HARRIS Is TURNED DOWN

! About 1890 o'clock today Jerry Clifford,
chairman of the democratic city central
committee who occupied a chair on the
Auditorium stage with Secretary Naugh-
/ ton, hammered on the table for order and
the democratic convention was in ses-
! sion. Robert Coombs was chosen assist
ant secretary.
AS soon as the convention opened the
; fight of the Clark and Daily factions was
apparent. p. J. Macarthur was nominat-
ed for chairman by the Daily people and
Ben Harris by the Clark people. There
was motion to have tellers appointed,
but an amendment which provided that
the roll of the delegates be called pre-
vailed. The names of the delegates were
then called. Macarthur voted for himself
and Harris referred to the vote Of his op-
pOnent saying he would vote blank. Nc
Arthur was elected chairman by a vote
of SO to rs. Then motion carried to
declare the election unanimous
Mr.. Macarthur in accepting the honor
said he would act Fairly and fearlessly."
Il. E. Leonard was elected secretary by a
unanimous vote of the convention. 9th
, ers We're nominated but they withdrew.
! A motion was made to have the chair ap-
point committees. A question arose as
to the committee on resolutions. Some
thought the chair should have the power
to hunt around among the delegations to
lind a lawyer to act upon the committee.
Others We're of the opinion that any of
the delegates should have enough horse
sense, to draw up a set of resolutions
that would answer the purposes of the
convention. Finally the discussion end
ed, the chair being satisfied that he was
clothed with enough power to get up a
proper resolution committee and Messrs.
Macarthur and Leonard took up the work
of picking out the names of men who
would be suitable for committee service.
While they were completing their labors
the delegates talked over what had hap
pened and smoked few campaign ci-
garS.

After the appointment of the commit
tees Judge Nichols made motion that
the convention adjourn until 3 o'clock to
give the committees chance to meet.
The motion was carried and the session
adjourned.
In the afternoon the delegates were a
little slow in getting into the convention
hall and at $3.50 the meeting had not
been called to order. A wait was made
on some of the committees. In the rear
part of the hall quite crowd was stand
ing awaiting the opening of the session.

der. Chairman Macarthur announced
that the council or rather the conven-
ton was in order and the committees
