Batty, com mitteeman; Harry A. Bradley, road- overseer. The convention was then adjourned and the new central committee met to arrange for the coming contest. The convention, considering the situ ation, made the very best nominations that could have keen made. It waa the opinion of the majority that the old Re publican rule and principle should not be deviated from that when an officer serves one term and proves able and faithful he should, if he desires, be giv en a second nomination. For this reason no contest was had on any of the nominations for county office but one. Mr. Martin of Silver Lake was the choice of the convention for County Commissioner because he had served only part of a term as appointee, had made one of the best commissioners Lake county ever had, and it was thought by the majority that he de served a nomination. Mr. William Mc Corinack of Paisley, one of the old time Republicans, was nominated for Com iiiissioner in I'uucue and hta frieuds took his defeat philosophically and in ex cellent gra-e. C. W. Ient, one of the beat men and true; Republicans in Lake county was also named, and though he lailed to secure th. noinina lion, Th. Examiner is sure he is too good a Republican to care about it. Two years hence Warner Valley will not only be entitled to representation, but will certainly be asked to nam. a man on the Republican county ticket. A a whole, the Republican Conven tion of Lake county for 1902, wa a harmonious body, and Th. Examiner iaassuied it can say without fear of con tradiction that on election day every Republican in the county will be found working and voting for the enccess of the Republican party. The Republi can are clearly in tLe majority by at least aeventy-flve to one hundred, and there is no reaaon why every nominee on the ticket should net be elected this year. TONGUE'S RUBSEK STAMP. Mr. Tongue's colleagues and per sonal friends in Washington are having a good deal of fun at that gentleman's expense over the incident narrated be low wheh ia claimed to be true: A few days ago when Governor Taft, of the Philippines, waa appearing be fore one of the House committees, Mr. Tongue heard of his presence in the committee, and said to a colleague, "I should like to meet the Governor," Representative Mercer, who was an old acquaintance, took Mr. Tongue out and presented him, saying, "Governor, this is Representative Tongue, of Oregon." "Oh, yes," responded the Governor, cheerfully. "Your name ia farmiliar to me. I remember getting a letter from you once signed with a rubber stamp." Mr. Tongue seldom signs his letters, but, instead, a facsmile of his signature is generally attached with a rubber stamp. SOCIALIST STATE TICKET. The Socialists of Oregon held their convention in Portland on March 19th, and nominated the following ticket For governor R. R. Ryan of Marion County. Secretary of state C. W. Barxee of Wasco County, State treasurer W. W. Myers of Clackamas County. Justice of the supreme court C. P. Rutherford of Harney County. Superintendent of public instruction, attorney general and state printer to be filled by the state central committee. Congressman, second district D. T. Gerdes of Clatsop County. Among a number of persons tendered the nomination for governor, who de clined to run, waa S. 8 Snellof Medford. The platform adopted ia short but em braces several declarations well cal culated to draw public support at this time. Tongue Will Appoint Cadets. A dispatch from Washington says that Representative Tongue will this year be called upon to appoint cadets to both the Naval and Military Academy. He is making arrangements to have all candidates for appointment examined at Salem on or about June 1. Mr. Tongue announces that he will make his selections on the basis of the aver ages made by the candidates in this competitive examination, which will probably be conducted by some of the well-known citizens of Salem. His defi nite plans will be announced later. Meanwhile, those who desire particular information as to qualifications and re quirements, can secure a full statement by w riting to Mr. Tongue. It is understood that Lake county will have a candidate for cadetship in the person of Jf mes Maxwell, youngest son of J. W. Maxwell. WOODMEN CAKRY OUT THEIR PROMISES The Ball aod 5upper Last Friday Evening Waa a Complete 5uc ceaa la Every Particular. The much talked of ball by the Wood men of the World of Lakeview was held last Friday night and proved to k everything promised of it the swellect social affair of the season, and a grand success in every particular. Over seventy-five couples were in the grand march. A large number of Women ol Woodcraft and Woodmen wearing the badge of Circle and Camp were in tha march and a Woodman also carried the beautiful Camp banner which waa ad mired by alt present. Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Sherlock led the march and at it c- nclusion those who wanted to dance formed in quadrilles, and then the joy began.- Two round dancee and a square dance was the order of the evening, and those who did not indulge in th. maxy whirl of the waits or schottische bad ample op portunity to dance to their hearts' con tent in the quadrille. It was a grand, night. Just sufficient snow fell in the early evening to make perambulating good and keep the shoes and cancins; floor free from mod and grit. The Opera House Was beautifully dee orated with evergreen trees and sprigs, and flags and bunting, and many were the favorable comment, on the ap pearance of the dancing place. The music by Solace Circle Orchestra, con sisting of piano, violin, bass viol and cornet in the hands of Mrs. Bert rand Blair, L. D. Robinson, George Reid and A. Y. Bea:b was the best heard ia Lakeview for many a long day, and waa one of the features that made the ball a success. Many handsome costumes were worai by the ladies, and it was remarked by seveial that more pretty dresses were worn that nigbt than usual at social af fairs in Lakeview. And not only were pretty dresses much in evidence, bat pretty young women were there in num bers. It was really a very swell af fair. The banquet room at Masonic ball was very neatly decorated and the tables were greatly admired for their beautiful decorations and tastily placed viands. Over the center table waa a rope twined in Circle colors, red, white and green, from which was suspended a white dove, an emblem of the order, and encircling the dove's neck waa a placard, printed in gilt letters the mot to : "She Flies With Her Own Wings." As usual with Woodcraft spreads the supper was pronounced a grand feast. which waa greatly enjoyed by all pres ent. The committees on supper and decoration are certainly to be compli mented for their work. The Women of Woodcraft and wives of Woodmen who dnnatad thtk ftnniwr mav wall foul nr.., g I ' J " " w. fr.ww. m of their efforts to please. The dance continued until 4 a. m. and the gene ral verdict is that the Wood man Hall was a complete Buccea. Fifty-six tickets were sold. On page seven of this issue will be found an article headed "D. of H. En tertainmentA. 0. U. W." In the in troduction the types made us say : "The W. O. W. and Degre of Honor of Lake view bad a glorious time last Thursday evening." It will be readily seen that this ia an error. Instead of "W. O. W." it should read A. O. U. W. The Exam iner anticipates no serious cousequencee as a result of the error, as both orders are among the best in the world.
