The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1904-06-29

Warner, who was plainly disturbed un-
der the responsibility in which he had
been placed.
But what mode of procedure will
be adopted?" persisted the Dunn War
ner.
The chairmen who are present will
be recognized" was the response.
What delegates will you recognize
from the Third precinct of the Eighth
ward?" shouted Eli Warner, who had
mounted a chair that he might the bet
ter be heard and see what was going
on on the floor of the convention.
Cries of Out of ORDER" "Out of or
der" began to go up from the Collins
delegates in a chorus and it was evil
dent that there was to be split
E. S. Warner grew pale and his jaw
hardened into lines of rigidity. You
have read of and heard of a contest in
our sister state" he began, but the
completion of his sentence was drown
ed in howl from the Collins mob, and
as the yelling subsidized momentarily
Chairman Warner put the motion on
the demand for a roll call, and while
there were but comparatively few vot-
ing either in the affirmative or the neg
ative, he declared the motion carried.
Then he declared that his namesake
from the Seventh was out of order.
Eli Warner was yelling for recogni-
ton, and Oar Reese strobe down the
center aisle. Shaking his name, he
cried, I'VE do not propose to have any
bulldozing tactics here. 1 suggest that
Warner be allowed to continue his re-
marks"
Il was speaking on the question of a
roll CALI shouted Eli Warner.
The motion has been put and car
ried,' yelled Hitler Horton. 1--WE don't
propose to stand any bulldozing and
bluffing, either. We stand for fair play
in Republican convention" and at
the entrance into the game by Horton
the Collins men took on new life.
The Dunn men were insistent that
their point as to contested delegations
being permitted to vote on the tenn
porary organization should be upheld,
and Fenton G. Warner replied that the
question of contests would be passed
upon when they were reached in the
roll call.
Dunn Men Leave the Hall
Then came the action of the Dunn
men in leaving the convention hall.
With face bathed in perspiration, but
with determination imprinted in every
lineament, Eli S. Warner called on
his followers.
There is not a question that this list
is already made up by the city and
county organization" he shouted, as
he pointed with accusing finger at the
chairman of the city and county or
ganlzation. THE regularly elected
delegates to this convention will hold
regularly conducted convention at
Raudenbush's hail. and the Dunn del
egates began to move towards the hall
Pandemonium broke loose, bedlaln
became by comparison a summer re-
treat; frenzied strife gave way to mere
disorder, and the Collins men jeered
and shook their fists at the retiring

and Gen. ~Childs. was speaking. :
We are all Republicans he said.
and cries of Good. came from his
friends, the enemy eve have some

any member of our. party Greater
than the ambitions of any. man is the
welfare of the Republican party. This
convention is not assembled to confer
honors on any man, no matter how
distinguished he may be. Its purpose
Is careful elaboration and the selec-
ton of delegates. We can't afford to
make any mistake by taking any fierce
partisan spirit in this convention. Let
US proceed in the regular way. AS a
supporter of Dunn, / want all the dele
gates elected to the convention to have
seats in it, and participate in its de-
alterations. Rather than to have a fac
t1onal spirit control, rather than to see
the convention split; rather than to see
the Republican party jeopardized, let
us appeal to reason and the Republican
spirit and see that the convention is
controlled by those who have a right
by law to control it. / want the gem
tlemen who have retired from their
seats to resume them, and 1 want "A
ruling by the chair, not technical, but
one broad, generous and manly"
The Childs speech had resulted in a
number of disappearing Dunn dele
gates pauslng at the threshold of the
convention doors, but w. H. Lightner
set them on their way again.

deliberate emphasis, that the propo-
sitions advanced by Gen. Childs are
sound and correct, but would call the
attention of the convention to the fact
that we are acting in accordance with
our rights"
He reviewed the action SO far taken
and justified it by parliamentary prac-
tice. There is nothing else to do
tnan to read the roll call from the
roll. That roll was made up in the
regular way and they take exception
to that or what it may contain and
leave the hall. No action has been
taken and there is only one ground
for their leaving. They know they are
in the minority and want to start a
convention and get into some eonven-
tion.'
1t was the blow that severed the last
remaining tie between the rival fac
tons, but Fred Schiffmann remained
behind his delegates with a purpose.
He recited the incidents of the pre-
convention campaign, the heat it had
generated and said the first thing this
morning there had been a row. He
charged the organization, through its
chairman, with having fixed the roll
and asked how his faction was to
