REPUBLICAN, CONVENTION
GETS LANNON'S SCALP

Chairman Hamilton at once began to
make a speech defending Hamon and
opposing instructing delegates to the
state convention. He thought Hamon
had done all right.
Mr.. Hamilton also predicted that
a ticket would be nominated and elect
ed and launched off into regular re-
publican harangue.
Mr.. Fechheimer then took the floor
in support Of his motion and proceed
ed to tell why Hamon should be told
to skidoo.
"Hamon has the sweIl-head," said
Mr.. Feehheimer; when he was elect
ed chairman he thought he was d
Car. He is weak and vaccilating and
doesn't know his own mind. The trou-
bic is that Oklahoma republicans are
afraid that Indian Territory will get
the bulge on them. There is bunch
in Oklahoma that doesn't want state
hood with Indian Territory. Hamon
belongs to this bunch with Bird Me
CURE and others. Oklahoma and In

The returns showed that Bailey had
won the nomination for district judge

He charged that he had been counted
out and asked that the committee
make a recount.

ever, and Lockett was asked for the
evidence upon which he based his
charges, he admitted that he had none
except rumor. q do not charge that

With no more evidence than this
the committee did not feel that Il

Wall Street Gamblers, Not the Ad.

Financial Conditions. No Cause
for Alarm. His Opinion of rionev
HOarderS.

LAFAYETTE, Ind, Nov. 19.-
William ]. Bryan received an enthu-
siastic welcome when he addressed
the members of the Jackson club, a
local democratic organization, at
their banquet, last night, where 700
plates were provided for.
Mr.. Bryan said that, after serving
in two campaigns, he did not feel like
volunteering again, although he
would accept the presidential nomi-
nation in 1908 1T drafted" He said
he was glad that the unprecedented
discovery of gold had taken the mon
ey question out of politics.
"But want you to know" said the
speaker, that our arguments on the
money question advanced in 1906
have been vindicated, not by the re-
publican party, but because God AL
mighty took pity on the poor people
of the world and opened up to them
vast stOrehouses of gold"
Mr.. Bryan denounced tariff revis.
ion as proposed by the republicans
and accused the republican party OF
bad faith in promising revision. "The
delay OF a single year means much
to the people of this country and they
are being defrauded out of hundreds
of millions Of dollars in the mean.
time. The people are ready to let the
democrats reform the tariff" assert.
ed Mr.. Bryan.
The, speaker declared that Presi.
dent Roosevelt should not be held re-
sponsible for the present financia
stringency. Mr.. Bryan placed the
blame.on the wall street gamblers. ,
II a.i not going to blame the presi,
dent or a republican administration
but know who would be blamed II
l were president" he said. IF
were president, every crossroads re.
publican would be blaming me. an
not going to blame the president be.
cause don't think blame should be
laid at his door. I am going to dc
him the justice to say that l won't
join the chorus of Eastern financiers
who want to make him the scape-
goat. Those who violate the law
should be blamed, not those who have
turned on the light recently.
"There is no excuse for the people
being afraid that their banks are not
solvent. What is the cause of this
trouble? The president Is not to
blame. Who is to blame? The re-
publican leaders who had control of
the country for forty-seven years.
They are so chained to Wall street
that when a Wall street gambler fails
our business world trembles all over
the country.
"The common people, and not the
Wall street gamblers, should handle
this situation. The man who will
draw out his money now, when he
does not need it, is in the same class
as the man who would refuse to aid
his country in time of war. This is
time when great patriotism is need
ed"
