The Progressive party held an enthusiastic convention this Saturday afternoon in the west room of the court house and named a splendid ticket, as published above. There were no contests for any office, the nominations being by acclamation. In fact, for the most part, a slate had been made up jmd the naming of the candidates simply carried out the preparations of a number of the party leaders. The candidates for county council were not named, the convention authorizing the county central committee to supply these candidates and also to fill any vacancies that may occur on the county ticket. After the nominating was finished the candidates were called before the convention and made short talks, thanking the convention and pledging their effort to bring success to the party. Rev. Chas. W.
