Failed to Agree
Democrats and Populists Will Each Put
a County Ticket in the Field—Efforts
to Reach Agreement Fail
Pursuant to call of the respective |
chairmen, the populist and democratic
county central committees met in this
city for the purpose of trying to ar-
range preliminaries for holding a
fusion county primary, but the pur-
pose failed and each party will put a
ticket in the field.
The populist committee met in the >
offices of K B. Shotwell and T. J.
Greenwell, adjoining rooms. The I
chairman being absent because of I
sickness, the meeting "'as called to
order by H. E. Straughen, secretary,
and S. W. Provolt was elrcted chair-
man.
The following committeemen were
present:
H E Straughen, secretary.
P P Harmon, Pawnee township.
llobert Pool, Osage.
J W Kilts, Cimarron.
Paul Carpenter, Iowa.
W H Seymour, Union.
1 M Mitchell, N Seminole
W H Hicks. South Keokuk.

B P Ambler, N Choctaw.
J M Reagin, N 'Creek
N W Niblack, S Choctaw.

A conference committee of five was
appointed as follows to confer with a
like committee from the democratic
committee: B. F. Ambler, J. M. Bra-
gin, Robert Pool, F. P. Harmon, N.
W. Niblack. This committee was in-
structed to arrange with the demo-
crats preliminaries for holding pri-
mary to nominate a fusion ticket upon
the following basis: Division of
offices as th-y stand: naming of the
ticket and holding of primary to be
deferred until after the Oth of July,
but in case that the democratic com-
mittee insisted upon holding the pri-
mary at an earlier date the populists
would agree to let them fix the date,
the primary to be called as a demo-
cratic-populist primary and a declara-
tion of principles be adopted which
should be the platform of the allied
parties in this county regardless of
the action taken by the democratic na-
tional convention.
The conference committee was fur-
ther instructed to agree with the dem-
ocratic conference committee that in
case the democratic-populist primary
was held prior to July ti the populists
would after that date let the members
of their party decide by vote whether
or not fe party would drop “popu-
list” from the hyphenated name and
make ihe campaign under the straight
democratic name. The conference
committees retired to another room but
soon returned to report that the
democratic committee was instructed
to demaud that the county primary,
whenever called to meet, must be
called as a democratic primary.
Soon after this report was present-
ed, an intimation was received
fore affiliated with them would be wel-
comed and permitted to seek office
without restriction.
The chairman was instructed to ap-
point a primary election committee of
five. J. B. A. Uoeertson has been
named as chairman of this committee;
the other members have not been
named.
