Above is briefly and succinctly stated
the result of the Republican city pri
mary last Saturday evening in the city
hall as per call
F M Rathburn was chairman of the
caucus and C W Barnes secretary
It was perhaps the briefest city cau
cus over held in the city of McCook and
one of the most harmonious In less
than ton minutes it was all over
The nominations wore almost all ro
uominations The exceptions were J E
Kolley for V S Perry as councilman
for the First ward Mr Perry going on
the school board with C W Barnes
The old city central committeo was
reelected A Harnett C B Gray V
T Coleman C I Hall
The election of the ticket which is a
good strong one is assured
The caucus is practically an endorse
ment of the city administration of the
past year which has been admittedly
good and conservative
