about the other senatorial prop OF
the great state. They wanted some
mention made- of Foraker and they
were there to fight for 1t. Had each
member OF the committee on resolu-

the backbone. They weakened and
only the faithful trio stood TO the

sured Senator Hopkins that he Is

II VIII he remembered that some
weeks ago a peace pow WOW was
held In this city by the warning
factions in the Republican party
IN this congressional district and
after the pipe OF peace had been
passed around, 1t was announced
that all differences between the two
factions had been adjusted and that
from this time on the party would
be united. Wednesday was the first
demonstration OF the quality OF the
love which has been sworn, and TO
the one who attended the convention
and looked on, there was none OF the
love and devotion such as was ex-
pressed by Ruth when she said to
Naomi, "Whither thou goest, |
will go and where thou lodgest,
Will lodge" The spirit OF David
Shu oohaphah was dutlIely LdcklnS
although 1t had been all cooked and
primed that the Foraker fellows
were TO be given equal recognition
with the TAFT bunch on the commit
tees OF the convention and the num-
Der OF congressional committee was
TO be doubled in numbers, making
two from each county in order that
each faction might have a repre-
sentative and equal representation
In the district.
Everything apparently went all
right in the committees until the
committee on resolutions got togeth-
er to adopt the resolutions which
has previously been written and
sealed with the stamp OF approval
by the TAFT fellows. Then there
came the hitch. There were OF
course some Foraker men ON this
committee, TOR one from each coun-
ty had been manned for this arduous
task. Some OF the senator's fol-
lowers were weak bneed when II
came to the show down and would
not stand fire, but there were those
who had some ideas about the pro-
priety OF eliminating the senior
senator who has recently won fame
by standing out against the admin
istration in the Brownsville affair
and has made a determined. though
a loosing fight, for the colored sol
diers, and they were there. not
