Roe. 7. Messrs. Hess and Andersen were
accordingly declared tha nominees for the
long term.
When Mr. Gorman's name was placed In
nomination for the one-year term to fill
the vacancy caused by the resignation
of Colonel Davenport, he declined to allow
bis name to go before the ' convention
again and the result of the ballot gave Mr.
McConnell 82 and the nomination, against
16 for Deyo and a like number for Gorman.
Friends of Mr. Gorman were consider
ably disappointed that he waa not accorded
a renomlnatlon. Mr. Andersen's candidacy,
however, was boomed at a late hour and
hla friends were out In force,
-ef the candidates little can be said but
what Is known. Mr. Hess haa served six
years on the board, during which time he
baa been president several times and Is
occupying that position at present. Mr.
Andersen Is a representative business man.
He is a well known building contractor
and Is the choice of the Scandinavian citi
zens. Mr. McConnell is well known aa a
prosperous young business man, being a
member of the firm of Joe Smith A Co.
The ticket Is conceded to be not only an
exceptionally strong one, but a thoroughly
representative one, Irrespective of politics.

restoratives and that It makes solid
flesh, muscle and strength, weigh
yourself before taking it, and see
what wonders it will do. This is th
only remedy that has been able to
stand such a severe test. It builds
you up. Each dose means new life,
vitality and strength. Try it. You
