town. Steps were taken by both factions
10 avoid all possible perversion OF
their forces, and caucusas lasting until
nearly midnight were held, at which it i5
probable that a course of action was laid
out that will be followed today, al.
though nothing would be given out by
the leaders last night.
DEMOCRATS RAINED ON.
With a chilly rain falling the spirits OF
the democratic delegates in the city to
the county convention today were con-
siderably deadened. There was not the
force spirit manifested in the matter of
the minority element. The convention
was called to order at II 80 by Chairman
A. J. villette, of the county central COM
mittee, and the call read by F. +. Hig-
gins nominated Hon. John G.. Egans for
the Clark people for temporary chair
man. M. e. Quinn of Paradise Springs,
was put up by tn Daily people. The re-
suit of the vote was a majority of 80 for
the Clark people. The fight was some-
what surprising, as the Clark majority
was not considered as strong as the fight
indicated, there being 63 for Clark and 81
anti-Clark. Without unnecessary delay
the following were nominated and the
convention adjourned until 2 o'clock p.

adopted. A struggle occurred on the sug-
gestion by F. F.. Higgins of the Clark

four legislative nominees OF the labor

made, and the struggle ended without
action being taken other than the nam
ing of a committee of five to confer with
the labor delegates for coalition At $3.50
