Arizona republican., 1906-09-18

in the morning. There were thirty
 self-elected members and ten onlook-
 CTS in the theater. After the appoint
 ment of the usual committees the
 delegates adjourned to the office of Judge AinswOrth to consider the more
 tragic details of the affair
 The matter 10 be mainly threshed
 out was whether a candidate for dele gate should be nominated. It was de- cided that a candidate could not be dispensed with. At 7 o'clock the friends of New Mexico and Mark Smith again found themselves in tha theater. IL was found that the com mittee on credentials had not only not denied any member a right to a seat but on the contrary had given the right to sit to a great many abscntees not represented and many of whom no doubt were not aware of the meet ing or its objects It was explained in this connection that the "conven- ton" desired to do things as differ ently as possible from the way they were done at the Bisbee convention. where it is charged exclusion and fla voritism was pTacticed.

 The committee on permanent or ganization and order of business rec commended that the permanent chair man be General T. F. Wilson, chair man of the joint statehood league, who had signed the call for the meeting and who had been temporary chair man: Dr. J. w. Foss was slated for secretary and D. NJ. Penny for assist ant secretary.
 The only difference of opinion was manifested when the report on the order of business was offered. The second section of it provided for the nomination of a candidate for delegate to congress. Thomas Armstrong, Jr.. offered an amendment to this section urging that there were several reasons why no nomination should be made. But one reason in his opinion was enough, and that was that by the time the delegate could take his seat there would be no seat for him.
