he would like to give up his place and
go homo to SanDete. where there was
peace. Wont the gentlemen recog-
nize that this is a Republican c0nven-
tion?" he pleaded.
Daveler's call for the question was
lost sight Of. Delegates from San
Juan, Grand and Summit jumped to
Juan was recognized. He said some
severe things about the gentlemen
from Beaver county, who favored Mr..
Critchlows motion.
w. I. Snyder of Summit said that
every man who favored the PROPOSE
ton to have proxies given to non-reS-
idents was a Salt Lake man. Mr..
Hatch of Wasatch wanted to get
through and go home.
Mr.. Geddes, who was chairman of
the credentials committee. said that
this matter had been fully discussed
in the committee meeting. Individuals
who wanted to get proxies had tried
to discourage country delegates from
coming TO the convention. AN indi-
vidual here has secured from the out
side thirty-five proxies for distribution.

Then a dozen or more orators arose
10 their feet but the chair recognized
Mr. Critchlow alone among them.

cheaper than other gentlemen from
the country, does not amount to much, -
said he, and the audience wondered
which railroad company the Piute was
working for
The Piute answered that he had come
240 miles to the convention, though he
didn't say anything about a pass.
Daveler charged that this was wholly
a political movement on Critchlow's
part, He said that he was willing to
submit to men from the outside coun-
ties, anG if they wanted to come to
conventions they should come.
Proxies Shut Out.
When the vote on CritchIow's mo-
ton was mad. it was defeated By a
tremendous majority, and the country
had declared its independence. The
remnants Of many country delegations
that had only one or two delegates,
and there were many such, had Sc
cured back the proxies which their
absent members had given up to Salt
Lake politicians. AS there was much
turmoil it is difficult to say who voted
the recovered proxies for the Derma-

pete. didn't know how many votes
there We're in the convention.

J. u. Eldredge, jr., moved that the
