ticians was kept up with its old vigor,
showing that the hope for contes ted offices
is still strong with the weaker faction.

exciting with struggles for supremacy
marking the fratricidal strife in Democratic
ranks. although the machine worked
without a hitch in most places, where
proceedings were according to programme.

than this could be presented. Tickets,
notably those of the majority, though the
minority was not neglected, were carried
into meetings, presented pro forma and
immediately voted on without even a show
of interest. 1t was all only the second
move toward widening the chasm between
factions.
1t was rumored in some districts that
the Southern Pacific Company has been
making desperate struggle to get a repre-
sentation in the convention and had its
influential men around town yesterday

of several old time railroad men on the
tickets. Carrot McEnerney had business
at Headquarters for the first time 10 long
period.
