THE 7ERRITORI4L DEMOCRATIC
CON VENTIOS ATEL RENO:

No one owns the Democratic party
Of oklahoma; nor is it subject to the
domination of any clique or faction
for long. The Democracy Of Oklaho-
ma is strong and reRnsnt, and its
member were never more alive and
active than today. National victory
is in the air and territorial Democrats
thoroughly awake to this fact, are
anxious to perfect the party orgsniza-
tion in order that they may give the
new administration their moral, il
not their material support.
The Guthrie daily leader. [volume] (Guthrie, Okla.) 1893-1996, 1900-06-07

During the past eight years there
has been no more interest ma infested
in q territorial convention than that
at El Reno Tuesday. Representative
Democrats from every county of the
territory were present, besides large
delegations from the attached Indian
reservations. Through a bunglesome
oversight Of the chairman Of the terri
torial central committee, these reser.
vations were not provided representa-
tion in the official call, but the Demo
Gratis living in the reservations in
question, fully aPpreciating their
rights and cognizsnt Of the customs
hitherto obtaining, were on hama and
were accorded the recognition justly
due them.

The convention proper then trans.
acted business quietly. While waiting
for committee reports, James Diggs Of
Noble, delivered speech, in which he
denounced Johnson as a traitor to De-
mocracy, "a gold bug, and who in the
supreme court chamber recently told
me that he was through with the Dem
ocrstic party" w. b. Denton Of Gar
Geld county also spoke, touching on
the misguided "bolters who had blind.

ties"

affairs, owing to internal quarrels-
charges, counter charges and removals
Of officials, it is unfortunate that more
dirty linen is to be exposed, and that,
zoo, in a national convention, where
only harmony, good feeling and united
effort only can possibly insure the in
sertion of a statehood plank in the
national platform. Contesting Demo
cratic delegations fromOklahoma mean
trou BILE While there is no question that
the delegates selected by the ma sjority
in the Ell Reno convention will be
seated, yet the nanional committee on
credentials will be moved to nervous
ness and perhaps to disgust by the
apparent lack Of harmony among Ok
lahoma Democrats. In case Of violent
ill-feeliDg, the committee may decide
TO ignore Oklahoma entirely, and seat
both delegations with one half
vote each. Yet even in that event
there will be an extra national com
mitteeman to be disposed of.
The Guthrie daily leader. [volume] (Guthrie, Okla.) 1893-1996, 1900-06-07

The delegates who had bolted the
convention in the afternoon organized
by electing j. L. Mitsch of Welleston
temporary chairman and F. B. Stevens
secretary. Committees were appoint
ed. In the evening these deleg ates re-
assem- bled. The committee on creden-
tials reported the following mum Der of
delegates present and entitled to seats:

The report was made by c. B. Ames
of oklahoma county and was adopted
as read.
The committee on order of business
and permanent organiz alton recon-
mended A j. Jones of Garfield county
for permanent chairman and j. M.
Marks Of Blaine for permanent secre.
terY. The report was unanimously
adopted.
The committee on resolutions re-
ported, through Joseph Wisby, as fol =
lows:
Resolved That we favor a perpet-
ual and eternal adhersrce to the prin-
ciples Of the Democratic party which
created this union and will maintain
it to the end Of time. In furtherance
of this resolution and in order that it
may be enforced, we favor the renom-
ination Of William j. Bryan as a can
didate, and Of all true Americans, for
the presidency,
Resolved That we endorse and
affirm the Chicago platform in spirit
and n letter"
Moved by Col. Johnson that the roll
be called for nominations for the del
egates and alternates TO the national
convention. AS the roll was called,
the following counties presented their
candidates:
Canadian, Dan w. Peery; Cleveland,

lahoma City delegation, and faaheTlng
the candidacy of Jasper Sipes, for "a
tional committeeman, realizing that a
com blnation he had effected before
the convention was unable to with
stand a roll call Of counties, became
violent and vitriolic. He was In
hopeless minority He urged the mi
nority delegates to clamor and they
clsmored. Their clamor was loud and
long. Several delegates mounted
chairs ahd demanded to be heard on
the motion to table. Now motion to
table is not debatsble. Miller, the
chairman, and a good one too, under
stands parliamentary law, and called
upon the secretary 10 proceed with
the roll call As in all conventions
where q disturbance Is precipitated
there are always batch of disinter-
ested persons who are ready to add
fuel 70 the fire. 1t was the purpose of
johnson ct al to stampede the major
ity element and prevent a roll call,
which would disclose the exact
strength Of the contending forces.
The roll call proceeded under Difficult
tie, the delegates coming to the sec
retary and announcing the vote of
their delegations, The roll call was
finally com pleted and the chair an
nounced it as l62 votes in favor of
tabling and 20 against. The original
motion was then adopted, While this
was going on delegates were rear
ranging the chairs in the back end Of
the Ihall, preparatory to organizing

During the roll call, Col Johnson,

D. Cartwell, John L. Mitch, Jasper

demanded that debate be allowed on
the amendment and finally having
lost his head, Johnson cried, "All wh

hastilyorganized in the rear of the hall
