tongue-tied lambs-they cannot even
hleat. but simply follow.
The only attempt that was made to
change the determination of the victors
was the putting forward of Senator Del
Vale against Judge A. M. Stephens for
the Craftsmanship, but tile cameo-faced,
sturdy senator who has long felt the
crushing power of the railway would not
lend himself to the plan, and nobly made
way for Judge Stephens All was then
clear sailing, the only differences being as
to what course 10 steer by-a question Of
methods, not of the end sought. Some
times the eagerness of the delegates to car
led them into parliamentary tangles, from
which extrication was difficult but all
was settled In order and with dignity.
AS the noon adjournment drew near
Chairman Stephens said to a reporter:
'Well, we have had no scrap yet. but am
afraid we will have 1t this afternoon and
he proved seer, for up In the room of the
committee on credentials there was a
storm brewing, which burst in force later.
This was the question Of unseating John

contested by the negro Albright. The lat

considerable native force and gift of
speech. permeated with the humor charac-
teristic of his race.
Mitcheirs case was hopeless. A petition
had been filed before the committee signed
by tWenty-eight of the best-known Demo-
Gratis Of the Cahuenga precinct, claiming
that the ballot box a the primary had been
stuffed. This was backed up by a number
of other protests stating that the Mitchell
cohorts had used unfair methods at the
polls. AS Mitchell refused to appear be-
fore the credentials committee, and sent
word for them to go to h, they recon-
mended In their report that the whole dele
cation from Cahuenga be thrown out and
five names which they presented be seated
as the delegation from that precinct.
The venerable chairman of the commit
tee. Mr.. Threlkeld, came on the stage, and
tried to read the report, but his voice was
too weak, and "Megaphone-vo!ce" Wright
acted as speaker for him.

Mr.. Del Vale: II hope that no one for

THE FUN BEGINS
Report Of Credentials Committee and
the Row It Raised


After the announcement of the commit

it was about two hours thereafter when
the committee on credentials were ready to

j. b. Rapp and Charles, H. Durham have
one vote each. and @. w. Albright and

Ramish Makes His Kick Go
The report of the committee on creden-
