THE WHOLE HOG OF NONE
When the report was read Mr.. Griffith
moved that the report be not adopted. He
want on to say that q body of proper
Democratic voters met at the proper place
ct the proper time, but found the place q
blacksmith shop. closed, and unfit for
holding the convention. Then those as
sembled moved to go to the Bellevue hotel,
within one block Of the place designated.
There the primary was held in regular
order. A regular ticket was there eleted.
These men were either right or wrong
The delegation chosen at the Bellevue
should either have seven votes or none at
all. Mr.. Griffith said some of the men
who knew the voting was going on at the
Bellevue went of to the first place, at the
blacksmith shop, and held an election.
Mr.. McElroy said that several VINO voted
at the blacksmith shop did not know of
the Bellevue primary, and several at the
latter did not know of the blacksmith shop
caucus. The committee had accordingly
voted six to one to give each Of the faces
not in both delegations half q vote.
Mr.. Mayer said the FIRST primary was
organized in a proper manner ct the Belize
vue. after finding the shop closed at Z
O'Clock. Those who later opened the
blacksmith shop knew balloting was regu.
larry going on at the Bellevue.
Mr.. Hill waxed warm over the matter,
saying he was content with the committee
report. Neither side had held the primary
In accordance with the call. The men at
the Bellevue were not in the right place;
the men at the shop were late. The shop
was not so terribly uncomfortable as had
been described. The men had no authority
TO change the place to . saloon in the
Bellevue. A saloon was not proper place
for Democratic primary. The men who
went to the saloon did not represent the
Democrats, for they were few. The men
who adjourned to tho saloon had not even
organized. Mr.. Hill had been in the shop
crowd and had found plenty of light and
plenty of Democracy. Mr.. Hill then told
how the primaries were held in his own
parlors several years ago. His was the
banner precinct, having given Collins .
majority. He and his friends had worked
and saved the precinct
The delegates had tried to quiet Mr.. Hill
by calling for the question; but he vigor-
ously shook his fist and declared he would
not atop till he got through. His friends of
the blacksmith shop brought tally list Of
votes and no bogus certificate. Disfran-
chising honest men would do more to dis
