Arizona republican., 1900-09-09

| C0wan's suggestion be acted upon. i Harry R. Tritlc addressed the couven- | ticn, offering what the cOlOred people | throughout the nation have been com plainfng about-a promise to do some- l thing for them some time if they were i patient. This manner of expression aroused the ire of MT. Hudson, who was finally sat upon and MT. Frazier | again spoke in favor of the colored voters who were older republican l voters in Maricopa county than MT. l Tritle. MT. Crump. who was as smooth a man as appeared in the convention, 1 finally said, entirely disregarding MT. l Tritle's observations. that he did not want anything thrown at him like a i hone to a dog. He would not accept 1 Col. McCowan's place and withdrawing | his objection, moved that the report of the committee Of nine be adopted.
