Before adjourning delegates of
the different districts made nomi
nations for justices of the peace and
constables as follows:
Falls City, Bridgeport, Luckia-
mute and Rock Creek A. J. Syron
Salem, April 13 Binger Her
mann was re-nominated for con
gress by the republican convention
here today. No other name was
presented. L. T. Harris of Lane
was here with his friends te con
test for honors with Hermann, but
last night it became evident that it
would be futile to carry the fight
into the convention. Harris was
short of votes.
When A. C. Masters of Douglas
placed in nomination, the Hon.
Binger Hermann, A. C. Woodcock
of Eugene, law partner of Mr.
Harris moved that the secretary
be instructed to cast the vote of
the convention for Mr. Hermann.
In seconding Mr. Woodcock's mo
tion, E. Hofer said that last year
when Marion county went into the
convention with a candidate it's
delegates bowed to the wishes of
Lane county and took Mr. Her
mann; now Lane was asked by
Marion to take him again. ,
Mr. Harris assured the conven
tion Lane couity will stand by its
nominee.
For delegates to tin republican
national convention, Dr. J. M.
Keene of Medford and J. V. Camp
bell of Oregon City were chosen.
Walter Tooze of Woodbarn was
made chairman of the congressional
committee for the ensuing two
years.
Geo. C. Brownell acted as chair
man of the convention. Some of
Harris' friends feel that he should
have made a fight against Brownell
for the chairmanship, but it was
the judgment of bis managers that
he should not show his hand in op
posing the Hermann organization.

There was some criticism of
Chairman Brownell's manner ot
conducting the proceedings "accord
ing to program" and Cliff McArthur
of Rickreall aroused applause by
moving that the nominations and
committee reports be made "ac

asked permission to offer a motion
