Having dispensed with the usual prell :
Inary formalities J. L. Blanchard of Avt
moved that the convention proceed to bal
and that the first ballot for each office
an Informal ballot , thus doing away w
formally placing the candidates In no
Inatlon. The first nomination to be tak

There were six candidates In the Hi

of Garner , 12 ; E. H. Ohlendorf of Coun

The first formal ballot resulted In the no
Inatlon of Smith , the clerk not having ll
to record the result of the ballot befo
on motion the nomination was made unt
tmous.
The Informal ballot for the nomination :

formal ballot resulted aa follows : Jo
Llndt51 ; George H. Scott , 28 ; W. H. K

On the first formal ballot Kllpack Increat
his vote to 75 and Llndt his to 59 , wh

Auditor Iliinler ( o Pick.
The nomination for county auditor
expected to develop considerable of a cc
test and probably a number of ballots 1
fore a selection would be made , but It f
to R. V. Inncs , the present deputy unc
Auditor Matthews , on the second fern
ballot. The Informal ballot gave John
Matthews 27 ; W. M. Shepard , 35 ; N.
Phillips , 13 ; R. V. Innes. 63. The n

On motion of E. L. Shubert the nomlnati
of Mr. Innes was made unanimous.
Dr. V. L. Treynor was nominated :
coroner , the nomination on motion of 1
H. B. Jennings , the present Incumbent , 1
Ing made by acclamation. The nomlnatl
for two members of the Board 'of Com
Supervisors produced a genuine surprise ,
It had been generally supposed that Coloi
W. F. Baker and Jacob Iluncen would
accorder renomlnatlons without any oppo
tlon. There apparently was not any to 3
Hanscn and on motion of Delegate Bards ]
he was declared one of the nomlness by i
clamatlou When the balloting for the otl
nomination was started It devcloed the f.
that Colonel Baker had ah opponent In i
person of J. P. Hess , the well known pre
dent of the Grape Growers' association , I
as It turned out the nomination was tote
to neither of them. When the First precli
of the Fifth ward was reached In the r

The other precincts took the cue and BO
every outside precinct was clamoring

the Informal ballot , It was decided not
make any changes and the clerk announc
the result as follows : Maker. C4 ; Hess , 4
Muyne , 3 ; Matthews , 59. The first fern
ballot was never announced as the votl
was almost unanimous for Matthews and 1
nomination was made unanimous aralc
much cheering and laughter.
This closed the work of the conventlc
the business having been transacted
something less than two hours and It a
lourned sine die. The delegates from Ka
