Boss Hanson asked Mr.. Kimban if it
were not true that West Weber was

said that was none of his business.

explained that Bishop Mcfarland and

| wanted to tell what the scrap was
about, but the chair ruled him out of
order. Mr.. HOgge refused to sit down.
He advanced toward the front gesticu-

ing to tell you any way" A half dozen
delegates tried TO make him sit down
and be still, but he would not until the
convention was in an uprOar. Quiet

| Mr.. Hanson moved that nominations be
closed and a ballot taken. Meanwhile
Mr.. Allison came in and told some

Something For Glasmann.
Mr.. Thomas then took the floor and
asked the convention to name Will
/ lam Glasmann by reclamation. James
n. Kfmball objected, saying he was OPP
! posed to railroading nominations
through. He thought Mr.. Glasmann
should take his chances with the other
candidates inasmuch as he had pub
lished that he was not a candidate for
any office and allowed others to get
out for the place.
Mr.. Thomas said Mr. Glasmann was
not q. candidate. but might be "Roose-
velted" in, or words to that effect. Mr.
Gunnell kept rising to a point of order
and insisting that Mr. Kimball had
no right to speak except to make a
nomination. Mr.. KimbaIl carried his
point by nominating Mr.. Gunnell for
the place and then making his anti
railroading speech.
Mr.. Gunnell withdrew and the mo-
ton was put. There were about a
dozen noes to the chorus of ayes -
and Mr.. Glasmann was declared the
nominee.

For county commissioner the nom

gait, accidentally ran into Mr.. Glas-

A long period of turmoil followed
during which it was impossible to get

was danger of the slate being smashed
During the vote the Fourth WARD
passed and seve raj county districts die

that they would not vote till the
Fourth ward had done so. The votes
of Wilson were distributed one eacI

its vote till the last and then threw il
to Stanford.
