Monongalia and Taylor Kissed, cat
called and yelled at DIR. Powell and
would not let him proceed. The
Doctor stood his ground, and when
quiet was restored he took his seat.
lie attempted to speak again as the
maDgled remains of his friend was
being laid away in the Ice Wagon
but the Morley men would listen
to no funeral Grafton over the dead
body of his friend. Preston voted
10 for Lanham and IL for Morley.
Taylor followed with the necessary
votes to bury Lanham out of sight.
The Chair ANNOUNCED VIM. G..
Morley as the nominee of the Con-
vention, and appointed committee
OF three to wait on Senator Worley
and notify him Of his nomination.
At this juncture the Lanham men
left the Convention i'm a BODY.
The subsequent events interested
them no more. The Committee
returned with Senator WorIey, and
the Chair introduced Senator
Worley to the Convention. The
Senator returned his thanks to tho
Convention for the honor they had
conferred upon him. He received
quite an ovation from Taylor and

CONVENTION CHIPS.
1t was htwling success from the
Worleyland.
They turned DIR. Lanham's pic
ture to the wall.
Hon. w. III. Glover took the pre-
caution to seek shelter before the
rainfall.
When Ed. Herman moved to
mako Worley's nomination unani-
nous, Julius Scheer emphatically
objected.
/
The Preston delegation could talk
all around the Taylor and Monon-
gala delegation, but the latter could
out-vote them.
DR.. M. II. Powell made the best
speech of the convention. But
Taylor and Monongalia was not in a
humor to listen to the genial Doc
tor, and they howled him down.
w. w. Shoeh stood yaliantly by
Senator Worley and tsld the con.
vention what can excellent bust
ness man " the Senator was. This
touched tender cord in the heart
of the Taylor men who have ga
business man" running for Gov
ernor.
Senator Morley apologized to the
convention for being born in the
State of Pennsylvania, but promised
them the like would not occur
again.
The Taylor and Monongalia men
had no use for DR.. Lanham and
his friends, whom they character.
izei as bolters," CHECKERS " and
" disorganIzers." Wonder who told
them so much? This will be news
to the Preston Republicans.
Uncle Jim Myers, the veteran
drummer boy, was CONSPICUOUS
figure in the convention, and while
not delegate he worked heroically
for the nomination of Senator Wor-
ley. lie declared Lanham was can
enemy Of the old soldier" and
Morley was his "true friend. -
Uncle Jim congratulates himself
that he contributed his mite i'm de .
feating Lanham.
One of the chief reasons which
prompted the Taylor and Monon-
gala men to support Morley was
the Senator's declaration that he
would make an extra effort to Sc
cure appropriations for the Reform
School and State University. He
did not say he would burst his sus-
pender buttons to secure something
for old Preston.
