and. as a consequence. delay of an hour
ensued. In the interim Andy Moynihan. edi-
tor of the Fort Wayne Journal. offered a
resolution asking that the delegation be in
structed TO bring before the convention to-
day motion TO instruct the state central
committee to divide up the conventions
are able to take care of the crowds. He
argued that it is unfair to give them all to
indianapolis, and. In addition. if sent to the
different cities it would tend to stimulate
the influence of the party and increase the
vote on election day because of the enthusi-

to have the delegation pledge the district
for Judge Kopelkes nomination judge OF
the Appellate Court, but the opposition was

The Ninth district was instructed unan-

spirit displayed. In most cases the district
had the slate all made up and only about
five minutes were required to go through
the matter of form in making the nomi-
nations and acquiesing in the election of the
pre-arranged candidates. This feature of
the meetings in the minds of many augers
badly for the party, judging by past records.
as when this Democratic feature is lacking
in primaries or conventions it is taken for
granted that the party. figuratively speak
ing, has its tail between its legs and is
conscious of lmDenQiug defeat.
There were two factions in the Fourth
district meeting, the factions represented
those interested in the jackson county
courthouse dispute. After a lively squabble
a resolution was introduced to the effect
that none of the delegates should receive
