Tonopah bonanza. [volume] (Butler City [i.e. Butler], Nev.) 1901-1909, 1908-08-01

be turned over to the treasurer OF
the Democratic club of Tonopah.
Fifth: That the Nye County Dem
ocratic Central committee shall have
authority to leave the name of any
nominee off of the official ballot if
said nominee shall fail to pay the as
sessment hereinbefore provided for.
Bert Mcintosh Immediately upon
the secretary finishing reading of the
same scented trouble and moved that
it be taken up seriatim. Consider
able wrangling was INDUCED in and
on motion of a delegate whose name
was unknown and who announced
that the preamble didn't amount to
anything any way, consideration of
the first section was taken up.
George Thatcher said it was
against Democratic principles to have
gag rule and that it was the privilege
of any one to get into the ring and
run for office.
Chairman Smith here took a hand
and said the debts of the last cam
paign were not paid, w%hereupon
Thatcher responded and the chair
subsidized.
At this juncture Boss McFadden
saw a conflict impending and tried
to pour oil upon the troubled waters
and said he wanted everybody nomi-
mated at this "corkus."
j. ]. McQuillan was brief and to
the point. He arose in all his state
ly majesty and turning his Webster
ian countenance to the audience,
waved his arms and emitted the fol-
lowing: 1T must not; it shall not
prevail"
Mcintosh then took issue with
Scheld, who also had something to
say. Both gentlemen at this point
were making points of order which
were not sustained by the chair.
Key Pittman wanted principles
and not candidates, and thought that
any man had a right to go to the
convention. Each man should be
picked out, labeled and told to go on
his way and sin no more. In the
course of his remarks Mr.. Pittman
referred to the friends of Mcintosh,
whereupon Mcintosh, who is nothing
if not a parliamenterian, claimed the
floor upon a question of personal
privilege and proceeded to castigate
Mr.. Pittman to a fare-you-well.
AS the fourth section was reached,
in which every nominee was required
to pay $3.50 before he was placed
upon the official ballot, there was a
dead silence, save for a tune called
GO Chase Yourself" which was be-
ing played by the Tonopah brass
band while practicing next door.
A motion to adjourn was made
from 100 different threats at this
j~uncture, but the chairman of the
finance committee gave notice that
unless the $3.50 was deposited in the
hands of the chief of police before
Saturday night-bing for him-and
his name would not appear on the Of
ballot. The resolutions were
then adopted, including the preamble
a whole. An invitation was then
extended to the assembled Democrats
to append their names to the role of
the new Democratic club. The
audience held aloof until the speaker
explained that it wouldn't cost them
anything and then there was a mad
and everybody wanted to sign
at once.

ballot are as follows: H. c.
