CHAS. ". FAIRBANKS
IS Turned DOWN
heShodlsts Refuse to Make Vice
President a Delegate.
THAT COCKTAIL INCIDENT bid IT.
Members of the Church Resent His
Position, of the Temperance Question,
@s He Is Alleged to Have Had Liquor
on His Table-The Vot3 for Him
Drops on Each Ballot Taken

Columbus, Ind. (Special) Charles
w. Fairbanks, vice president of the
United States, was defeated for dele
gate to the Quadrennial Conference
of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
which will be held in Baltimore next
May, tEfter one of the most bitter
contests that was ever weged in g.
religious assembly The temperance
llaymen, many OF them long associ-
ated with Mr.. Fairbanks in the
church, refused to condone what they
regard as an offense against temper
ance and the distinguished candi-
date went down in defeat because Of
having served cocktails and three
kinds of wine at the dinner given to
President Roosevelt on Memorial Day
at the Fairbanks home.
Up TO the meeting of the laymen's
convention it was supposed that Mr..
Fairbanks would be a sure winner
His friends had been very busy with
delegates during the conference, and
as far as surface indications showed,
there seemed to be general acquies-
cence in the desire to select him as
one of the quadrennial delegates
There were IS candidates for the
seven places, and 1T was given out
that the Vice President would lead
the delegation by being selected by
reclamation.
Early, however, the scene began to
change. Temperance 1aymen asserted
that it would be a shame to turn
down men of long and consistent
standing in the church, who aspired
to the honor, and give it to Fair
banks or anyone else over them by
onNlo q tfnn fhof ff hrrf "
that the ballot should be taken on
all candidates, and let each stand on
his own merits before the delegates
In the meantime two questions had
been discussed among the delegates
lOne objection was the serving of in
toxicants at the Fairbanks dinner,
and the other was the effort of some
of the Vice Presidents friends to put
the responsibility upon President
Roosevelt. Considerable feeling was
manifested over both incidents, and
when the laymen assembled the ap-
parent certainty of Mr.. Fairbanks
election had changed to a question
of his getting through even by a
slim margin.
The first fight came when the dele
gates refused by a decided vote to
permit the selection of Fairbanks by
then put in nomination. II required
81 votes to elect, and on the first
ballot two candidates were chosen.
Mr.. Fairbanks received but 70 votes.
On the second ballot two other
candidates were chosen and the Fair
'Itfn6s -VUte fell TO 65. On the third
ballot he received but 45 votes, on
the fourth Al votes and on the Hfth
80 votes. The constant falling off
in the Vice Presidents vote discourA
aged his friends, and who az -=NIt'
of the fifth ballot aS-<rnr0uhced his
name was withdrawn, a friend MAX
ing the statement that the Vice
President had not been a candidate
in any sense of the word, but his
friends thought it would be an honor
to him and the church TO send him
as a delegate to the Quadrennial Con-
ference.

place. This device dispenses with
hooks. sings and other lifting APP

energized and thereby attaches itself
to the bars, castings, scrap or pig
