telling of the belief among Filipinos that
the present policy of the United States
will not be upheld is regarded as of great
significance. 1t is believed that when
the Filipinos see there is no hope of theis
recognition by the United States they
will give up the fight. The absence of
any suggestion as to more troops being
needed is taken to mean that General
Otis does not believe they could be used
to advantage.

comparative silence and that was not
deathlike, was restored.
One delegate shouted: "Mr. Chairman,
| move the convention adjourn to meet
some future date in Manchester, Clay

A Hardin leader in front of the stage
asked the chairman if he would call the
roll on appeal.
"No, sir" came the determined answer
"My Country 'Tis of Thee" began the
crowd, and for five minutes the conven-
ton took part in an admirable rendition
of the national anthem. Patriotic music
had even less quieting effect than re-
ligious.

In order to rest their vocal organs the
delegates started Il round of whistling
with "A Hot Time" as the theme.
Chairman Redwine here showed the
first sign of impatience. Rapping the
table sharply he said implOringly: Gen

to last?'

sponse like Kansas cyclone and the
crowd struck up: I'VE Won't 90 Home

The disorder continued without in
terruption until after five O'Clock when
the Goebcl men hit upon the plan to
have county chairmen come to the stage
and cast the votes of their delegates
This set their frenzied opponents be-
side themselves with anger but the roll
call proceeded, the awful din increasing
all the while. County chairmen came
to the stage and the clerk had to lean
over to very close range to catch word
that was said. The Hardin men and
many Stone delegates did not vote.
After half an hour of the hardest kind
of work, the ballot was furnished and
announced as follows:
Goebe, 3521a: Stone, 261M; Hardin,
81.
The chair ordered another ballot,
whereupon Ollie James. a big lunged
Stone leader cried: IAN Hardin and
Stone men refuse to vote"
'They wont do it." the Goebelites re-
sponded defantly and sure enough they
did not. and predictions that have been
made that the weakness of Hardin and
Stone would show itself in the lack of
control over their delegates We're verified.
The last ballot, the 18th. resulted:
Goebel 320ih; Stone 30; Hardin, 50.
BY agreement between of tine candi-
dates the convention them adjourned
until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.
