VIM. 81. Green Leads Schwarzschild's
Fight On the Floor.
ssVanity of vanities! all is vanityr' ex-
claimed Solomon Schwarzschild last
night after the Democratic delegate con-
vention had shattered his last hope of
representing Portland at Augusta this
winter. The Woodworking prophet of
the young Democracy of Portland had
good reason for disgust. 1t is true that
a body of old guard stalwarts, led by
Col. w. FL. Green-he who fought at the
head of the Cape Elizabeth column in
the recent county convention-stood by
Schwarzschild; but where were those
old comrades in arms, the blue-ballot
regulars of SWEET, whom the gallant
Swarzschild helped lead to victory on
the memorable and glorious night when
the legions of Tolman were routed in
Ward 8? In vain did Schwarzschild
look for the aid their chief is said to
have promised him. He realized too late
that all his toll in the cause had been in
vain.
Chairman Farnsworth had gathered
the reins into his own hands and pro-
posed to drive the convention over
Schwarzschildsl PROSTATE form. Upon
the whole he did the job well; but funny
things happened while he was doing it.
When the hour arrived and the dele
gates were assembled in Reception Hall,
Chairman Farnsworth called the conven-
ton to order and introduced
Mr.. Joseph A. MCGOWAN
as chairman. Mr.. Samuel Rosenberg
was nominated for secretary, and elect
ed by vote of II to 2. Solomon Shine
and one other were the dissidents.
The call of the roll revealed that 10
delegates were not present So it was
voted that the ward delegations fill the
vacancies in their ranks. Thus Colonel
A. W. Bradbury, Virgil c. Wilson, F. R.
Fay, Robert F. Somers, Michael WEIGH,
Daniel ]. Carr, E. w. Hunt, James j.
Whaley, Charles Mccarthy, Jr., and
John A. MCGOWAN were introduced.
General John ]. Lynch moved that
committee of one from each ward be
appointed by the chair to re-
tire and select legislative
ticket. He gravely announced that
s'time could be saved thereby"
But William Fl. Green did not under
stand why time was so valuable to the
Democracy. This committee as I'M
derstand it," he said, lis to retire to Sc
lect list of candidates to the Legislar
ture. 1 agree with General Lynch that
we should expedite matters, but don't let
us have this thing
All Cut and Dried"
[Applause.] But Chairman MCGOWAN
went right ahead and appointed this
committee:
Ward flames E. Butler.
Ward 2-Daniel Gallagher.
Ward ga. L. Farnsworth.
Ward Nv. II. Mcdonald.
Ward 5-W. H. Moulton.
Ward 6-J. j. Lynch. =
Ward IN. P. Frank.
The committee retired to the ante
room where Chairman Farnsworth pro-
duced little slip of paper which didn't
have on it the name of that brilliant
young worker Solomon Schwarzschild.
But the friends of the Malachi of the
county convention were not idle. While
the committee of seven were waiting for
decent time to elapse before coming
out with their cut and dried list, a good
looking young man was passing around
among the delegates neat little ticket:
