mistake had been made, and he gave the
''sweet singer look.
The sweet singer caught the idea, and he
moved that all persons present, not members
of the committee or candidates, be requested
to retire. ~
Chairman Blakeley promptly put the ques-
ton.
It was as promptly carried by unanimous
aye. and the GLOBE picked himself up and
walked out the door, his exit producing the
second approach to undue enthusiasm evil
denced during the meeting.
THE SECRET SESSION.
As the GLOBE reporter left the room he es-
tablished microphone connection, and he is
therefore able to give the conclusion of the
proceedings. The room cleared, Mr.. Thorn ton
again took the floor and renewed his advocacy
of the urgency of a sop to the Jacobson disaf-
fected, commencing where he left off in detail
ency that Capt. jacobson had been defra uded
out of the nomination by a wrong an
nouncement of the vote. when Chair
man Blakeley interrupted him by the
remark that the matter complained of was q
proper subject for the executive committee,
and suggesting that such committee be made.
The suggestion was eagerly seized upon by the
other members of the committee, and on diff
ferent motions, Chairman Blakeley, Clerk
Johnson and Bub Williams were selected as
such committee.
A brief informal discussion then followed as
to the canvass, resulting in unanimous ex-
preston of opinion that nothing but avigor-
GUS campaign would save the party from de-
feat, and that the candidates must tap their
bar'ls literally to that end.
When this point was reached Charley Gilman,
who had been very quiet up to this time, took
the floor and remarked that before going
too far. it would be we'll enough to
have understanding on another point, and
that was whether the candidates aud their
special organs were going to work for the whole
ticket, or whether it was to be each man for
himself and the devil take the hindmost. 1t
was rot necessary for him to tell the commit
tee that certain so-called Republicans, some of
them very close to the person of the candidate
for Governor and certain papers, very enthusi-
astic in support of the Governors candidacy,
was denouncing his (Gilman's) nomination as
one unfit to be made. Personally he did not
care fig for these assaults. He had beaten
the whole gang in the convention, and he could
beat them before the people,. All he wanted
to know was whether it was to be cut
throat fight. Il j6 was he was ready for the
fray. or if the candidates would work together
for the whole ticket, he was ready to join in.
Mr.. Start, candidate for attorney general,
mildly remarked that he did not want to be
ground up by the quarrel of the friends for the
two leading places on the ticket. Harmony
must be restored or the whole. ticket will be
defeated. The Republicans in the southern
part of the State were not any too we'll satisfied
with the ticket anyway.
Mr.. Kittleson remarked ditto. Six years ago,
he said, tho party had nominated a country
man of his from the same town
for treasurer and then defeated him, and
it began to look as if the same
fate awaited him through the dissensions in the
party. He wanted to know, with Mr.. Gilman,
if the fight commenced in the convention was
to be continued. If it was, he would try and
look out for No. 1.
All eyes were then turned upon the would
be third termer. who, slowly rising to his feet
began to speak in hesitating manner declar-
ing he was for the whole ticket and that he
was not responsible for his wicked pardner.
He really wished they would be good, but, in
deed, he could not control them.
Dir. Gilman-You had better.
Pillsbury-Well, I will if can.
Gilman-You had better. I have stood all
the fooling intend to.
By this time it was getting red hot, and as
the organization had been perfected, it was
moved and carried that the committee adjourn,
and thus ended the pow WOW. Chairman
Blakeley, Treasurer Biakeley and executive
committee Blakeley will now proceed to ar
range the details of the campaign, and if the
bar Is are opened literally, there will be speech
making and all that. If not, not.
