B. M's. Will Nominate County Tick et Tomorrow.

The Progressive Party of Jasper county, who have had under consideration for some time the matter of putting a county ticket into the field, reached a decision a few days ago and will hold a convention here tomorrow for that purpose. Lead-’ ers of the party have urged that a county ticket be put out all over the state, arguing that only by so doing could the party preserve its organization and prestige. It was also rightly urged that they could not consistently ask the democrats to vote with them the district, state, and national tickets and leave the old reactionaries of the republican party to run local political affairs to suit themselves.

In deciding to put out a ticket in Jasper county the Progressives are but following the example of their party in neighboring counties and they will greatly strengthen their district and state and national tickets.
