FOUR AND A HALF PRECINCT.
The caucus was held at Union Hall, which
was fairly jammed with voters. At o clock
Committeeman a H. Starr called the meeting to
order and stated that nominations for Chairman
were in order. Various names we've proposed,
aid 1t was seen at glance that the meeting
was going to be turbulent one. There were
factions and factions, but finally the meeting
| settled on Lincoln White and George Murray as
nominations for Chairman. The feeling ran
high as to the method by which the selection
was to be made. 1t was finally decided that a
committee OF four be aupoipted to keep tally,
and each voter passed out OF the hall giving his
! preference for Chairman as he passed out ] he

/ O. Funston were elected Secretaries A motion
| was then made that the Chairman select COM
mittee of five to choose twenty delegates to be
voted for at the primary ON Saturday. A sub
| stituie was offered by Frank Ryan that the eau
Gus select the names without the intervention

discussions from dozen different parties, and
While it was at its hight Charlt L. Jones moved
! that no delegates be selected at the meeting
but that the voters of the precinct go to the
| polls Saturday and vote for any twenty names
| they might choose. This motion was seconded
| by Elwood Bruner in an able speech, and he
stated that if the motion carried it would be
| the fairest primary ever held in the city.

deayoring 10 be recognized by the Chair and
| pandemonium reigned for time, and in TACT
throughout the evening 1t was the mos tur

succession. the chairman meanwhile whscking
| the table and shouting himself hoarse to pre-
serve order. Men jumped on the benches, win
| dow sills, desks, and crowded about the Chair
shouting wildly, and if their wives could see
them they would have come to the conclusion
that their husbands had lost their senses When
the meeting commenced there seemed to be a
disposition on the part of all to 90 the fair thing,
but subsequent events did not justify this COLI
ciusion.
Just before the vote was put TO have all select
their names Saturday at the primaries the
mover. {. + Jones, argued against his own mo-
ton, and this brought on another wild scene.
The motion was finally put and certainly car
ried, but was not decided so by the Chairman.
"bonnybrook fair reigned again, and alter
some semblance of quiet, Chairman White put
the question again, giving as reason that the
vote was not understood. On the final test there
was storm OF ayes followed by another of
noes, and it was not in the power of human
being to decide which was the loudest-the
ayes or noes, but the Chair decided it lost. An
| other "scene" followed this decision.
motion was then made that committee of
five be appointed to select twenty names to be
voted for at the primaries. 1t was equally i'm
possible 10 decide if this was carried but the
Chair again was equal to the occasion, and de-
cided il carried.
The committee was appointed. as fol ows
Frank Johnson, George Register, Warren Drew,
H. w. Riyett I. j. Pennsh. These gentlemen
retired amid the hub-bub and the shaking Of
fists in the faces of the contending factions.
When the committee returned the following
names we've reported as the regular delegates
NJ. NJ. Drew, John SteN eus, c. 4. Luhrs, r Her

Il. A. Bel, D. NJ. Cox, H. w, Rlvett.
The meeting then adjourned. but great
! many had left before the committee reported,
and, from the feeling, it is more than likely that
there viii be contest in this precinct.
