Quite a sensation was sprung in the committee meeting when State Senator Nick M. Bradley of the sev- enteenth district arose and announc- ed that he was already pledged in his choice for senator. He stated, how- ever, that he believed his choice would also be that of the voters of the county, and that he would take the stump in support of his candidate. This brought out applause, as it was understoed that he mean Congress- man David A. DeArmond. Quite a fight was put up for the convention to nominate county offi- cers, but the committee decided to hold a primary, and fixed the date for March 29. Johnson county led in the matter of its primary two years ago, and was the first county to declare for Governor Dockery. W. B. Moreland, a presperous mer- chant of Urich, Mo., was in the city the last of the week and favored us with a pleasant call. He had his dates set ahead to September, 1904, thereby making him our banner sub- seriber by a few months, that place being formerly held by A. M. Fritze.
