TENTH DISTRICT CONVENTION TUESDAY

Republicans Will-Gome Here‘Next Tuesday to Elect a Chairman and Perfect Organisation. The tenth congressional district convention of republicans will be held in Rensselaer next Tuesday, J£jpb. 10th, the same date of tfhe district convention of Knights of Pythias. ' This convention is for the purpose of organizing the district by means of electing a district chairman. The present Chairman is Attorney Will O. Thomas, of Monticello, wlio is a candidate for the republican nomination for i congress. If there are any avowed candidates for the chairmanship we 'have not heard of them, but it is probable that some will show up at the convention. This meeting should start the plan of republicans to name the highest type of men for all positions and it is hoped that a clean man with a clean record will be named for Chairman.

Republicans should not fail to attend the organizing precinct conventions Saturday of this week and the committeemen then selected should come hffte next Monday to choose the county chairman and secretary. Don’t let it be charged that any of us have neglected this preliminary step toward securing the best- men for office and the correction of every objectionable feature that has been charged of partisans in the past. The republican party is to come back into power again only if it offers to the voters the highest standards of government to be administered by men who have the honor to carry out the things which the public demand. The right to make this demand belongs to you, dear readers, and the time to start is at the organization meetings. Turn out Saturday and start the ball for better government rolling.

Don’t 'fail to hear the famous Black Jack Minstrel Troupe at the County Fair.
