Arizona republican., 1901-10-27

gation as a body came in soon after the election of a temporary chairman. The balcony was well filled and in the audience there was quite q sprinkling of ladies.
 Shortly after 10 o'clock Governor Murphy and Governor Otero of New Mexico with their staffs ascended the stage. accompanied by Mayor Walter Talbot and Secretary Frank P. Trott of the democratic central committee. Governor Murphy at once called the conference to order and directed Sec retary Trott to read the call under which it had been convened. That having been done Rev. Dr. F.. A. Pen ick delivered a brief invocation for divine guidance in a matter which so vitally affected the future of Arizona. The governor then introduced Mayor Talbot. who welcomed the delegates and trusted that their stay in Phoenix might be as pleasant as it was desired it would be profitable in rescuing the territory from political bondage. The mayor then suggested a temporary or ganization, whereupon Hon. John C. Herndon nominated Hon. A. J. Doran of Yavapai for temporary chairman. The motion was enthusiastically sec onded by Judge A. C. Baker who di- rected attention to the first step which had disregarded party lines and he trusted that the same course would be pursued throughout the deliberations of tn, corferenoc.
 The election of Mr. Dorar was uncn- imous. He thanked the conference briefly and hoped that as litl; time as , possible would be consumed in oraJory.
 Pima county nominated F. J. Trip pei for secretary and Yuma placed I;. L. Patterson in nomination. Judge Barnes avoided a more or less time consuming contest by moving tae eiec- tion of both. That was done and the appointment of committees was ta.-en up. There was manifested . disposi- ton to be finical and several good na- tured wrangles ensued regarding the manner and order of the formation of the committees.
