man who was robbed of his vote. He
said that if the convention would have
been permitted to select the delegates
it would have been hard work for Long
to have secured delegation.
The Sharon delegation said that on
ly one out of the q republicans who
attended the primary at Sharon were
for Long. They were instructed for
Wallace and didn't get chance to
vote. They say they know when they
will get chance to vote and they are
going to see that their votes are count
ed.
A prominent feature of the conven-
tion was the absence of the substantial
country republicans. In justice to their
intelligence. be it said, they knew that
il was q waste of time to stop work
and come to town. They knew ev.
erything was previously arranged and
they valued their manhood too highly
to be used as tools in the hands of I'M
scrupulous politicians.
Every motion that was made was
presented by a Medicine Lodge dele
gate-either one of the Big Four or an
attache.
If by H" wants to land as rep
resentative of this county, he has a
chance now as member of the sena-
torial delegation, to nominate Billie
Millar for senator and thus get him
out of the road. But it is quietly
whispered that AL Noble is flirting
with the senatorial bee, and altogether
Mr.. B. II. has rocky road to travel.
Two years ago when the ringsters
had the delegates selected through a
made. 10 order committee, it was pre-
dicted that they would never resort 10
such bold act again after the protest
went up from all portions of the coun
ty, but Saturdays actions prove that
the fellows who run the republican
party don't even give the wishes of the
rank and file a'moment's thought.
There was no oratory, no waste of
words. Most of 1t went by signs and
winks.
Oscar Haberlein was conspicuously
absent, as was also Eb Rule, the au-
thor of the special dispatch from Shar-
on.
There was enough anti. Long senti-
ment in the convention to have won
out, but 1t wasn't organized. The
pros had every gap mended and II
went off like clockwork.
Brigadier General Axline, Lieuten.
ant Nixon, and Col. Read can wage as
successful battle IN the absence of
their chief as they can in his presence
There were conferences in every cor
ner by a select few. The Bills. the
Lutes, the Captains, the Nicks, thu
Coils, and the Otes participated. Ths
common herd stood in the middle ant
looked on in wonderment. A sort o.
| ring around the roses.
There was no anti Leland sentimen
expressed. On the contrary, an instruc
tion was put through for Albaugh TO
state chairman, who Is q tool in LIE
lands hands and has always been rec
Ognized as such.
