County Republican Convention Set For September
At a county central committee meeting in the courthouse this afternoon the date September 1 was chosen for the Republican County convention and the city for its location.

Many Republicans voted for Mr. Gunn, driving the vote below the average. A full report will be published tomorrow after remaining committee work is finished.
