Mr. S. C. Lummis of Custer was chosen as one of the alternates to the National Republican convention at Philadelphia.
This was one of the largest and most enthusiastic conventions ever held in this state and a better choice for a ticket could not have been made. The republicans of this state can point with pride to the ticket from start to finish, as there is not a man on there, about which aught can be said against his record. It is a ticket that will come out this fall with a greater victory than has ever been made in this state.
