DEMOCBATISJN SESSION Bryan's Friends in Absolute Control of Democratic County Con vention Last Saturday. » ENDORSE HIS BALTIMORE WORK Considerable Opposition to His Balti more Action in Convention. But Lacked Leadership. Harmony was the keynote harped, upon by the leaders of Holt county democracy at their county convention held last Saturday. A good sized scrap developed, however, over the question of instructing the delegates to the state convention to support John C. Brynes of Columbus for state chairman, and a resolution to so in struct the delegation was voted down by the convention by a vote of 29 to 14, after addresses for the resolution had been made by J.F. O’Donnell, T. V. Golden and John A. Haimuii uiiu speeches against the resolution had been made by D. A. Doyle and J. J. Harrington. While a resolution*in structing the delgation was voted down we understand that ten and possibly eleven of the thirteen dele gates will support the candidacy of Mr. Brynes The convention was called to order and J. A. Donohoe was elected tem porary chairman and W. A. Wheeler of Atkinson temporary secretary. The necessary committees were "ap pointed and the convention adjourned qnttl 2 o’clock. When the convention reconvenced at 2 o’clock the committee on per mant organization reported that the temporary organization be made per manent, which report was adopted. The committee on credentials then reported and It was found that nine townships were represented. Sham rock being unrepresented upon motion Charles Brown of that township, who was present, was allowed a seat In the convention to represent Sham rock township. Judge Harrington as chairman of the committee on resolutions then presented the following resolutions; The democracy of Holt county in convention assembled, renews and re affirms iti allegiance to the time honored principles of Jefferson, Jack son, Cleveland and Bryan. We re cognize that the all important, para mount question confronting the peo ple at this time is whether the Govern ment shall be administered of, for and by the people, or of, for and by the in terests and we rejoice in the leader ship in this great cause for humanity of that great champion of human rights, Governor Woodrow Wilson, and heartily congratulate the people for in him they have a champion equal to the occasion and worthy of the cause. We heartily endorse the candidacy of Governor Ashton C. Shallenberger for United States Senator. We com mend him for tne record that he has made in the cause of Progressive Government. We unqualifiedly and unreservedly endorse the candidacy of the entire Democratic state, congressional, sen atorial, legislative and county tickets. We approve and unqualifidely en dorse the conduct and work of our distinguished citizen and greatest democrat, Hon. William J. Bryan, at the Baltimore convention. By his patriotism, courage and great ability, he gave to the party a platform and candidate truly progressive, and free from the influences of predatory wealth, and we therefore pledge him nur continued confidence and admira tion. The resolutions were adopted as read without debate, although J. F. O’Donnell tried to get the eye of the uhair prior to the puttingof the motion but failed to receive recognition. Many of the delegates present had de clared themselves as opposed to any resolution being adopted by the con vention lauding Bryan, or his action at the Baltimore convention, but when the resolutions were read they lacked a leader to bring the fight be fore the convention. Immediately after the adoption of the resolutions D. A. Doyle secured the eye of the chair and moved that a committee of five be selected to select thirteen delegates to the state convention. This was objected to by John Harmon who held that it was undemocratic for the democrats to select their delegates in that manner and he thought that the committee should report their list back to the convention and have the convention elect them. This view was taken by T. Y. Golden who said that Mr. Doyle’s method of selecting delegates was the republican method and should not be adopted by the democrats. He referred to the select ion of the delegation from Douglas county to the republican state con vention as an object lesson of this sort of politics. He might have also said that the delegates to the demo cratic state convention from Doug las were selected in the same manner, the selection made by Jim Dahlman and his friends on the county com mittee. Mr. Doyle finally accepted an amendment that the list be referr ed back to the convention for their approval and the motion was adopted. The chair named as that committee: D. A. Doyle, N. J. Tuller, John Moler, J. J. Harrington and William Morgan. Before the committee had retired to make their selection the only real scrap of the convention was pulled off. J. F. O’Donell offered a resolution lauding the work of J. G. Brynes as state committeeman and instructing the delegates to the state convention to vote for his re-election as state chairman as long as his name was be fore the convention. D. A. Doyle, who is always ready for a scrap and who has not graced democratic con ventions In recent years with his presence, arose and protested against the adoption of the resolution. He said that the resolution was a direct slap at the Peerless Leader and he did not want to see the Holt county delegation do anything that would in \.nj way hamper Mr. Bryan or that would attempt to discredit his leader ship of the party in this state. He said that the parties back of the reso lution wanted to discredit Bryan for the part he played in the Baltimore convention and the resolution in question was a result. Judge Har rington also lopposed the resolutions for the reasou he said that he did not want the delegation to go to the con vention as a pack of slaves bound to the candidacy of any man. J. P. O’Donell spoke In favor of his reso lution and threw a few bard shots in to some of the politicians who were after Brynes scalp, terming them as grafters and crooks. T. V. Golden and J. A. Harmon also spoke in favor of the iresolution but Mr. Doyle and and Mr. Harrington had the conven tion well in hand and the resolution was defeated by a vote of nearly two to one. The committee recommended the following as the delegates to the state convention and they were elect ed by the convention: D. A. Doyle, J. J, Harrington, T. V. Golden, J. F. O’Donnell, Arthur Ryan, John A. Harmon, G. M. Daly, J. A. Donohue, N. J. Tuller, T. J. Wilburn, J. L. Fisher, John A. Robertson, Bob liankSr ♦ M. H. McCarthy was re-elected chairman of the county central com mittee after which the convention ad journed. “Were all medicines as meritorious as Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy the world would be much better off and the percentage of suffering greatly decreased," writes Lindsay Scott, of Temple, Ind. For sale by all dealers. John F. Lockwood of O’Neill and Miss Ethel Bensen of Orchard, were united in marriage by the county judge at the county court room last Saturday.

C. E. Hail, who attended the state convention as a delegate from this county, did not return with the balance of the delegatihn but went on to Chicago for a few days visit. When he informed some of the balance of the delegation that he was going on to Chicago before his return they asked him if he was going to attend the “Bull Moose” convention. This be strenuously and vigorously denied, but said that he was going to visit a brother who lives there and who has been seriously ill for the past two months.

Sioux City News: Judge R. R. Dick son and family and Thomas Birming ham, president of the First National bank, Mrs. Birmingham, Hugh Bir mingham and John J. Boyle, all of O’Neill, Nebr., passed through Sioux City today in their motor cars, bound for Lake Okobojl. That Nebraska is alive with politics is their report. The defection of M F. Harrington from the democratic party to the Bull Moose party is still a matter of comment. Both Wilson and Roosevelt are strong, but a camp aign for Wilson by Bryan would carry the state for him, they think. Crops are in fair condition,although the effect of the late spring is being seen.

County Clerk McNlchols has receiv ed word from the secretary of the state board of equilzation that the real estate valuation of Holt county as returned to the state board by the Holt county board of equilzation, had been increased by the state board 5 percent and gave notice that the members of the Holt county board could appear before the state board on August 13 to show cause why such in crease should not be made. The real estate assessment of Holt county was made pretty high by the Holt county board, especially In Grattan and Shields townships and an increase of 5 per cent would make it very high in these townships.
