When the Democratic convention
assembled yesterday morning in the
court room in adjourned session, there
was an air of suppressed excitement on
all sides. When the convention ad-
iourned Saturday night it was
thought by many that matters in the
county judgeship race could be
Strengthened out by Monday morn
ing, The first ballot taken yesterday
demonstrated, however, that this
hope was a vain one and was destined
\ to die almost with its inception.
One, two and then three ballots
were slowly called over owing to
FREQUENT Interruptions. Won Rosen-
berg was gaining on every ballot
when at 1915 Mr.. L. w. Gregory
moved an adjournment until o'clock
and at the same time called o caucus
of the Walker men. This caucus
sought to arbitrate matters with the
Won Rosenberg crowd but all to no
purpose. When the convention met
e.sGIin at o'clock it was exactly in
I tFs same - plight as it
< is at the adjourning hour. One
/ ! e ballot was voted and counted
VA 20 another recess was taken with
a view of settling the difference for as
Captain Roberdeau feelingly put it
something must be doue. During
this recess the special arbitration
committee could still do nothing that
would be agreeable to both sides and
hence when the convention opened
up again the situation practically re-
manned unchanged. Another balloI
was cast and then another adjourn
ment was had. This time the ad-
iournment was had for the purpose of
h letting a special committee, consisting
of one representative from each vot-
ing box, devise some means out OF the
difficulty. After being out about an
hour they came in with a minority
and majority report. The majority
report, favoring the withdrawal Of
both Walker and Won Rosenberg, was
finally adopted after a long and
heated discussion. The adoption o.
this report brought Mr.. DeCordova to
his feet and in ringing speech
he nominated Mr.. Dave McFai
for the position of county Judge.
In the meantime, however, Mr.
Walker had withdrawn and on Sec
