The feature of the democratic county
convention held at Deer Lodge yester-
day afternoon was the polite manner in
which Mr.. Edward Scharnikow of the
city of Deer Lodge opposed selecting the
delegates to the state convention by a
committee. He and j. r. Toole had sew
eral rounds, but when it came to voting
Mr.. Scharnikow always lost for van of
support. In the matter of a committee
OF five selecting the delegates to the state
convention, Mr.. Scharnikow appealed for
falr play, but his entreaties were in vain.
He said that was his eighth convention
to attend and he had never seen fair play
at any of them on certain matters, such
as selecting delegates or a legislative
ticket.
The report of the committee on order
of business recommended as the third or
der of business the selection of delegates
by a committee. Mr.. Scharnikow then
made a motion for the committee to Sc
lect the delegates from the floor, which
was tabled by a motion made by ]. NJ.
Madden. Mr.. Scharnikow still appealed
for fair play and when the matter of Sc
Letting a state senator and legislative
ticket from the floor came up. he said
that for some time the south end of the
county had secured the big end. He
thereupon introduced a resolution that
the county be divided in the matter of
selecting representatives and all that
part south of Race Track select four and
the north side two. The resolution was
finally tabled.
J. R. Quigley of Blackfoot City was
chosen permanent chairman, and j. r.
