REPUBLICAN COUNTY CONVENTION.

The Livest Convention I'm theLocal History
OF the Party. Wier, oilham and Lewis
the Candidates.
The cloud that has been lowering over
the Republican camp for the past few
weeks or more developed beautifully in the
fight for delegates to the county conven-
tlon on Saturday, and It burst magnifcent-
ly at the nominating convention on Mon
day when the Lilly-Stroh- h-Leisenring-Davis
men got control of the convention as
against the Mulhearn-Mumford forces. To
the observer the contest presented an
amusing and interesting aspect. 1t was a
fight principally for prestige, and the old
bosses won easily, especially in the election
of Davis as a State Delegate. 1t was q set
back for Mulhearn, who In kicking against
him what he is, has put himself in the
soup. The result is a natural sequence of
big head; for Mulhearn, since his election
to the Legislature and association with
State leaders OF the party, he has come to
look upon himself as the Lord High Mogul
of his party in Carbon county. and urged
on in this by such men as Bertolette and a
few other lesser lights he set up shop
for himself only TO meet with dis
astreus results at the first effort to show
the authority which, by the way, he didn't
have. 1t is only natural that Mulhearn
should have developed such an opinion Of
ha nf IL IN
were thrust upon him; he was made coun-
ty chairman, he doled out federal patron
age and outwardly run the machinery as if
directed by his own hand. Tbs gave him
certain amount of strength, besides being
fluent talker and having led several sue
cessful campaigns he became little hero
and was looked upon as the party leader.
But up to this time he only followed the
role dictated by the bigger men who furn-
ish the Doodle and run the concern practi-
cally as the result of the convention on
Monday conclusiyely prove. The fillibus-
tering on the opening of the convention
when it was called to order BY Chairman
Mulhearn, was the beginning of the racket
which ended with Mulhearn and twenty
three delegates leaving the convention on
.he Summit Hill delegates being refused a
voice in the work of the meeting. They
protested against the decision of the com.
mittee on credentials and together with the
eighteen delegates under Mulhearn's cop-
troll set up convention of their own in
the Grand Jury Room, where they nomiii-
ated and elected Theodore T. Mumford as
delegate to the next Republican State Con-
yention against George Davis who was
nominated by the majority convention to
the same office. The action Of the minor
ity members was fully expected; it was
threatened in the morning, but few be-
lieved that there was spirit enough to carry
it out. The Mulhearn forces made q strong
fight; it extended to every district in the
county and the leaders have never had a
more determined contest to conquer. II
was spirited and showed good generalshiI
all around, but lacked in the requisite
power to be effective.
