Thirty-seven delegates representing about on-thlrd of tho precincts of the county, met In convention at tho court houao Satutday afternoon, heard an address by J. J. Halllgau, appointed pleven dolegaios to the stato conven tion, passed resolutions endorsing President Wilson, the democratic con gross, the state administration and Keith Neville nnd tho county ticket. The meeting was a most harmonious one, the culy ripple of friction came when Sam Reynolds objected to the plank endorsing the rural credit bill passed by congress. Ho moved to strike out that particular paragraph for the reason, ho said, that so far as the hural credit nffected tho farmer It was a farce. But Sam was largely In the minority and the plank s-tnod as written. Tho convention was called to order by County Chairman Streltz, and J. J. Halllgnn elected chairman. Upon tak ing the chair Mr. Ilalligau attempted to arouso somo enthusiasm hy alluding to tho alleged good things tho demo cratic party had performed during the past three and one-half years, and the excellent 'prospocts for Wilson's re election, but tho hearts of tho demo crats present seemed to havo turned to stone and not a murmor of applause was given the chairman. Mr. Hallt gan's remarks, viewed from a demo cratic standpoint, were good and should have created enthusiasm, but perhaps tho temperature of tho room prohibit ed undue exortion cf lungs or body. Attorney Lesllo Basklns was elected secretary, committees on credentials and resolutions were appointed, nnd when the credential .00111111111000 re ported tho temporary organization was made pormunent.
