The action of the convention In tax
ing the matter OF selecting the dele.
gates away from the men who came to
do it, created no little CONSERVATION
and revolt in the ranks. The country
republicans, in spite OF the rule that
has been In vogue for four years, keep
insisting that they are entitled to do
something besides sit in silence and
wait and listen, endorse" look pleas
ant and whoop it up for the machine.
and thus 1t came to pass that when
Monsieur Tincher and his committee
returned tOrepOrt, the country precincts
were thinned out and there were sever.
al disguised republicans In the will age.
The men who opposed the machine
methods desire to have 1t plainly under
stood, however, that they did not DO 1t
in opposition to Mr.. Chandler. No
fight was made on his candidacy. bnt
wanted the members of the conven
tion to elect the Delegates proceed
Ing which has not been permitted
in republican convention in this
county for four years. They say that
If the convention is shorn of that DOW
er it is useless to hold one at all and it
would have been better for the Medi-
cine Lodge ring to have named the del
egates without going through the for.
mality OF holding convention. Their
logic and argument is good but the
ring and the oficeholders own the par.
ty. Hence logic, argument and right
count for little when combatted by
might.
