No Arguments in Favor of Him
Against Taft Are Being
Used, Just Money.
DebOe's Men Act Illegally in
Two Counties.
HOW THEY CARRY GALLOWAY

No fercer struggle for control of
the Republican organization in the
First district has ever been witnessed
than the one scheduled to take place
In this city Wednesday afternoon. and
the preliminary skirmishes in the
counties Monday afternoon will see
big crowds present wherever the Npeo-
pie have a chance to express them
selves.
Nearly every county in the district
will come with a Taft delegation with
regular credentials, and in twelve of
those counties, all but Crittenden,
there will be contesting delegations,
so that Temporary Chairman w. J.
Deboe may have an opportunity to
arbitrarily throw out the Taft delega-
tions and seat those favoring Fair
banks.
In Graves and Galloway counties
the situation will be complicated.
Deboe, in his official call. which he
made without consulting the congress
sional district committeeman, stipu-
lated that mass conventions should be
held. But in Galloway county pre-
cinct chalrmen are certifying a list of
precinct delegates to a county dele
gate convention, without the pretense
of holding precinct conventions. A
regular mass convention will be held
Monday in conformity with Deboe's
call. and the sane will be done in
Graves county, where the chairman
has called a mass convention, and
James Happy, a Deboe man, has call
ed a rump delegate convention. If
Deboe does not recognize delegates
chosen according to his own official
call as published in the Livingston
Echo, he will have fight on his hands
all the way to the Chicago convention.
In McCracken County.
Adolph We'll, the well known whole
sale liquor dealer and Democrat, the
leader of the Fairbanks forces,
and George Andrecht, a liquor
man. who was a candidate for city
jailer against the late Samuel Beadles,
is the principal worker. He says he
will line up the ''colored vote" against
Taft. As he is confning his efforts
to the red light district, the better
element of the colored race is display
ing an inclination to unite with the
best white people to rebuke Mr.. And
recht.
Lots of money has been sent here.
as this district, holding its convention
far ahead of the others Of the state,
if it goes for Fairbanks, will be
pointed out as a break in the solid
south against Taft. No arguments
are being used in behalf of Mr.. Fair
banks candidacy, and here as else
where the result simply depends on
how well the good people of the coun-
ty turn out Monday afternoon at 1880
o'clock at the McCracken county
court house.
