a business trip TO the east; that he had
replied TO 1t and received no answer.
Before l left the city" said ,the chair
man, II met Mr. Howell and at that time
he did not suggest a primary, and It is
my impression from his conversation that
he then understood no primary would be
held. He asked me what my plan was
TO give places on this delegation to MEM
bers Of the Fontanelle club. l asked, If
the Fontanele club controlled what show
would they give the machine? He
shrugged his shoulders and walked away"
Howell tried to squlrm out OF the con-
versation, but admitted its main points.
He contended that he had asked when
the primary would be held and the chair
man replied he was waiting to see what
the socialists would do in their proposed
attempt to have the Dodge law declared
unconstitutional
Il said" asser ID Mr. Cowell, that
had delayed calling a meeting of the COM
mlttee, waiting the action of the courts"
In answer to ieers and interrogations
from the committee, Howell admitted he
might have shrugged his shoulders and
laughed"
Inconsistency of Antis shown Up.
Mr. Howell calls the proposed action
OF this committee revolutionary said
Victor Rosewater LAS far as that is con-
cerned, the whole Dodge law is revolution
ary. Mr.. Blackburn has just proposed
placing the selection of the delegates to
the state convention in the hands of one
man by letting Judge Dufie name them,
but now when we advocate letting a com
mittee OF our own members do the work,
making up the list from names submitted
by every member OF this committee, they
call II revolution
Mr. Blackburn and Mr.. Howell pretend
to be very eager to have q primary so the
rank and file may have a chance to select
these delegates, when they know that what
has prevented selection by primary is the
new law gotten up and put through by Mr..
Howells bosom friend Mr.. Dodge.
Last year Howell and his associates
went down 10 Lincoln with delegation
they controlled and tried to get the state
convention to throw us bodily out of the
state committee, although we were ap-
pointed for two years by a delegation that
had been, duly chosen at a primary. The
Z expressed wishes OF the rank and file didn't
COUNT then. We had another primary last
year and I'm which Howell was a defeated
candidate and the next thing we found him
running on the democratic ticket to beat
the republican nominee,
Fair Play Must BE Mutual.
He is for a primary when he carries IL
and against II when he loses. He wants
fair play for himself but never wants to
give It to any one else"
II just want TO add this: Judge Dufhe
has expressed himself satisfied with the
plan OF selecting delegates proposed. The
fact is. these speechmakers have been
talking simply for grandstand effect with
out regard to Judge DUNES interests. They
DO not want TO see the fair play they put
so much stress on, but are doing every
thing in their power to avoid receiving
fair play for fear they will be deprived OF
a lot Of political capital. They want to be
Kicked so they can go out and show the
dents and say. Sec what the terrible ma
chine has done TO us
Carl e. Herring made a plea for an In
Simultaneous standing vote to endorse Judge
Dufie and this was given unanimously
Mr.. Herring seemed TO fear that the com
mittee would not finish up it's business for
several weeks, and as he had something
else to do in the meantime. he wished tc
endorse Judge Dune when he had the
chance.
MIR. Blackburn Turned Down.
Blackburn made speeches Is II and l!
