The committee on resolutions pre
sented the following, which was en
thusiastically received and unani
mously placed on record as the voice
of Sherman county Republicanism:
Resolved, That we, the Republicans
of Sherman county, in convention as
sembled, do re-affirm our allegiance t<>
the Republican party, unreservedly, un
der the administration of President
Roosevelt, and so pledge ourselves to
use all honorable effort to secure ins
nomination and election.
We further endorse and commend the
work of our member in congress, the
Hon. M. P. Jvinkaid, particularly- for
his work m securing the passage of tbe
bill known as the homestead bill.
We further endorse the administra
tion of our governor. John H Mickey,
who has been tried in that important of
fice and found to be a faithful and effi
cient executive officer.
We also endorse each and every act
of our retiring chairman, the Hpn. H
Sine sar, who has so honorably and
faithfully discharged tiie duties incum
bent upon him ap to command the ad
miration and respect of all parties and
all persons. We extend to Mr. Smelser
our thanks and gratitude for his ser
vices.
We heartily approve the action of the
State Central Committee in recommend
ing that the State Convention nominate
a candidate for the U. S. senate.
We further pledge onrselves to sup
port the candidates of our National,
state and county conventions, knowing
the success of our party means the
safety and prosperity of our nation.
On motion the delegates to the
senatorial convention were selected
from the southern townships of Sher,
m°n county,more easily accessible tq
i the probable place for holding said
] convention, and were as follows: E. j
Munn, P. G. Paige, Bert Edwards, |
John Mathewson, T. 0. Chamber
lain and T. Pleasance. Three alter
I nates were also chosen, being, J. A.
| Stev'eus, G.Van and D. Orrusby. The
delegation was instructed to use all
honorable efforts to secure the re
' nomination of Judge Aaron Wall for
j °
i state senator from this 16th district,
i j
| Judge Wall's name being received
I with great enthusiasm from the con
vention
The following delegation to the j
Republican state convention was se
lected, but uninstructed: Aaron
Wall, W. R Mellor, H. Smelser, T.
Ojendyk, R. P. Starr and T. C
Chamberlain.
Following came nominations for
Representative, the following gen
tlemen being placed before the con
vention: H. Smelser, E. G. Paige
and L. N. Smith, resulting in Mr.
Smelser’s nomination, and the gen
tleman being called before the con- i
vention replied in a few earnest and
well chosen words making a most fa-1
vorable imbressiou upon his hearers.
The office of county attorney de
veloped, on informal ballot, two
candidates, J. S Pedler, the present
incumbent, and R. P. Starr How- j
ever, before a formal ballot could I
be called for, the latter gentleman
got the floor and in a irraeefui and
befitting manner, withdrew his can
didacy and Mr. Pedler's nomination
was made by acclamation. Mr.
Starr made a host of new admirers
and clinched his old ones by his gra
cious act in the interest of harmony,
and was rouudiy applauded. He
also enlivened the regular proceed <
ings by a few minutes' witty- speech |
which proved he has oratorical abil |
ity surprising to even his close
friends.
On motion. W. R. Mellor was 1
elected chairman of the county ceu-«
tral com mi tee.
The county central commitee was
instructed to fill any vacancy that
mav occur.
The convention then adjourned.
Lack of time and space precludes
further or more extended mention;
of the proceedings this week, or edi
torial comment on the convention’s
work. We think it was a duty well
done and the ticket a winner and one
of the best that could he selected.
--i
To-day will probably see the con-;
elusion of the present session of con
gress.
Last Saturday morning. President
Roosevelt signed the bill opening
for sale 416,000 acres of land in the
Rosebud Agency in South Dakota.
A bill to provide for holding ses
sions of the federal court at Grand
Island, which passed the house, rt
cently, has been vetoed by the de?
partraent of justice as unnecessary. !
Up to the hour of goiDg to press,
Judge Sedgwick still stands out
against the appointment of Hairy
Lindsay as reporter of the supreme
court. Judge Sedgwick evidently
holds the press of the state in con
tempt, and iu the language of Van
derbiitsays, in substance,“The press
be D—d.”
J udge Parker of New Y ork seems
to be getting the edge on the demo
cratic nomination for president,
despite the frantic efforts of the
Bryanites to knock him out of the
box. Matters must have reached a
desperate crises indeed when Bryan
goes to Chicago and hires a hall to
make a speech against Parker and
his lieutenants
Congressman Kinkaid’s bill giving
homestead rights in the sand hills to
040 acres of land passed the senate
last Thursday, and later was signed
by the president. This is a big victory
for homesteaders in a great part of
the Big Sixth, and will undoubtedly
prove just the thing to take up all
the vacant sand hills country, over
which there has been somuchdispute
of late between cattlemen and the
goverment.
The Republican primary of Elm
township last Friday evening selected
as tlieir candidates for township offi
cers, O. A, Clark for clerk. II. Burtner
for treasurer and a Mr. Estabrook for
justice of the peace. As delegates to
the supervisor convention, they chose A.
Zahn, H. Burtner and Mr Weller. The
delegates to the county convention
will be found in the regular convention
proceedings.
