AT this announcement IL seemed as
though pandemonium had broken loose
on the outside of tho railing. There we're
loud cries of traitor" and n terrible up
roar was kicked up which continued for
several minutes. II was the evident in
tention of the outsiders not to allow Mr..
smith TO talk. but he quietly paced the
n)or and waited. In a momentary lull
lie shouted, Il am a republican AMI don't
give d for you people on the outside.
number OF people who voted mo- on
the proposition have not got the sand to
stand up for their principles, but l will
not be inundated by anyone"
The mccarthy racket was renewed and
y. *. Grlce got up on ono of the benches
on the outside and moved that the meet
ing resolve Itself into n mass convention.
Those who were close up i'm front heard
the chairman remark: This looks like
democratic meeting" and Ed Smith
rep led: Yes, and n - sight worse"
just then the outsiders made a concerted
rush for the INSIDE of the railing and n
motion tn adjourn was put and carried
just in time to prevent the A. T. AS from
capturing the X. II. A. meeting bodily.
WITH cries of well show you who the
republican party is, they jumped over
the railing and the old line republicans ex-
perienced great deal of trouble in get
ting out of the hall without having to
fight their way through the jam. County
Clerk and Recorder L. q. Johnson. who
took great pains TO make himself
ono of the most prominent figures,
mounted n table in accordance with
the prearranged plan and harra ngued the
crowd. AT the same time j. II. Gree, who
had been selected to act as chairman,
made lis way through the crowd to the

fora free ballot and fair expression
have been overridden. but the republican

MIR. Grlce had reached the rostrum and
when somebody moved that he be elected

''and they have taken ignominious flight.
Every republican now has n right to ex-
press his opinion and there will be no Sc

OF the people has gone by. We will now
proceed TO name dates for primaries and
n convention"

the motion out of order. II. D. Weller,
after announcing himself as an American
born republican, moved that primaries
and n convention be held in the usual
way and it went through with a rush. ii.
