the position that they had transact
ell the business of the convention
and the matter was settled.
1t was while the two ebairmen
were attempting to work that the
big contest was on. 1t is thus aptly
described by Mr.. Miller, who re-
turned from the convention yester-
day morning.
''If you can imagine, five humid
red people in one room, all shouting
and talking al once, two bands pla. :
ing, and two chalrmen attempting
to transact business, yon will have
an exact picture of the conven.ie n
in your minds"
The sheriff and city police were
called to quiet the disturbance and
were promptly elected from the
building, by an angry lot of dele
gates who preferred to settle their
own differences.
As soon as the Perky crowd had
named their delegates they adjourn
ed and refused to go into convention
again stating that the work of the
convention was completed. The
Dubois followers held another con-
vention that evening and elected a
different set Of delegates and adopt
ed platform. George Erb of
Lewiston, an antI-Dubois man was
practically the only one who stayed
for the night session. He fought
the Dubois program single handed
and alone, but made little progress.
