one OF the others they say in. which
there is not a straight Day delegation
to appear, contest will be sprung.
Judge Bangs. glad to escape the reSpOn-
sibility, viii declare that these delega-
tiOnS. TOO. must stand aside until the
committee on credentials can pass upon
them. None but Day delegates would
then he left. The candidate for
temporary chairman would be elected.
and he would appoint the committee
on credentials, which would admit
clear majority OF Day supporters. This
the Church men declare universally to
be the Day plan. The fact that Bangs
occupied a position. as LAWYER says,
like the Cesar. where he can Go as he
pleases. and the further fact that he
pleaseS (the Day men claim to do as
they please. OF cOurSe) gives the anti
Church faction tremendous advantage
at the outset. and they are
LEAVING NOTHING UNDONE
to take advantage OF it. All afternoon the
Church men were in consultation as to
the best way to check this scheme and
al 1.-THE late caucus. the sentiment crystalli-
zed into three distinct conclusions. one
OF which will be put into effect tO-mOl-
row as circumstances seem to best
dictate. The one most favored
in the caucus. is to meet
every paper contest with a similar
paper contest until no regular
delegates remain to vote upon the tenn
p0rary chairman. Then the choice of
this important Office will be thrown
back upon the territorial committee.
which. being composed chiefly Of Church
men, will choose a man not TO the Day
liking. who will choose a committee on
credentials which will be sure to give
oil
to be entitled to. Another plan is
similar way by diveSting Bangs of
power. which is to be broken only by
the selection of the delegates being left
to the committee. In either of these
two events it is argued if the Day fac
ton do not like the proceedings. they
will bolt the convention and disagree
ing with the regular order of things
will be upon them. The third plan is
to submit TO
THE ARBITRARY RULING OUT
of regular delegations by the chairman
apparently. but then if the committee
on credentials does not do the fair thing
to send up a mighty voice of indignant
protest and seat chairman by sheer
numerical strength. This plan is only
advocated by the more radical, but it
finds plenty Of supporters from deter
mined men, who say that an attempt is
being made TO cheat them out of
their rights. and that they will
not submit to it. 1t is this element
which lends a-lurid tint to the horizon.
and the determined action appears to be
contagious. 1t is not impossible that an
active physical conflict will occur. for
the storm will begin the moment the
name OF the temporary chairman is pre-
scented to the convention, and as each
faction declares it will never leave the
hall. it is unlikely that two separate
| conventions will be held. 1t is
| quite possible, however. that two sets
! of delegates may be chosen in the same
! convention hall at the same time. Since
| Day declares that he is absolutely sure
/ of controlling the temporary organiZa-
ton, he will. nevertheless, if necessary.
| send contesting delegation to St.Louis.
Naturally there are two sides to every
! question. In an interview with the
GLOBE representative Day said that he
was waging a fight, not on personal
grounds. but against the principle oil
carpetbagiSm and corrupt gubernato
rial administration repeating.
THE VARIOUS CHARGES

he said he wanted nothing whatever
There was no Office whatever with
which he could be tempted. Was il
not strange, he asked. that while he
could offer the Democrats of the terri
tory nothing whatever beyond the vim

interference in Dakota affairs
yet a majority of the voter:
rallied to his support. Was it no
strange unless the sentiment against
carpet-bagism and Church's admins
tration was widespread among indie
pendent Dakotans that such a number
should gather together to resent the
dictation of an imported governor in {
