One OF the spectacles OF the con-
wention was Pat" Keating, who came
as q Wilson delegate, standing in the
center of the convention hall, thank
ing the machine men for their courte-
GUS treatment The explanation OF
Keating's action is TO be found in the
fact that Heating has always con-
sidered himself with the organization
crowd, but the. machine men said he
had some grievance against Ed Hen
derson and went out and had himself
elected delegate TO the convention
as a Wilson supporter. The organiza-
tion did not put up any man against
Heating. The result was that Keat-
ing was graciously assimilated and
returned thanks when his name was
put down as delegate to the state
convention. But Il made the organ
ization leaders laugh.
The latter claim that p. j. Hayes,
who was at the convention apparent
ly as Wilson man, is also at heart
an organization man, but went TO the
convention as supporter OF the Jer-
sey governor, because he was sore at
some OF the organization leaders. They
put him on the committee on creden-
tials and smoothed out the wrinkles
In that direction. Hayes is rated by
the organization men as practical
politician. Wherever the Wilson fac
ton had made showing OF strength
along this line, the organization
quickly won them over. Ii spoke vol
umes for the careful work and expert
ence of such men as Judge Connolly
and John G. Nagel.
A remarkable fact about the con-
yention was that the remarks OF Don
NJ. Dickinson, a Wilson supporter,
drew forth more applause than any
other speech or incident during the
entire convention.
When the resolutions praising the
Jeffersonian principles were read, old
line Democrats grayely nodded their
heads in approval, and there was
some show OF applause. When Dick
inson stepped up on the platform
there was the first real demonstra-
ton of the entire convention. The
applause that greeted County Chair
man Eaman's remarks concerning
Roosevelt and Gov. Osborn was not
half that which greeted Dickinson.
The former cabinet member stated
his conviction that the party could
be swept to victory by nominating
one man he knew but would not NEIL
ton by name. Yet every one in the
audience knew that Dickinson meant
Wilson. A leader OF the organization
was asked later why Mr.. Dickinson
had not mentioned the name Of his
candidate.
ala. too diplomatic!" he replied.
"Mr. Dickinson Is an old stager at
the political game. He knew what
was taking place on the floor of thaS
convention and he knew better than
to mention the name of Gov. Wilson
before the machine organization OF
WAYNE county, because the machine
Is against Wilson"
This same organization leader
stated that Mr.. Dickinson had hot
been an active leader in tae Demo
cratic ranks since 1896, AMI, there.
