The confusion continued, in spite Of the
efforts Of Chairman Root.
Records remarks could scarcely be
heard beyond the first row Of chairs.
Root said:

and jumped from his seat IN the front
row. He started toward the platform.
No man can say that I was improper
Iy elected and not have a fight on his
hands, cried the infuriated potato king
Mayor.

The remarks 10 which shank objected
was an insinuation that Indianapolis pri-
maries were nOtoriously unfair. Shank
was nominated in a city primary.

little difficulty now because quiet reign

II press home the charge that when a
man is indicted on the charge of fraud
and crookedness. that that man should
not be permitted to sit in judgment on
the charge. The conscience OF the Amer
lean people will revolt II we pack this
hall and nominate a man under these
and the great Republican
party will be injured thereby.
Judge Robert E. Morrison. Of Arizona,
