PRESENT INCUMBENTS ~ RENOMINATED For County Auditor For Clerk of Distric This ticket placed in nomination yes- terday by the republicans of Pottawatta- mle county, and the list shows that the present incumbents of the several offices to be voted on this fall captured the con- vention with hands down, figuratively speaking. The anti-third term resolution, | which it had been announced would be pre- sented to the convention by one or more of the county delegations, was conspicuous by its absence, and the gathering proved a veritable love feast from start to finish, especially for the ofceholdere seeking re- nomination. There was mot the least dls- cord, at least none that appeared on the surface, to mar the procesdings, and the work of the convemtion was transacted in a thoroughly businessiike manner and in a surprisingly short time. These delegates were felacted to the state, congressional and judicial conven- tions: To State Convention—First district, J. H. Jenks, W. C. Depew, H. C. Brandes; Sec- . Depew, ond dfstrict, J. W.

Starts Without a Speech. When the convention was called to order a few minutes after 11 o'clock by George S. Wright, chairman of the republican county central committee, every precinct was rep- resented by a full quota of delegates ex- cept Kane, outside the city, which failed to hold its primary and select the one del- egate to which it was entitled. After read- ing the call Mr. Wright announced Attor- ney George H. Mayne as temporary chair- man and the conyention selected Charles Atwood as temporary secretary. On as- suming the gavel Chairman Mayne sald he would refrain from making & epeech, as there were Do lesues at present to talk about. The convention them got down to business and named the following com- mittees: Credentials—A. B. Kinkald, Layton; W. ap; Milton Osler, Grove A Neola; ¥. H. Friend, Rock: ford; C. W' McDonald, Council Bluffs; O. 8. Blanchard, Council 'Bluffs. Permanent ' Organization—Jacob Gelger, 2 Washington; W, L. Minden; C. B. Lyman, Dale, Carson; ‘Hrank' Chambers, Hardini C. Loseth, Council Bluffs; Joseph Nansel, wis; Carl Morgan, Council Blufts. Resolutions—A. L. ton, Knox; E. L. Fair, Belknap; W. A. Wilbur, Silver Creek; N. P. Robinson, Neola; N, Swanson, Cres cent; J. G, Wadsworth, Council Blul M. flarl, Council Bluffs. Delrs:h.—l"rlnk Turner, Knox: M. Pal- | mer, Belknap; J. M. Tollinger, Macgdonia: 'G. ‘Wiisol Neola; Ed Canning. Councl Biuffs; Ernest . Hart, Council Blufts; B. H, Lougee, Council Bluffs. A recess was taken for twenty minutus in the bellef that this would prove ample time In which for the committees to formu- late their reports. When noon arrived, how- ever, the committee on credentials was not ready to report, so the convention ad- lourne¢ until 1:30. On the convention reassembling the com- mittee on credentials reported that thero were contesting delegations from Boomer township and recommended’ that both dele- gations be given seats in the convention and permitted to cast one and a half votes euch, the township being entitied to three votes. The report and suggestion were con- curred in and the temporary organization was made permanent on the recommenda- tion of the commitiee on permanent organi- sation, No surprise was msnifested when the ' Reed, 85%; Baird, 27%; Sapp, Cari Y. | committee on resolutions submitted its re- port without including an anti-third-term resolution. It was generally understood that the agitation in this respect had been killed off during the early hours of the morning before the convention. As soon as the resolutions reported by the commit- tee had been adopted Frank Turner of Knox township oftered the resolution endorsing the renomination of Hon. O. D. Wheeler for f the district court, which was en- feally adopted. The committes on delegates having presented its list for the state, congressional and judiclal conven- tions, which proved agreeable to the con- vention, the work of placing the ticket in nomination was begun. Paul Beezley of Oakland started the ball rolling by suggesting that R V. Innes be renominated for county auditor by acclama- tion and this was done. Next in order was the nomination for clerk of the district court and here it was thought the fun would begin. Freeman Reed, the present incumbent and candidate for a fifth term, however, had things well in hand and the nomination went to him on the second formal ballot. It was de- clded to first take an Informal ballot and this resulted as follows: F. L. Reed, 76%; G. G. Baird, 31%; H. V. Battey, 3§; H. M. Brown, 10; B. E. Sayles, 16. The first formal ballot showed that H. V. Battey, deputy olerk of the courts at Avoca and candidate from the east end of the county had the solld vote of the delegations from Grove, Knox, Layton, Lincoln, Macédonia and Pleasant town- ships, but little strength in the city. The ballot resulted in Reed just missing the nomination by ome vote, the vote being: attey, 41; Sayles, 9; Brown, 9. On the second formal ballot Battey drew from Baird and Brown, but falled to beat Reed, the nomlination going to him with 87 votes, as against 51% for Battey, Baird receiving 20, Brown 5 and Sayles 8. Elmer E. Smith had & walkaway for re- nomination for county recorder, as on the informal ballot he recelved 154 votes, against fourteen cast for B. H. Bailey of Loveland and six for R. H. Willlams of this city. On motion the informal ballot was made & formal one and Smith declared the nominee. Then followed the nomination for county attorney and it took two formal ballots to settle it. The informal ballot gave W. H. Killpack, present incumbent of the office, 7; C. F. Kimball, present assistant county attorney, 62, and John M. Galvin 38. The Informal ballot developed the fact that Killpack's strength lay in the coun- try precincts, while Kimball had the best of it In the city. The first formal ballot resulted as follows: Killpack, 85; Kim- ball, 62; Galvin, 34. The second formal ballot gave the nomination to Killpack with ninety-four votes, as against fifty- fiye for Kimball and twenty-four for Gal- vin. Allen Bullls and Henry C. Brandes were renominated for members of the County Board of Supervisors by acclamation, the former for the short term to fill the va- cancy caused by the resignation of B. G. Auld. This brought the nominations to a close. New'Central Committee. George S. Wright was unanimously re- elected chalrman of the county central committee and these were named as mem- bers of that body: Belknap, Elmer Fehr; Darringtol Boomer, G. H. ‘arson, C. L. Linguel; Center, Willam A.' Innman; Crescent, J. B. Mat’ ock; Garner, J. Doliarhide; _Grove, Benjamin A, Osler; Hardin, Perpy' Dryden; Hazel Dell,’ J, H. Swanson; Teek, F.

James and Pleasant townships falled to name their committeemen. Freeman L. Reed, clerk of the district court, has the distinction of belng the second man in the history of polities in Pottawattamie county to recelve a renom- ination for a Afth term for any office. John Bennett served five successive terms as county auditor and at the close of the fifth term was nominated for county treas- urer, was elected and served two successive terms. County Auditor Innes, County Re- corder Smith and County Attorney Kiil, pack have each served two terms in their respective offices, for which they were re- nominated yesterday. Kane Town: » Convention. For justices of the psace, George Carson and Ovide Vien; for constables, Leo Al- bert! and Hiram H. Balrd; for trustee Chris Jensen; for clerk, G. P. Kemp. This township ticket was placed in nom- Ination yesterday by the republicans of Kane township, which includes the city ot Council Bluffs. The convention, which was composed of the delegates from the city precincts to the county convention, was held imme- diately after the close of the county con- vention. George H. Mayne acted as chalr- man and the proceedings were somewhat of the informal order, the business being dispatched with considerable alacrity. Judge Carson, who was appointed by the Board of Supervisors to £l the vacancy caused by the resigmation of Justice Fer- rier, was nominated on the first ballot For the second nomination Ovide Vien de- feated R. T. Bryant, the present incum- bent, by 49 to 26 votes. Constables Alberti and Baird were re- nominated by acclamation, as was Chris Jensen for township trustee. G. P.

FAVORS THE HOMESTEADERS Judge Shiras' Decision in O'Brien County Land Cases Reverse Interior Department. SIOUX CITY, Ia., July 8.—~(Special Tele- gram.) — Declsions in the celebrated O'Brien’ county land cases handed down by Judge Oliver P. Shiras of the federal court were recelved in Sloux City today and are in favor of the homesteade! Twenty-five thousand acres of land are involved in the decision and about forty lawsults effected. The Sioux City & St. Paul rallroad in 1872 built Afty-six and 13-100 miles of rail- road in Iowa and was to get 100 sections of land from the government for every ten miles of road. The company got 500 sec- tions and claimed land for the additional six miles of road, which was refused. I stead of glving the land to the railroad the government dedlcated it to homestead purnoses. The O'Brien county suits have been be- tween homesteaders and persons who pur- chased the land from the old Sioux City & 8t. Paul road. The Department of the In- terfor at Washington some time ago ruled that these purchasers were entitled to potents to the land. Judge Shiras reverses the Interfor department.
