The republican judicial convention for the Washtenaw and Monroe district renominated Judge Kinne at Dundee Wednesday. The convention was an enthusiastic one, for one which had so little work cut out for it and nothing marred the unanimity of the occasion.

The convention was called to order in the Pocklington hotel, in Dundee, by John F. Lawrence, chairman of the judicial committee. Elihu H. Wadsworth, of Petersburg, was elected chairman of the meeting and O. E. Butterfield, of Ann Arbor, secretary. The committee on credentials consisting of C. G. Morris and John F. Lawrence reported the delegations full. After completing the organization, Hon. A. J. Sawyer presented the name of judge E. D. Kinne for the judicial nomination in a 15 minutes speech in which he pointed out the excellencies of the judge 's character and work upon the bench. Upon motion of John F. Lawrence the rules were suspended and the nomination .was made by acclammation. O. E. Butterfield, of Ann Arbor, and John W. Billmire, of Monroe, were appointed a committee to wait upon Judge Kinne. Judge Kinne appeared and in a short speech thanked the convention for the honor they had conferred upon him.

The judicial committee was then appointed consisting of W. W. Wedemeyer, O. E. Butterfield, F. A. Stivers, of Washtenaw, C. G. Morris and J. W. Billmire, of Monroe. Thereupon the convention adjourned.
