Mayor d. L. d. Granger was nomi-
mated for congress in the First congress
sional district last evening by the Demo-
cratic convention at Music Hall, beating
Hon. Charles E. German by five votes,
In a total OF SO, the vote standing 32 for
Granger to q for German.
II took some queer figuring to find out
where the convention stood and how
many 1t consisted Of. There were 60 bal
lots cast. there were IS delegates. or sup
posed delegates. present, and 81 answered
to a roll call, taken after the ballot had
been taken and the result declared.
No credentials committee was appointed
and no credentials read OF asked fSr. 1t
was simply a free and easy convention
and nothing to prevent anyone present
from voting who cared to.
1t was early discovered that the New
port delegation was for German first.
last and all the time-end that this was
not because they wanted Mr.. German
nominated. so 1t was said by some who
professed to know, but because they
thought he would be an easier man for
Congressman Bull TO beat.
The Granger men. led by Richard p.
Comstock and Colonel Donahue, were al
FIRST undecided whether TO present the
name of their candidate or not, but after
canvass of the delegates II was figured
out that he could win and II was decided
TO stick 10 the program.
