NOTES.
Ine convention was very harmon.
lous." We never heard 80 many net
names INDUCED in before.
Sam Stewart says he had a majority
OF the delegates after the primaries. on
Fr iday and even on Saturday morning.
but he knew of no rule to keep them.
That 10 O'Clock caucus knocked Sam
out.
II Or. Tedrow, George Nay and Err.
nest Taylor are as good men as Sam
Griffin, they will be elected. il Sam
knows what he is talking about.
When he was nominated he told the
convention that If they nominate as
good men for the balance Of the of.
hces. they will all be elected. We
would like to know whether the gentle
men above named are permitted to
trot in Sans class.
When the test vote on chairmanshin
was in progress, y. E. Lamport. of
Turkey creek. came in and he did not
know how to vote. Otis Lorton. who
Ialleo 20 get In on the Medicine Lodge
delegation, slipped up to him and whis.
pered bragg" Bragg got his vote.
Yet In the face of such open breaks.
some republicans deny the existence of
a ring.
The position of Oscar Haberlein. the
publisher Of the Kiowa News, was fire..
quently discussed. One country dele.
gate suggested that Haberlein is in
line and that the fight on him should
stop. A Medicine Lodge boss said
that the fight would never stop-that
Haberlein was not even entitled to the
respect OF the republicans OF Barber
county.
Frame, of Elm Mills, went home as
a typical example Of misplaced conf
dence. He stood loyalty to MiIlar.
Glenn and the rest of them, but they
didn't reciprocate. He was slaughter.
ed after he had fulfilled his part of the
contract.
