Arizona republican., 1902-09-16

held at 9 o'clock, at which the matter of the nominations was brought up only incidentally. The business of this eau GUS was to arrange for the temporary organization. That was done quickly and thoroughly and soon after the Dor
 ris theater began to fill.
 The theater was never more elabor- ately decorated. Wherever there was room for bright colore bunting it was suspended. The front of the stage was
 filled with palms and potted plants. A
 picture of Washington occupied the
 central front of the stage. A portrait
 of Jefferson on the west side of the
 stage smiled benignly upon his follow
 CTS on the other side of the house, and
 scowled upon the few members of the
 Young Mems Democratic Club who had
 the hardihood to seat themselves on his
 side. The picture of William J. Bryan
 completed the gallery of immortals.
 All this was the work of Messrs. Jac-
 quith and Clancy.
 The convention was called to order
 at 10 o'clock by Chairman Clark of the county central committee. He was pleased to see so many manifestations
 of harmony, and predicted a sweeping NltlOIy lOI Ailt pil ly III -NONEiiiDtis
 The call was read by Secretary Miller and at this point harmony began to
 assert itself in the most marked man ner. The sound of the secretary's voice had hardly died away before Eugene S. Russell of the Young Mems Demo- cratic Club moved the election of Carl
 Hayden of Tempe for temporary chair man. This was what the Jeffersonian caucus had already determined and MT. Russell, who had somehow heard
 of it, took this plan of letting the world know that he knew what the Jeffersonians had been doing. His of | ficious kindness was resented by J. l.. B. Alexander. who moved that things should proceed in their regular order and that the roll call should precede any other business. As soon as the last name on the roll had been called Mr Russell was on his feet again clamoring for the nomination of MT. Hayden. The nomination was seconded by Captain Alexander. This was the first time in the history of the world that these two gentlemen had been to- gether on any political proposition. On the motion of Captain Alexander the
 nomination of MT. Hayden was made by exclamation and he was escorted to
 the chair.
 MT. Hayden recalled that only two weeks ago he was not Ir>Sle chairman of a Maricopa county democratic con- vention with almost as great unanim- ity as that with which he had now been chosen. He saw in the change of | feeling toward him an suspicious sign for the democratic party. He believed that the whole ticket would be elected and it was important that it should be for the coming election would be the last one under a territorial form of government. MT. Hayden grew bigger and bigger with the spirit Of prophecy and went to the extent of naming the first two United States senators from Arizona Hon. Marcus A. Smith and Hon. J. F. Wilson. The utterance of the Seer of Tempe was followed by howls of pleased surprise. MT Hay den had succeeded in doing what nc man had ever done before; he had given joy to both factions at the same | instant and in the same sentence. l.. k. Kruger was made secretary of the convention. MT. Kruger was not over
 taken by surprise for he had a pencil
 n his hand and paper pad under his
 arm, awaiting the bugle call to duty. | gc was one of the products Of the | JcfCrsonian caucus.
 Motions were made for the appoint ment of the usual committees on ere
 dentials, permanent organization ani
 oider of business and platform and l resolutions. As soon as these motions | haG been carried. Vernon l.. Clark who | is usually cool headed made mistake
 though a not fatal one. He moved trat
 q recess of one hour .e taken that the committee on credentials might pre- | pare is report There was a howl of
 derision among the young democrats. IL was so well understood by MT. Clark, who would be the mem
 bers of the committees that in
 moment of forgetfufness he believ-
 ed they had already been formally named. He withdrew his motion and
 the committees were appointed as fol-
 lows:

 their future fate. They were not given
