were, present six gentlemen from

W, H. Elclen Secretary. Then the
convention proceeded to nominate a
ticket. M>. Elden was named as a
candidate for treasurer, J. D. Rounds
of Farwell for clerk and James Saxton of Farwell for Sheriff. Up to
this time there had been no discussion but after Mr. Saxton's nomination Supervisor Chapin of Winter-

no nomination should he made for
sheriff, that ordinarily he eotild .support a prohibition candidate but un-;

in no sense a political one, be wusj

after he was named as a candidate
for treasurer he must have eoucludfd
that discretion was apolitical virtue,
for he did not say a word against Ibr j
