A SOFT SNAP!

failed now the party's name was
mud for an indefinite future period
as it had been for an indefinite
past one. The speaker adverted to the
platform OF the late Republican con-
vention and abiding to a poetical
phrase expressive of the ascent of
Phoenix from the valley of the
shadow OF death to the mountain top OF
prosperity, he said THAT platform
was concocted by an aggregation of
the most incandescent lighted Jack
asses"
At this each member OF the delega-
ton elevated one ear and looked at his
neigh Dor as if to say: LET ne see,
seems to me I've heard that before"
Well, they had; they had heard Mr..
Campbell in his various orations from
electricity came to be an artificial H.
luminator. Mr.. Campbell did, how
ever coin one word, "Jack-Asinine. !"
He closed by nominating DR.. Rosson
for mayor. There was wild applause.
The nomination was seconded lap
plause.] There were no other candi
dates [applause.l The nomination was
made un enimors Applause The doc
tor was compelled to come before the
delegation and say how thankful he
was for something which he had told
every member of tpe delegation private
! ly, meant death to his business APP
plause.]
Mr.. F1ckas nominated Clay Meador
for assessor and tax collector, There
were no other candidates or dissenting
voices.
For marshal there were two candi
dates. E. F. Kellner brought out Gus.
Clark and F. NJ. Czsrnowski nominated
Steve Bailey before some delegate could
say "meke it unanimous"
A choice WAS made by the following
vote: Clark Is, Bailey Is. Mr.. Clark
was forced before the convention and
while he explained that he would do
the best he could with the nomination,
he kept tanning himself industriously
with his hat as if anticipating the hot
task they had set before him.
J. A. R. Irvine was nominated for
treasurer by reclamation and Billy
Lount taking advantage Of Maj. Ed.
Schwartz absence, nominated him for
recorder. That was the only really I'm,
fair thing done during the convention.
All the other candidates were chosen
from the audience and were given an
opportunity to protest.
A recess was then taken while the
delegates from the First and Third
wards com muned with themselves and
selected delegates and chose commit
teemen and candidates for councilmen.
After parturient period OF ten min
utes the following were produced.
Coun Gilman First ward, Leo Gold
man; councilman Second ward, NAL
colin McNair. B. F. Zoeckler was
possible candidate in this ward, but
was saved from the sacrifice by a mar
row margin in vote among the dele
gates.
J. G. Kellum nominated Aaron Gold
berg for chairman of the central com
mittee. Mr.. Goldberg declined but
the declination was disregarded.
The central committee was made up
as follows:
First Ward-M. Garcia, L. H. Cha
mers, Jas. Mcnamara.
Second Ward-H. H. Mcneil, H. L.
Chandler.
Third Ward-Neri Osborne, M. E.
Hurley and r. f. Doll.
Fourth Ward-E. F. Kellner and
Frank Trott.
The committee was very properly
warned against the evil consequence of
illegal voting. 1t was also held re-
sponsible for any other disaster that
might occur on election day.
A resolution by Mr.. Gold berg pledges
all defeated candidates to turn out and
push things along as enthusiastically as
if they had been successful. Steve
Bailey it may be seen therefore has a
herculean and lonesome task.
