MORE A.P. A. TROUBLE
Caldwell Is Sore on Charlie johnson,
Very Sore Indeed.
THE LATTER'S BAD BREAK
Bulls of accommodation Are Be-
Ing Prepared BY the Worthy
President and Many Heads
viii Be Chopped Off.

There are more communications
pending in the A. +. A. IT seems that
the course pursued by some of the left
wing delegates have not been salts
Factory TO the high officials of the or
ganization. Charles Q. johnson, sup
posed 10 be one of the most faithful Of
the faithful, has incurred the serious
displeasure of Mr.. Caldwell. The lat
ter gentlemen prepared some resolu-
tons which supposedly represented the
sentiments of the A. +. AS. on the is
sues of the day. Mr.. Caldwell intend
ed to present those resolutions in the
county convention himself, but circum-
stances over which he was unable TO
have any control denied him that
pleasure Not being elected a delegate
TO the republican convention himself
ne delegated Mr.. Johnson TO introduce
the resolutions for him. Mr.. Johnson,
however, does not possess the nerve OF
Mr.. Caldwell and his heart failed him,
Doth in the county convention and in
the state convention. Mr. johnson ac-
tually introduced some resolutions rela-
tive to silver which have been pretty
generally read by this time. But the
resolutions Mr.. Caldwell actually drew
up ana ordered Mr.. Johnson to intro
duce were as follows:
whereas, The burning issue before
the great American and Canadian pub
lie at this time is not the free and UNI
limited coinage of silver at any ratio
at all but the driving out of Satolli and
the Irish Catholics from this country
and the securing Of all offices to mem
bers of the order known as the A. p.
As, and
Whereas, The people of this COM
munity regard the presence of Catho-
lies as detrimental to our local and ma
tionai prosperity and against the in
terests of the A. p. AS, and
Whereas, There Is imminent danger
that both the republican and democrat
ic parties In convention assembled will
Ignore the just claims of A. p. As. to
the holding of all the offices, and to the
adoption OF positive expulsion plank
In the party platform: therefore, be 1t
hereby
Resolved. That this convention in
struct its delegates to the national re-
publican convention called for June 16
at ST. Louis, to do all in their power
to secure plank in the platform of
said national convention, pledging the
republican party of the United States
to the passage and executive approval
of legislation insurlng the free ard un-
limited holding OF offices by members
OF the A. II. A. and the free and I'M
limited expulsion of Irish Catholics
from the United States, and that fail
ing to secure such plank in the plat
form the Montana delegates thereupon |
withdraw from the convention"
Now Mr.. Johnson changed the above |
resolutions to make them refer to the |
coinage of silver instead OF the expul- |
sion of the Catholics. and that is what |
has excited the wrath OF Mr.. Caldwell |
The latter gentleman canot understand
how Mr.. Johnson could possibly con- |
found free silver with the pope of |
Rome, and he attributes the changing
OF the resolutions to disloyalty and |
cowardice on the part of Mr.. Johnson |
He also charges that in the county |
convention, Mr.. Johnson made a mo-
ton to make the endorsement of Car
ter, a Catholic. unanimous. out OF 60 |
A. Il. As. present only 10 or II voted
against this motion. Their names are
all known and they will be dealt with
according to the severest penalties pro-
vided by the organization. IL is also
that the A. +. A. delegates in
the state convention voted for Carter
as delegate to the national conven-
ton. Bulls OF accommodation are
being prepared by Pope Caldwell
against these men, and Mr.. Caldwell is
determined to purify the A. =. AS IL
nobody Is left In the organization but /
himself and Mr.. Palmer.
IL Is to be noticed however that the
rial of the communicated members
5 set Tor sufficiently distant time.
The date of the trial of the members
lccused of supporting Alderman Knowl-
on for reelection has been set for next
February. Mr.. Caldwell gives as his
'eason for fixing this late date that IL
would cost $3.50 to bring the state judi
'iary board together at this time. the
MEMBERS of the board living I'm various
larts of the state. AS all the ex-com-
nunicated members have pleaded gull
y II is difficult to understand how II is
Necessary TO bring the board together
dr. Johnson and the other delegates to
he county and state conventions have
lot as yet put in a plea and II is I'M
lerstood that they are disposed to
light the charges preferred by Mr..
