the stage. As he did so Thomas Taggart,
smiling and happy looking, rose to his feet
the two men-the victor and the van
quished-shook hands with a will. The In

into shouts Of "Taggarti Taggart!

our shoulders to the wheel and take advan-
tage OF the opportunity TO wrest the city
from the present administration. We now
have one committee, one chairman and a
united Democratic party"
KERN HAD LEFT.
Then came the demand for Kern. Mr..
Kern had been in the hall early, but left
before the voting begun. Mr.. Tanning ex-
planned that he was absent. and called for
nominations for vice chairman. Henry
Warrum nominated Carl Won Hake. There
was other nomination, and he was
elected by reclamation.
The names of Edward B. Raub, Ira K.
Thayer, Henry Warrum, Frank p. Baker
and p. J. Ryan were proposed for score
tary, but all were Withdrawn except that
OF Raub. Mr.. Raub was elected by &C
clamation. He has been Keach's assistant
during the last six weeks.
Charles 4. Cox nominated DR.. Charles r.
Galloway, of the Second ward, which,
Judge Cox said. the Democrats hoped to
carry this fall" and DR.. Galloway was
elected without opposition. Edward III.
knight, who was placed in nomination for
treasurer, withdrew instantly.
The convention decided to nominate its
ticket by delegate convention, the dele
gates to be chosen in precinct primaries.
The motion was made by Henry Warrum,
but originally provided that this conven-
ton should be held the last Thursday in
June, but this portion OF the motion Mr..
Warrum withdrew. Mr.. Warrum's motion
that the chairman be authorized to fill all
vacancies on the city committee was
passed. The convention then adjourned.

CANDIDATES AND SORENESS
Chief Results of the Work of the
Democratic Precinct Convention.

The convention which elected Reach had
hardly adjourned before expressions of
soreness were heard from many of the
Kern men. They regarded the result as
turning them out Of doors and they ex-
pressed the noble sentiment that they
would go home and let Reach elect ''his'
ticket. Most of the Kern men are the
stripe that have been taking orders from
Taggart for years and they felt that they
could not well take them from Reach. Some
even went so far as to suggest that Reach
might nominate a whole ticket of gold
bugs and then elect it with his gang"
Beyond the expressions of this sort there
was not much said. but the Kern men
seemed prepared Even Taggart E. NJ.
Johnson and others left the convention be-
fore it was over. 1t is expected that the
revolt against Reach will crystalline early
in the week, when the workers are better
directed as to what to do.
BELL is OUT OF 1T.
Talk of candidates by all indicated that
Joseph E. Bell is out of the race for mayor
One of his close friends even went so far
as to say that Bell would not have been a
candidate for mayor even if Kern had
been elected. Just how this would have
happened he did not say, but it probably
meant that Dell WIS mere uSure-nedu
for the Taggart boom that was to follow
Kern's election. From this 1t seems clear
that Taggart was manipulating things,
with his own candidacy in view. Reach s
fight was against the machine and, being
successful precludes the possibility of the
machine pushing its candidate through, as
Reach will dominate the party.
Reach men declined to commit them
selves TO any candidate for mayor. The
names OF Evans Woollen. ]. Z. McCul-
Tough, Andrew Steffen, John W. Hoffman,
A. A McKain, Carl Won Hake, G. ]. Marott
and others were mentioned Holtzman
seemed to be most favored, because his
name has been linked with Keachs fight
from the beginning. Reach still says he
will not commit himself TO any candidate
and that the nominee must win the honor
independent of the organization.
Others predicted that Bell would be
brought into the fight and the strength
of his opposition so divided between other
candidates that he would win the nominal
ton. Others said John W. Kern would
later appear as the candidate
