CRABTREE GIVEN
SEVERE SHOCK
First Ward Councilman Will
Not Receive american"
denomination.
DECISION AT PRIMARIES
"PERSUADERS" APPARENTLY
HAVE BEST OF CONTEST.

The American" party played its
primaries last night. 1t played them
from o'clock until the chief persuader
got nearly ready to WELD the big stick.
SO late was it getting and so tiresOme
The American" party primaries were,
as had been expected, free from muir
ders or other rough-house plays. This
state of innocuous desuetude seemed
to be largely due to the presence of
many women in many districts. Why
this impression should have prevailed
is not easily understood, for the men
who were there acted as though they
never wore chaps nor bearded a Nor
mon in his den in their lives.
Being quiet and peaceabIe event, 1t
is only for the newspapers to tell the
tale. Councilman Crabtree, once upon
time, it appears conceived the notion
that because he was alderman from the
First ward, he was some squashes. He
wasn't. Last night the party with
which he is affiliated shut him out so
cold that a refrigerating car would be
of high temperature as compared to 4
banana ripening plant. Crabtree is
down and out, and he is down and out
because he wouldn't lay down to the
''persuaders." Everybody knows what
the penalty i'm the "persuaders' clan
is for those who do not as they are told
to do. huff sed. Crabtree is out He
bucked the hierach, which is. fin his
case, a bigger hierach than the hierarch
which the hierarch buster is going
after.
Crabtree Is Out.
Anyway, Crabtree is laid away in the
shade. The fellows who are looking for
his job on the American" party ticket
are-the most prominent of them-A. z.
Payne. Tom Holiday and Angus Nc
Kellar. The fight in the first. which
wasn't a fight at all, was the feature"
Of the American" party primaries.
In the Second ward there was trou-
bic and strife between Carter and some
of his enemies.
All told, the story of the American
party primaries rested on the fight
against Crabtree in the First, the
chastisement of whom ought to be am
pie in satisfaction for all of the faith
full.
The Americans" say that there is
not much advantage in last nights
primaries, with reference to council
men. In the First there is Payne. Hob
day and Mcclellan as the star attrac-
tions. In the Second the Americans
offer A. R. Carter. Louis J. Wood,
Gearge Raybould and John Dubei.
The Third has for the American
conventions in the council elections B.
A. ROdd, Sam Barlow. F. Johnson, z.
z. Rich, Tom d. Pitt, Thomas NJ. Mat
thews.
The Fourth comes to the front with
this group of aspirants: Frank Hines,
J. J. Stewart, DR.. ]. ]. Snyder, R. J.
Glendinning. George Whitaker, D. A.
Caffey, Gus H. VOegeler, Walter Lyon.

for the Americans" With him are 3.
Quinn. A. T. Moon. Mark ReedalI, Or.
c. 1. Douglas, Herman Bamberger, A.
Fred Wey. G. II. Blanchard.
At headwaters it was the declaration
of the chiefs who sat there that, so far
as they knew, none of the candidates
mentioned would have the advantage
over any other. but that all would win.
The result of last nights American
primaries with respect to city and ward
conventions, is as follows:
