GILIME IB
HOLD MEETING
Seward, Nov. 29—That the re
republican territorial convention wil
be held here in Seward in March
is apparently regarded as a set
tled fact by W. A. Gilmore, -who ran
as the republican candidate for
congress in the lact election but I
one. In a letter to a member of
the Gateway staff, 'which was re
received in the last mall, Mr. Gil
more states positively that he will
be in Seward in that month as a dele
gate and the only deduction pos
sible is that he knows by communi
cation with other leading re
publicans that this town has been
chosen as the convention city al
ready. ■ j*-' ■
