JUDGE LINDSEY HERE
Talked to Large Crowd of Boys
Sunday.

Judge Ben. b. Lindsey Of the
juvenile court in Denver, friend and
protector Of all the boys on earth,
was in Greeley Sunday and in the
afternoon addressed a whole church
full of boys and a few older people In
the First Presbyterian church.
1t was a talk for boys, told largely
in the language Of the street gamins
of the city, and consisted Of short
stories illustrative OF the moral points
which the Judge desired to impart.
At the close OF the meeting in the
PRESBYTERIAN church Judge Lindsey
went to the Methodist church, where
he addressed girls meeting, which
mad in the meantime been entertain
ed by listening to Walter Struble of
Chicago, organizer OF the Anti-Cig-
arctic league. Following Judge
Lindsey at the boys meeting Mr.,
Struble addressed the youngsters,
many Of whom he had last week or
ganized as branch Of the league.
In the evening Judge Lindsey
spoke TO the Older people in the Pres
byterian and Methodist churches.

moment was the outcome in doubt.
He was also elected chairman OF the
committee by vote OF l3419 to Bay
The opposition to Churchill on the
floor of the convention was lead by
Il. N. Haynes and ex-senator j. W..
McCreery, and while they succeeded
in creating some enthusiasm and in.
fusing a little life into the program
that was otherwise made out before
the convention met, il had no effect
on the final result. The sO-called
regular organization carried every
thing.
At 10 O'Clock the convention was
called to order by Charles Davis Of
Erie, acting chairman OF The county
committee in the absence of Judge
l.. B. Willard. The call of the con-
vention was read by Secretary Eugene
Absott. for the nomination OF twenty
delegates 10 the state convention that
meets in Denver May 6, and for an
equal number of delegates to the con-
gressional convention that meets
there the same date, and for the
election Of a chairman Of the county
committee and chairmen OF the var
ious precinct committees. Had it
not been for that clause about the
election of a new chairman the whole
affair would have passed oil as pleas
aptIy as a Sunday school picnic. But
it didn't, and that is why the thing
is worth story.
Fl. n. Haynes nominated j. S.
McClave of Patteville for temporary
chairman. Fl. f. Churchill nomi-
mated Ebert C. Smith. Mr.. McClave
declined to act even IL elected, so
upon motion Of Harvey English the
secretary was instructed to cast the
vote CT the convention for Smith.
This was carried. G. G. Townsend
nominated Eugene Abbott for tenn
porary secretary Of the convention,
with Z. Fl. Harrison assistant. They
were elected by acclamation, and the
Temporary organization afterward
made permanent. Churchill then
moved for the appointment OF com.
mittee of five on credentials, a COM
mittee of five on resolutions, COM
mittee OF FIVE for the selection Of
twenty delegates each to the state
and congressional conventions. These
committees were:

Saturday niphl. because that was the
regular night for the primaries.
The report created considerable
controversy and the yeas and nays
were called for by precincts. There
was, however. an almost unanimous
vote in favor o: seating the Nordell
delegation, and before the two-thirds
of the precincts were called P. A..
Tisde made motion to seat the
other delegation. This ended the
wrangle.
The committee on credentials,
which had also been made committee
on rules and order OF business, as an
afterthought, reported the selection
Of a county committee chairman as
last on the order Of business. The
calm Of the convention was then dis
turbed by II n. HAYNES making a
motion that The clause referring to
the election of the county chairman
and committee members be stricken
from the order of business altogether.
He argued that there was 10 prece-
dence for the changing Of chairman
at this time. who had only been
chosen to the position last fall, and
that so long as no charges OF incapac-
ity or disloya!ty to the Republican
party could be charged against Judge
Willard he should be allowed to re-
main chairman until the fall conven-
tiop at least. He could see no pos
sibe reason for taking any action at
this time, and respectfully urged that
the convention vote down this un-
desirable change.
AS soon as Mr.. Haynes had fin
ished, Mr.. Churchill was on his feet
and gave some pertinent reasons why
a change should be made, and few
illustrations of what he termed prac-
tical politics. of which some heads in
Weld county were deplorably dehc-
lent. He said that il the committee
was not changed until at the fall
convention it would only have about
thirty DAYS before election in which
to organize and round up the voters.
"There are, he said, ''about 600
foreigners in the county who have
not taken out their naturalization

with the other work to be done 1t
would take the committee at least
four months OF steady work to have
the party ready for election. y

Ball.

A new base ball nine called the
Greeley Eagles has been organized

start out 1t looks as though they
were going to give the town AL ball.
Last Sunday they went to the Hazel.
ton school house and played nine
from that vicinity. The Eagles won
out by a score of to 3. But it was
the quality Of ball played that was
OF interest. Not run was made
until the last half OF the sixth in
ming, when one Of the Hazeltonians
got In one. The ice once broken, 1t
was no trouble for both sides to make
runs after that. The boys from the
city were particularly we'll pleased
with the manner in which they were
entertained during the shower.

The lively fight that had been
promised at the Republican county
convention held last Saturday, be-
tween the two factions represented
by Fl. f. Churchill and County Clerk
W. r. Adams respectively, turned
out to be rather tame affair after
all. On only one point and at only
one time was there any active oppo-

when it came to the selection of a

In Aid of the N. c. Homeless Children

Mrs Mary Boam, of Greensboro, is
in the city in the interest of the North
Carolina Children's Home Society,
and is stopping at the Capitol Inn.
The work of the society is to seek out
such homeless, neglected and desti-
tute children, and to become their
friend and protector.
To find homes for those that are
normal with worthy, Sabbath-keepins
families; to place them therein with
the least possible delay, and to visi'
them frequently after placement.
Mrs. Boam will solicit funds for
this worthy society while in the city.
