The Kalispell bee. [volume] (Kalispell, Mont.) 1900-192?, 1900-06-19

the report of the committee was adopted
without division.
The committee on permanent organ
ization and order of business reported in
favor of making the temporary organiza
tion permanent.
Delegate Graves from Sedan moved to
substitute the name of A. j. Burnes in
place of |. L. Flinchpaugh for permanent
chairman and asked that the vote on the
substitute be by ballot. The substitute
caused considerable discussion and the
chairman appeared bewildered with the
number of delegates who were on their
feet at once clamoring for recognition
and by the variety of suggestions offered
as to the form of the question. After the
matter had been Strengthened out the
chairman requested Judge Smith to put
the question. This the judge did and
the substitute was adopted by viva
voce vote, A to 35 This was the only
contest in the convention and was sup
posed to settle the question of whether a
solid anti Clark delegation should be
sent to Butte or a delegation named
which should give both factions fair
representation in the interests of har-
mony at the fall election. Mr.. Burnes
was the representative of the latter SEN
timent
In taking the chair Mr.. Burnes made
brief statement to the effect that he
was not in the chair as either Clark or
DAILY man but as democrat, a state
ment which was greeted with applause.
