! Hawes. as chairman, called the roll of
| the delegates as soon the meeting was
! In order. The liberal number of proxies
/ among the forty-two votes soon became
| apparent The first objection came upon
! the proxies signed by Frank ]. c. Forster
| one on June 70 to Tom Barrett and an
| Eawes read a letter from Forster. in
| which the latter addressed Barrett, an
! nuuncing the withdrawal of his proxy and
the substitution OF one to Jenkins.
| When Halves ruled that the second
| proxy would be considered. Barrett arose
and declared the action a "high-handed
procedure" and demanded test vote OF
| the delegates. The question went over.
! however. until the roll call had been COM
| plCtCi.
Then Hawes. in the person of Thomas
| SCully of the Twenty-scventh Ward,
| whose proxy he held. moved that nomna-
| tions for delegates from the Eleventh to
the National Convention be limited to men
| who have made their residence in st. :.
! Louis for at least six months. This. Of
| course, was aimed Mt Phelps.
In the vote 1t proved that Phelps con-
trolled two votes in the Second Ward. five
from the Third, six from the sixteenth,
| three from the Seventeenth and one from
the Twentieth. The result in the motion
settled the fight, and the nominations then
| became merely routine.
HAWES AND FITZGIBBON
CHOSEN BY ACCLAMATION.
Harry B. Hawes and p. r. F1tzGlbbon
tion. William H. Musick and James H.
Lee were made alternatcs.
Interest in other district caucuses CEN
tered in the Jasper, or the Fifteenth, dis
! triCt, the Fourteenth, and the Kansas
City. The Phelps contingent i'll the
Fifteenth has been laboring persistently
to put Gilbert Barbee out of business. As
that House of Lords" The latter is a
saloon and alleged gambling establish
ment of Joplin.
As the Phelps influences associating
with the Folk movement carried all the
counties of the district except Jasper. a
majority in the district delegation would

found the Phelps fellows eleven in the

SHANNON FACTION ELECTS
WALSH DELEGATE.
The jackson County fight lay between
the Shannon and the Reed followers with
their relative strength in the delegation
doubtful. Joe Shannon has been one of the
busiest men In Joplin the last twenty-four
hours. and that Is saying a good deal. and
the gossip adds that Shannon is a most
artful manipulation. However tnat may
be, he came out winner here in his dele
CATION by six votes. The Shannon men
nominated Frank p. Walsh for district
delegate and the opponents backed Robert
y
WalSh'S favor. Joseph b. MCGOWAN was
named as the second delegate to the Ma
tiCnal Convention.
In the Fourteenth, Folk men, headed by
Nandiver, endeavored to capture the
Fourteenths member of the Committee on
Greece tntials. backing Judge w. n. Evans
against State Committeeman Conran.
Judge Evans and Conran withdrew, but it
was left to Conran to name the commit
teeman, and he designated S. q. Harri- |
son of Dunkiin County.
