly. 3 o'clock when Dr. Trivett called the convention to order and he proceeded at once to set off a few fireworks. He told of the time when it was pretty lonesome to be a Democrat and worked in some Scripture because of the large crowd present, saying that there were "7000 who had not bowed the knee to Baal." He said the committee had selected J.

Y. Waugh for chairman and A. H. Meseke for secretary, which officers were endorsed and afterwards made permanent. 1 lie committee on credentials were F.

Meyers, Jas. Parmiter, Mich. liunfl. H. Michaelis, H.

baffry, T. M- Bunger, Robt. McClelland, R'. R. Jones, Sam Crader and Gus Schultz, and they recommended the nominations in the order they follow.

While the committees wore out, H. Hershberger of Eskridge was drafted for a speech and he soon made it evi- dent that he was no slouch at the busi- ness. He is a fluent strong speaker and said he was always ready to answer "here" when his party or his country Davis however drew very weak applause. Ed Gehrt moved that the vote be by acclamation except when there was more than one candidate, when it should be by ballot, the chairman of each delegation to announce the vote. Then came a search for a representative.

Hershberger, Waugh, Trivett, L. T. Rice, Lafontaine and Moritz Hund were all named but with great unanimity they each declined. Then Trivett made a flowery speech and named Wm. Rinehart and he was it.

The child was born. Will this joke turn out like it did when the Republicans named him four years ago and he was elected? Hardly. R. L. Shumate named J.

M. Lee of Harveyville for treasurer and he was nominated by acclamation, as was also A. H. Meseke of Alta Vista for county clerk, on motion of J. H.

Michaelis. Both are mighty strong and capable men and will put up a stiff fight. Three good men were entered in the race for sheriff, Frank Schmidt and Frank Wicdeman of Alma and Louis Schweitzer of Eskridge. After some fussing around, Schmidt's name was withdrawn and the ballot stood 71 to 13 in Wiedemann's favor. Dr.

Trivett made a red hot speech on the county attorney subject. He plead for a change and the retiring of the twins who now run the office; he wanted the strongest man named and moved that an informal ballot be taken to determine the strength of the two candidates. Among other things he said: "Gentlemen of the convention, you have now reached a point in the sched ule that every honest voter in this county, without regard to party, awaits with bated breath your action here today. Two eminently honest, progressive and thoroughly capable young men, either of whom will be pleased to serve the whole people as county attorney, will be placed before you for your consideration and action. Either J.

R. Moreland or Oscar Schmitz is honest to the core; either of them bears the marks of common decency. Nominate either one of these eminent lawyers and you will have an honest administration of the office of county attorney. Nomi nate either of these distinguished attor- I neys and you will banish from1 that office the political stench that is so nausating and distasteful to the honest voters of the county. Nominate either of them and there will be no more jobs set up to bleed the bes.t citizens of the county no more hold-ups.

Nominate either of these worthy lawyers and you will eliminate forever from the body politic that pair of unholy twins that have cursed our county for the last two years." The ballot was a secret one and resulted Oscar Schmitz 54, J. R. Moreland 30. Schmitz was then made the nominee and made a neat speech of acceptance. These were nominated by acclamation: Fred Frey for register of deeds.

Oscar Deans for county superintendent. Percy Worsley for clerk of the court. J. H. Jones for surveyor.

J. T. Keagy for probate judge. Someone named Dr. O.

E. Webb for coroner but he was "Johnny on the spot" and refused. He said they play ed that trick on him once before and couldn't do it again. While he had the floor he proceeded to make a strong speech against Tom Kelly, et al. Dr.

W. H. H. Smith of Alta Vista was then nominated by acclamation, on motion of Carl Zeckser. In the second district Wm.

Pringlo was renominated by acclamation for commissioner, but in the third district a change was made. Wm. Miller of Wabaunsee township was named in Bsc for Hatching Alma, Kansas. imepiioiie via i kaicv. hit- (J.

Si H. ll-y, 1 im John Waugh had a hard time as chairman. He said it waa clear out of his line, but Trivett coached him through and he was mighty glad when he got it olF his hands. There are three Republicans on the ticket, Rinehart, Keagy and Deans. The latter was not present and it is not known whether he will accept or not.

Judge Keagy was present and made a short talk. Oscar Schmitz is a young man of fine legal attainments, a graduate of the State University law school and would be a credit to the office. August Meseke will poll a large vote, as will also Fred Frey. A. T.

Taylor, Frank Wiedemann, Ed Worsley and H. Hershberger went to Manhattan that evening to be present at the senatorial convention as delegates Tuesday. They expected Hersh bei ger to be named for state senator. The ticket on the whole can be con sidered a strong one and it insures a good set of officers whichever side wins. There are enough independent voters in this county to make the result a doubtful one on a number of offices, which brings promise of a pretty warm campaign.

The only thing Eskridge got out of both conventions was Rinehart. They are in mighty good shape down there to vote "just as they please" as the late Uncle Chut Thomas would say.

Fraunce's tavern in New York, where Washington bade farewell to hisofilcers, has been bought by the Society of the Sons of the Revolution, and is to be pre served. It is well that this should be done, for we should not be allowed to forget that the first president was a very human man, who Inspired affection In thope ith whom he fought. The tears shed at that famous farewell account for the success of the revolution under Washington's lead better than a score of volumes of history could do. According to one of the greatest dl plomatists, "it is the modest boast of modern diplomacy that its office is the removal of misunderstandings." That is a pretty good sort of business for i everyone to be engaged in. It is much better to give your neighbor an opportunity to tell the truth than to exert yourself to prove that he Is a liar.
