Blow That Killed Crawford.
Taylor Ridge. May 23.-One of the
most exciting fights ever wared in
Edgington township was pulled off at
the republican caucus last Saturday
afternoon. 1t was between Crawford
and anti-Crawford men. and it had
been brewing for at least six lonr.
weary weeks. The straw that broke
the camel's back was when the
ants railroaded the delegates through
before Crawford and Manager Kell
realized what was going on. The
Crawford faction was prepared with
printed tickets to vote bv ballot, and
some of them We're Instructed to vote
all the tickets that they could get.
But the ants gave them a taste of
Chicago politics. They succeeded in
getting their chairman, and no sooner
was he seated than a notion was
made allowing the chair to appoint
a committee of three to select the
delegates. Ii was all done in one
breath and declared carried. The
chair selected the committee and it
in turn made quick work naming the
delegates, and before anyone had
time to realize what had happened. 2
motion to adjourn prevailed. The
ants, having finished their work. de-
parted i'll peace, feeling within them
selves that it was good to be there.
but it is not known what became of
the other fellows. This is the way
the grand old party does things.
not only in Edgington, but it seems
everywhere else. Whenever they get
chance to bulldoze anything through,
it is done unscrupulously.
