The Glenwood post., 1912-08-03
Ticket After Many Sharp
Conflicts and Much Bad
Blood is Shown
Machine IN CONTROL

TAeS democratic machine of Garfield
countyi was well oiled last Saturday
and but for an occasional stick which
SONS bne thrust in the cogs, ran very
smoothly, so smoothly, in fact, that the
country fellows actually thought that
they were doing something, overlooking
the fact that the cards had already
been stacked by the Napier -Drach-
Barnsfi combination of Glenwood and
that thfre was little left for the coun-
try feliows to do but ratify the ma
chine aate.
G. D. Barnes was made chairman of
the assembly and he made good one,
carrying out the work for which he
was eected by the powers in way TO
win n many compliments from those
who aeed him in the chair.
Th@ first difference of consequence
was SEer the delegations to be select
ed toAhe various district and state as
semblies, one faction desiring to name
one 50 of delegates to all conventions
or assemblies while another element
thought the honor should be passed
around and different delegates selected
for eaah meeting. This provoked more
than hittle discussion, participated in
principally by Dinkel and Vagg who
'mixed<segeral times during the day.
At one time Dinkel expressed the hope
that Mr.. Vagg would be kind enough
to allow the democrats in the Carbon
dale section to say what they wanted
and that Vagg would not insist upon
telling them what they should have as
he did two years ago. Vagg retorted
by saying that since Dinkel failed to
get what he wanted two years ago It
was easy to see why he was sore.
The day was taken up with wrangles
of one kind or another and when ad-
journment was taken for supper the
convention had hardly begun to do bus.
