A meeting of the republican county cen

the court house, when a large attendance
of memliers put in an appearance.
The committee decided that the repre

in 1898, which will entitle KI delegates
to participate in the convention, giving

It was divided to hold the primaries on
Saturday, March 24, at one o’clock, but
if any of the committeeman thought it
would be more convenient to hold the
primaries in their precincts on some other
day they were at liberty to do so.
The county convention is called for
Saturday. March 31st, at 11 o’clock in
this city.
The county committee, in view of the
new road supervisor law, decided that
each voting precinct, at the primary,
nominate a ¡»eraon for road supervisor.
It was also decided that each voting
precinct, at the primary, elect one person
to serve on the county central committee.
A question was raised as to who were
entitled to participate and vote at pri
maries, and it was the sense of the meet
ing those who intended to support the
republican party and vote that ticket.
If people of a different p jlitical complex
ion attempted to take part they should
be challenged.
