Arizona republican., 1908-10-07

seemed that the professor was de-
 sirous of making a public exhibition of the scalps he had just taken.
 Theodore T. Powers was nominated for probate judge by exclamation. He said that this office had been pursu- ing him ever since he had been in the county and now he had stopped to let it Overtake him. G. A. StreitZ was nominated for the office of county surveyor notwithstanding the warning of a friend that Mir. Stretz would not accept it. The committee will later be called upon to fill a vacancy.
 The convention now approached the really serious business before it, the nomination of two candidates for the board of supervisors. Four were placed before the convention, Supervisor Hoghe, former supervisors, A. Hun saker and T. \. Clanton and James T. Bone. There was some discussion of the rule established by the com mittee on order of business which stated that two candidates might be voted for, the winning contestants to receive at least ninety votes. It turn ed out later that there were two un- destandings of the rule as enunciated by Chairman Bell. After the balloting ard while the count was proceeding James Marian observed that many of the delegates had been indulging in that pleasant paStime known as single shooting" and called the at tention of the convention to it. He believed that the rule was that dele gates must vote for two candidates and fre- moved that the ballot be cast aside. A prolonged discussion ensued in which it was shown that no candi- dates vote could be increased by sin gle shooting" and that his friends had a right to give him any advantage they could It was pointed out that any delegate was within his rights to vote for as many candidates as he pleased provided he did not vote for more than two. still. a motion to re- ject the ballot prevailed and the sec ond ballot was taken. It produced no result except to show that Hoghe and Hunsaker were the high men though HOghe who received 75 votes was fif- teen short of the required number. A second ballot was similarly indecisive It was then long after six o'clock and word was received from Henry My CTS, the proprietor of the Third Av- enue theater, that he needed the theater and unless it was shortly vacated he would appear with Pro fess ROsskopf and throw the assem- bled democracy of the coutny into a hypnotic fit.
 THE LAST STRETCH.
  utes was taken. the convention to meet next in the district court room where the third ballot was taken. showing a gain of one vote for Hoghe. So the balloting proceeded to the seventh when Hoghe. who had once reached S7l5. lost a couple of votes. but on the eighth he passed the ninety mark and was declared the nominee.
 James T. Bone had passed out of the contest, his strength having fallen away to 20, and when Hoghe's nomi- nation had been effected Mir. Clanton announced his withdrawal from the fight and the nomination of Hun saker was made by exclamation.
 This style of balloting had shown one thing, and that was that if the contest from the beginning had been close it would not have been settled ! before election day, so that when the for four assemblymen |. were reached in order. the system was discarded and it was agreed that the four highest men should be de- clared the nominees.
 Next after the supervisoral fight came the nomination for the council ! Only the name of Eugene Brady l O'Neill was put before the conven- l tion, and the secretary was directed l to cast the vote of the convention | for him.
 For the assembly there were placed l in nomination Frank DeSouZa, F. NJ. l Avis, T. l.. Crook. J w. Crenshaw l James c. Goodwin, sam F. Webb ] and J. w. Woolf Under the new rule there could be but one ballot and the vote announced a little be- fore eleven o'clock showed that the high guns were DeSouza, Avis WoOlf and Webb. As soon as the tumult and the shouting died, the convention resolved itself into precinct delega- tions and chose candidates for jus tices of the peace and constables and finally selected a central committee of one member from each precinct and one for every seventy five votes or major fraction thereof for Mark Smith two years ago.
