Convention Oall.
We have not received official
call from Chairman P. L. Hall , of
the Democratic State Central Com
mittee , but we would suggest that
a democratic county convention
be held in Valentine on Saturday ,
May 14th , for the purpose of
selecting delegates for the state
democratic delegate convention ,
which meets in Omaha , June 1st
to elect delegates to the St. Louis
democratic National convention
July 6 , 1904. The representation
for Cherry county , based upon
the vote cast for Hon. J. J. Sulli
van in the general election of 1903
is 6 delegates. It is to be hoped
that each precinct in the county
will be represented.

Omicus Oall ,
We would suggest that the dem
ocrats and those believing in the
principles of the democratic
party or interested in the success
of that party , that they hold meet
ings in their respective precincts
to select delegates to attend the
county convention in Valentine ,
Saturday , May 14,1904 , for the
the purpose of selecting delegates
to attend the state democratic dele
gate convention in Omaha June 1 ,
1904. The representation will be
based upon the vote cast for Judge
Sullivan at last election. Each
precinct is entitled to one delegate
