Harmony In Chunks, B:8 Time and lvcr)body Jubilant, The Republicans', of IJ.itcs coun ty, met in delegate Convention t Butler last Saturday. At the hour designated in the call W. F. Duvrtll, chairman of the county central com mittee, called the convention to or der and announced the object for which the call was made. The committee suggested the name of R F. Harper, of Charlotie' township, for temporary chairman and on mo tion of Mr. Hales, of Osage, he was duly elected. When Mr. Harper took the chair he suggested the election of a tem porary secretary. On motion of Mr. ,J. II. Funk of Mt. Pleasant was made temporary secretary. C. A. Denton then moved the se lection of committees on resolution, credentials and order of business. They were appointed as follows; Resolution, Miller, Page. Rice, Joyce and Richardson. Credentials B. F. Wix, Gepford, Bradley, Seelinger and Drennnn. Order of business, Denning, Austin, Cham bers, Wyatt and Largent. The committee on credentials sub mitted their report; showing no con test and recommending that the del egates present from each township cast the full vote of the delegation to which township is entitled. Re port adopted. Committee on order of business reported, recommending, 1. Report of committee on cre dentials. 2. Temporary organization be made permanent, and that two as sistant secretaries be elected. 3. Report of committee on res olutions. 4. Selection of S delegates to State Convention at St. Joseph. S. Selection of V delegates to Judicial Convention at Jefferson City. The report was adopted. The chair announced that as the committee on credentials had re. ported, the next matter in order was the selection of the assistant secre taries. Geo. 1 Huckeby was nom inated, but declined. O. D." Austin and W. O. Atkeson were (lien pressed into service. The committee on resolutions then submitted their rcpoit, strongly en dorsing the principles of the Repub lican party as set out in the platform of the national convention ; the ad ministration and nomination ol Theodore Roosevelt for president; the nomination of Charles W. Fair banks for vice-piesident ; denounc ing Democratic methods in this state and demanding home mle for our cities and larger town, and civic purity in public affairs. A motion for the adoption of the resolution as rend, was made and seconded. At this point the following reso. lution was offered as an liiiieuJment to the resolution, to-wit: 'We oppose the conduct or cull trol of our party affairs by fcdctal officeholders, and agree with our great leader, President Roosevelt, that our national and state conven tions and party committees should not be composed of federal cilice holders, because they tend 10 (una machines solely to peddle federal patronage.

SUPPORT r.mk mid file of our party can and will organize and lead it to victory nnd should nkitie indicate who shall enjoy the rewards of faithful party servic?. t , J We, therefore, as Republicans of the party in this county, instruct rill delegates selected nt this conven tion today to either of the state con ventions to cast their votes in said conventions and in all meetings of snid delegates against and use their influence against the election of any individual to any of the honorary positions ot the party that now holds an appointive office under the fedir at government, and as well as any individual that they may have good reason to believe is the tool of those whe are attempting to form a com bination or machine to control fed eral patronage in this state. As soon as the resolution was read, Hon. C. A. Denton arose to advocate its adoption and pleased the friends of the resolution greatly. Geo. P. Huckeby opposed the in troduction of the resolution as tend-; ing to create division among the Bates county Republicans to no good purpose, and weakening them in the future at home, in the district and in the state. His speech was plentifully punctuated with applause and pleased those oppofed to divis ion in the party. B. F. Wix heartily endorsed the sentiment or the resolution in a speech and an anecdote. A viva voce vote was then taken on the adoption of the amendment, and the chair decided it was adopt ed. Mr. Hales, ot Osage, called for a division. The chair decided a division could not be had as the chair had already announced the re sult. Mr. Hales then appealed to the house. The chair was sustained by a vote of S3 for, to Sj against the chair. The resolutions, as amended, were then adopted, very few of the opposition voting. The next order was the selection of delegates, to the state convention at St. Joseph. The townships pre pared their ballots with the result that the following names wete se lected: Dr. J. R. Colson, W. P. Sargent, O. D. Austin, Joe Whin ery, W. P. Hall, Geo. P. Huckeby Henry Moudy and J. W. Bobbett. The following wete elected to the judicial convention at Jefferson City: A. J. Smith, J. R. Hales, Geo. P. Huckeby, Geo. Templeton and R. W. Barton. Delegates to the St. Joseph convention were also in structcd to use all honorable means to secure the election of J. B, Egger of St. Clair county as one of the members of the slate committer from the 6th district. The business being completed the convention ad journed peace and harmor.y pre vailing. Convention Notes. When the resolutions denounc ing ft deral office holders was car ned, Peter Denning, of Chailolte, danced mound nt a lively rate and tin e.v up his hat. His fiicnds ex pectcd to see hit boots come next, but tlicy didn't have votes enough. F. M. Vorit, one of our first ac quaintances in the county was a del egate iu the convention. Col. E. Haines was in his place in the convention Saturday. W. J. Bard, one of the loyal, re liable Republicans of Homer town ship, attended the convention Sat urday. Lee Johnson, Republican candi date for slieiiif two years ago, was a delegate in the convention, and very much opposed to federal ol fice lioldeis. lloiia C. A. Denton led the fight nguinkt leiltr.il office holdets and was the mithor of the amendment icsolution i'lat got through by the akin (J the teeth. Possibly it would not line tven so bad had he gotten the postolbcc instead of Del Wei ton. Dr. C. P. IJowden lulf uf (hi county, now of Appteton City, was an interested spectator at the con vention Saturday. A wide mouth Democrat re marked to a crowd ol Republicans, "I don't see hat the Republicans want to hold a convention for. They can't accomplish anything." F. M. Koontz replied, "Well, its about all they can use the court house for, as cone of them are criminals." That closed the ar gument. A'l the Republicans ought to be satisfied. The resolutors got their resolutions, and the other fellows got the delegates. The postoffice at Butler is at the some old stand notwithstanding the storm of wind. 'United we stand, divided we fall." J. B. Watson has been suggested as a good man for the Republicans to nominate for sheriff. Our Missouri fellows seem to be mighty small potatoes and few in a bill" down at the democratic con vention. The Republican County Con vention for the nomination of a county ticket is just one month off and it is time the people were looking around for candidates. The Republicans want a live ac tive man that can properly repre sent the party before the people for Representaiive and a man, too that can "see as far through a millstone as the nun that picked the h61e." And the other candi dates ought to come up full to the same measurement. In this fight there should be no dummies, but live active teal men. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS.
