a strong kick 90 the time. The execu.
tive committee Of she club reported
their slate at two minutes TO eight,
when there arose q row and there was
no chance 10 do anything before the
meeting was declared adjourned.
Nicc.president Klcmme nf the club
had tried 20 call another meeting right
after The other. but ii was realized that
IL was after eight o'clock and there
was no more time for nominations.
Particulars OF the Row.
Klemme got up 10 tell how a resolu.
ton, to the effect that prospective can.
didates for public Office could not be
nominated rs convention delegates, was
killed. Then there was harmony when
| the resolution was presented for the
executive committee Of the club to SO.

who voted for the resolution ad.
mitted Klemme 60 but / didn Z know I
was knocking my friend Cohen when
l did it. There was not dissenting
voice raised when the suggestion was
made to let the executive committee Sc.
/ lect the names. Nobody read the three
states which Kane laid on the table;
/ supposed the executive committee
would select the names from the names
appearing on those three states. That
was the understanding. Two of my
friends got beaten ont; they were Joe
Cohen and Jim Quinn, l got beaten.
1 should have known better.
Kane, who, though no officer, had
at the meeting usurped the dignity and
offices of president and secretary, quite
proudly told how he had gathered in
the written states and that they were
not read, and how he had suggested
that the executive committee be given
the power to draw up a slate, adding
that everything was done according to
the rules and nobody objected to his
resolution.
Cohen asked Kane if he remembered
how a certain slate had been referred
to on which were the names of Cohen
and Quinn and three others, and how
Cohen had protested to the railroading
of the executive slate without chance
for those who might want to protest.
Kane said the meeting had been fairly
conducted and the nominations had
4 closed when Cohen protested. Then
there had been a row and not much
could be heard anyway.
Klemme bobbed up again to say he
had learned his politics from Lorrin
Andrews and that he knew only clean
politics. He, Klemme, was satisfied
that he had been beaten under the
rules and he WASH going to squeal
any more. He advised other DIRECTORS
to take defeat as it had come.
Cohen spoke briefly, but forcibly, de-
claring that the placing of the states
4 on the table by Kane and his an
nouncement that there were three
slates,' clearly constituted putting the
names in nomination and that it was
plainly irregular ignoring such nomi-
nations. He had declared the action
Illegal but the row that followed and
the adjournment shut off all reasoning.
Cohen scored what he declared to be
sharp practises and schemes which
should have no place in fair politics.
The question in his mind, and what he
wished to learn from the Investigating
committee, was whether or not the five
names which had been eliminated from
The States were in nomination.
These FIVE names should be added to
the ballot in that precinct and voted
ON. 1t was outrageous that men who
had been the mainstays of the Repub-
lican party in that precinct should be
thus schemed out of their rights, cut
opt by sharp practises by men who as
much as said, "You are not smart
enough to train in our gang"
Cohen made motion to the effect that
the five names above referred to, name.
ly, j. c. Cohen, j. c. Quinn, Kakalia
LilikaIani and Nakila, be added to the
ballot. There was some discussion as
to whether or not the motion was in
order.
Protest outvoted
Il was decided as out of order and
Nakila then moved that the protest
under consideration be sustained.
= When tins motion was put to vote
it was lost, Beser, Fernandez anC
/ " Ntll NOllHR against sustaining bus
protest, while Nakila and Cohen voted
to sustain. Crawford and Crabble die
not vote, the president and the secre
: tary not voting unless in event of {
tie vote.
CTabbe, however, stated that if HI
u did vote he would vote against sus
5 tanning, for the reason that the min
utes of the meeting in the seventh
of the fourth, aud the evidence givel
, before the investigating committee, al
went to show that no objection ha(
been made to the resolution to leave
/ the selection of the nominees to the
executive committee of the club.
Crabbe went on to say, however
that for the good of the Republican
, party, he suggested that the exeeutiv
: county committee recommend that tn
, five names be put on the ballot, tina
the matter might be fought out a
I. the polls. 1t would help along haI
! mony, and harmony was very much t
q be desired; there was altogether to
:. much of this precinct wrangling. Ais
. he did not think it was the right kin
i of politics to delegate the powers 0
nomination to the elnb Is eNecutiv
y committee; it was not fair to let thre
