WHERE THERE WERE CONTESTS
=, oner,nr the meeting Mr.. Lauterbach an
,oad that tho secretary (who was yet TO %
o,oo,ad, had a roll prepared which showed In
ha, districts there were contests. The con-
,stad districts were to be left out OF the picture
until their cases had been attended TO oy the
proper committee. These proved to be the ISL
Ivtb With. XIIth XXVlIIth and XXXth--all
anti-machine districts.
Mr. Lauterbach said nominations for tenn
norary officers were in order, and James w.
Auten. of the XXVth District popped into the
middle aisle and after fulsome eulogy or Ed
ward Lauterbach proposed him for temporary
chairman. The claques of the machne pouhoeo
the floor with their feet and shouted for several
seconds. Mr.. Lauterbach was oeciareu e'e@'e~
and made speech
He told the delegat IS how fairly. equitaoy
and honorably" he intended to fulfil the duties
of ,eurorary chairman, and prophesied victory
for what he said he believed the dominant or
ganization in the city of New-fork-the eiori-
Gus Republican party. This sidelong sQuiht III
the direction of straight ticket met immense
cheering He threw a sop OF euloSy INFO the
hasLet of Governor Morton who he said was
unexcelled In the admiration OF the Empire
State.
Then Mr.. Lauterbach referred to the appear
OF the Brookield Republicans for union ticket
which was sent the machine caucus at Ter
race Garden on Wednesday night and which
he said bad been scattered broadcast In the
newspapers OF the day" Whether this plan
should be adopted. or whether the convention
should bsavey and intrepidly assume that
itself was endowed with the strength. the spirit
and the courage to carry on the municipal cam
paign was for the convention alone to deter
mine.
