INDIANS CAUTIOUS
At ANNUAL OUTING
Cut Out Speechmaking to
Check Suspected Talks of
Incensed Candidates.

The Republican Indian League war
riors were in their glory on Saturday
| They held an outing and war dance
at the Olympic Park hunting grounds
and there was the smell of blood in
their air and many scalps to be won.
The war cloud hung heavy over the
grounds all the afternoon. Several
times it threatened to break out and
let loose It's imprisoned Vigor. And
the grand chiefs trembled. They
were scheduled to be victims.
A full-page advertisement in the
leagues outing program is the bone
of contention that has caused an up
roar which threatens to rend asunder
the serene ranks of the c. o. p.
The lad" was a sample ballot con-
tanning all the names OF the select few
whom Thomas p Alworth has taken
into his fold. 1t was alluded to as the
"Alworth ticket whereat the genial
Alworth smiled serenely.
Mr. Alworth is the guardian of the
excheqner for the Republican County
Committee. His name signed to a
collection of candidates headed The
following is list of Republican
candidates was like a bomb thrown
in the camps of the candidates who
were not mentioned in the exclusive
list They saw at glance that the
county organiza ton was behind the
listed candidates. and they at once
shouted that they had been double
crossed.
These "leftouts' held a grand pow
wow and council of war in the Ma
tional State Bank building Saturday
a noon, expressed their Indignation
and adjourned. hoping for an oppor-
tunity to strike back at the power
that be at the Indian outing in the
afternoon.
At the park there was much whis-
pering and shadowing. As soon as
copies of the Evening Star reached
the hunting grounds the regulars
knew what was brewing. The Star
had an exclusive account of the in
surgents meeting.
The regulars got together and de-
cided to watch the insurgents" as
they termed them. And they did.
Several times the insurgents tried
to hold confabs In one of the tents.
One of the listed candidates or his
scouts would come sauntering by, and
the deal would be off. After several
such attempts the Insurgents called
1t off for the day and fixed another
time to set in motion the wheels of
the preliminary fight against the
Inner circle"
AS last resort, one of the "insur-
gents" intended to have himself
selected as one of the speakers of the
evening. This became noised about,
and the eheads of the county COM
mittee powwowed with the other
chiefs of the tribe. The result was
that all speeches were Cancelled, The
regulars did not wish a challenge
issued They reasoned that one of
the insurgents was advocating
special meeting of the county COM
mittee to debate the action of the
'inners.' Only one of four scheduled
speakers appeared at the outing.
There were games and races and
boxing bouts but undermining every
event was the excitement of the
seemingly impending outburst. The
insurgents" hung around in little
groups and the regulars logged
them in still smaller groups.
An event not down on the program
was a guessing match as to the num-
Der of beans In a globe. A gold watch
was the prize offered the winner
Former Assemblyman William Rob
ertS won, coming within three OF the
number
Grand Sachem John B. Woelston
made a humorous speech in present
ing the watch to Roberts. The latter,
replying, got the crowd laughing and
applauding.
''rhey can never say again that I
don't know BEANS" declared Roberts
"Now, I'll make another winning
guess. and it is that Harry B. O'Con-
nell will get the nomination for
sheriff.
