S REPORTED TO BE OF THE
STEAM ROLLER VARIETY In
HANDS OF ORGANIZATION

The Democratic convention held in
the court house last Saturday was not
very harmonious, but the steam roller
was used on the progressives so ef-
fectiveiy that only a few of their
protests were heard. The trouble
started when Barney Haughey filed
proxy to act for j.. C. Smith of Bay
field. If a machine man held the
proxy no objections would have been
raised but as Haughey has been fight
ing the machine he was promptly sat
upon. A few feeble Egotests weEsa
made against barring progfSS
from the fold, but the few men %ao
run the steam roller eliminated him
on the ground that proxy holder
must live in the same precinct with
the man who gives it.
Haughey says that if he had been
allowed to vote he would have moved
to amend the resolutions in way
that would bind the delegation from
La Plata county to vote for pro-
gressive delegation to Baltimore. But
it seems that would have interfered
with the gangs plan to nominate Har-
mon, so Haughey was squelched and
a delegation was sent to the state
convention instructed to vote for a
delegation that will favor Champ
Clark "as long as he has chance to
win, and then to use their own judg-
ment," which means of course they
will vote for Harmon. A. few of the
standpatters wanted to send an un-
instructed delegation. Dan Egger
shouted "Why should we instruct our
delegates?" "To keep them from
selling out" promptly answered by
stander. We will know what they
do on the Goth.
The following is list of the dele
gates, together with the vote of each:
B. B. Russell, go; Frank Rivers, CT;
George Gilbert, 6s; Taylor Maddox, 85;
George Goodman, So; P G. Ellis, 40;
e. A, Chubb, 80; Chas Conroy, go;
