PORTLAND, Jan. zO.-Wu ueH thc
convention re-assembled at 2 p. M.
yesterday, general air prevaded
the hall that boded Ill to President
Aver.
The first gun OF the opposition
was fired when the committee oD
resolutions reported. Their report
was to the effect that the present
constitution of Young Mems State
Republican league was inefficient,
and they recommended the revision
Dr adoption Of a new one which
would give local clubs power to man
age their affairs as the peculiarities
of their section required. The
bursting of this shell caused con.
sternation in the Aver ranks, az
they perceived that the formation OF
new constitution would take the
scepter from their hands. The
reading of the report evoked two OF
three motions in quick succession,
aud numerous SPEAKERS endeavored
to gain recognition during the
hubbub.
When the confusion was ut IT'S
height, the committee on credentials
was announced. They were then
allowed to read supplemental re-
port. They reported that the first
ward was entitled to be represented
by T. Il. Harris, vice president OF
first ward club. This Immediately
brought w. II. Hume, who held a
proxy from that ward to his feet.
He claimed that Harris had no au-
thority to represent the first ward
club, which had elected four dele
gates TO the convention, all Of which
he could substantiate by referring
the committee on credentials to the
min utee Of the clubs last meeting.
He moved TO again recommit the re-
port to the committee on credentials.
AT this critical juncture It was
moved aud carried that all four OF
the delegates from the first ward be
admitted. The opposition then
strengthened their position by ad-
mitting eleven delegates fr,m the
sixth ward and eight from Garfield
club. Elated with their success the
opposition then turned its attention
to the resolution which was pending
when the committee ON credentials
entered to make supplemental re-
port. After much confusion, the
resolution was put TO a vote. Ayers
supporters, with the desperation OF
drowning men, called fora aye and
nay vote. When the calling of the
roll was completed, the vote stood,
for the resolution 1913, against thirty
The house of Aver had fallen, and
its reign was over. The motion was
made unanimous, and at the close o
the stamping of feet and clappinl
of hands that followed some unfeel
ing delegate asked the chair II h,
understood him TO say that he haC
resigned. The president retortec
that he never resigned or turneC
back.
The next action of the convention
was to elect seven delegates, on'
from each judicial district, to pre-
pare new constitution In accord
ance with the resolution just passed
