THE FIRST WAR;.
The First ward meeting was held in the
American resort. At 6rst it appeared
that the attendance would be very small.
The audience gradually enlarged. howev.
er, until it became quite respectable in
numbers and fairly representative In
membership. A gOodly number OF well.
known prohibisionists were present and
also several prominent representatives OF
the labor element.
The presence in the hall OF numerous
persons having printed tickets caused some
suspicion there might be some packing In
the interest Of some particular candidate
or faction, and it was apparent that IT any
such scheme was on foot there were those
present who stood ready to fight against It.
The fact of the matter was, no one seemed
to know what was being aimed at. There
we're some three printed tickets floating
about the ball and the names printed on
them we're apparently all good men.
Committeeman Wilcox called the meet
ing to order Some one proposed Judge
Bettis for chairman, but he arose and de.
clined the proposed honor. Judge A. Z.
Cnrry was then called to the chair and Il.
j. Cook was chosen secretary. MIR. Will
cox moved that the committee proceed to
ballot for fourteen delegate to the district
convention. Mr.. Taylor arose and ex.
pressed the belief that it would be more
satisfactory to ignore the printed tickets
that had been prepared and brought to the
hall, and vote upon each candidate viva
voice. Judge Belts, s. G. Hyde and
others favored the proposition of Mr. Tay-
lor. Mr. Wilcox said he had no
preference whatever. The proposition to
vote by ballot was renewed and voted
down. The convention then adopted the
proposition to vote as proposed by Mr..
Taylor. s. c. Hyde arose and stated that
as his name was on one OF the printed
tickets. and without any previous knowl-
edge on his part. and as the name of w.
II. Taylor was not on the printed tickets,
he desired TO show his good faith by nom-
mating Mr.. Taylor for one of the dele
gates MIR. Taylor was unanimously elect
ed. Prompt to return the compliment,
Mr.. Taylor arose and nominated Mr..
Hyde, who was also elected unanimously.
From that me on the different factions
in attendance, if any were there, WED with
each other in exchanging compliments,
judging from the fact that men whose
names were on the tickets and men whose
names were not on were alternately
chosen.

When the fourteen delegates had been
elected s. Z. Hyde arose and fac etiousy
said that since he had been chosen as a
delegate he would like to enquire what
they wanted him TO do when he got in the
convention. There we're calls for Judge
Bettis to answer the question. This the
Judge did in few we'll chosen remarks
closing with the suggestion that he was to
battle against the triumph of cranks and
insist on sending men who would not in.
sist on putting prohibition in the body of
the constitution. These remarks were
heartily applauded and Mr.. Hyde arose
and said, in substance. that he believed In
giving the people chance to vote on
these questions separately from the consti.
tuition.
