Tre Republicans bad a lively time
at their county convention on Tues
day. The two wings of the party had
the war paint on. The lines were
drawn on the congressional conferees,
which required several ballots, and the
decisive vote stood 58 to 64—the Reed-
er wing being the winners. Arnold
will likely get the other counties of the
district and be the nominee. Reeder
should have had a unanimous vote.
