Brief add rentes were made by Judge Saunders. W. A. McAllister and S. C. Gray all ringing true to the republican ideals of cl-an government. 2 The meeting was 6hort, every man present neing in complete accord with the Draotices of tne past year's ad ministration and having no deire to change it. Nominations were quickly made and they were all made bv acclamation, la addition to R .S Dickinson O. O. Gray and W A. McAllister who were uoinmated to succeed, themselves, B. J.

As committeemen w. O. Shannon was named in the first wara T. B Dariincton in the secono and W. W. Waters iu the third. When the meeting adjourned it was pith the asHurance tbat the issues of law enforcement were so clearly made tbat the democratic party dare not dodge them and if that party should choose the same high ground the to ward still belonged to tne republican convention for securing clean govern ment to the city of Columbus, how ever the election shouM result. And there was that confidence of victory which any party which blazes the way for clean government has a right to demand from those who are given the benefits. Democratic Banquet. The democratic central committee of flatte county held a meeting Friday night and they took advantage nf the meeting to invite in all tneir chief lieutenaats and let them listen to tbe clarion voices cf their silver tongned nrators and fill their stomachs with doughnuts and sirong coffee. And all to the end that the onslaughts of republicanism in Platte connty may be stopped before it is everlast ingly too late. For fifty years democratic promises and oratorical climaxes have stood in sharp contrast to democratic perfor mance. No where has this contrast been more marked than in Platte connty. However 'democratic records tics". Judge Hensley scored the home run of ihe evening in a discussion of "fundamental principles". His stories would not look well in print out they carried the house. Edgar Howard spoke on "democrat princi ples", confining his remarks to state politics. Fred Lecron of Platte Cen ter read a non-partisian paper on "why every citizen shonld take apart in politics" and Gene Loomis of Ores ton also read a paper, his subjaot be ing "danger that menaces most".
