MERRY WAR OVER DELEGATION
re THE STATE CONVENTION.
Much Heated OratOry in Which
Charges and DeniaIs Were
Flung Back and Forth.

One Of the warmest political meet

of the protest of adherents of Hon.
Thos. S. Fielder against the appoint

n. C. Pickett by Chairman Edwards

ed with a request signed by several
members asking him to call meet
ing of the committee for II o'clock
to consider the appointment of dele
gates ito the Macon convention.
At the last named hour a majority
of the committee and a number Of
citizens that filled the county court
room assembled, and the meeting
started off at once in a manner that
left no doubt of an interesting time
Chairman Edwards stated that he,
the secretary, H. A. Wilkinson, and
other members had been ignored,
that the call was irregular and he
would not give it his official sanction,
but would call a meeting for Friday
morning.
DR.. j. G. Dean, as spokesman for
those who were protesting against
the delegates who had been appoint
ed and were urging a meeting of the
committee, insisted that the entire
delegation should be supporters Of
Mr.. Fielder, who carried the county
for short term senator, and read a
letter from Mr.. Fielder in which he
protested against the appointment of
Hon. D. c. Pickett, and also one
from Judge n. E. Harris, the success
full candidate for governor. who had
sent a telegram to Chairman Ed
wards asking that Mr.. Pickett be ap-
pointed a delegate, in which he re-
Quested that the interest of the can
didate who carried the county for
senator should be looked after The
speaker said that no Slaton man
should be on the delegation, and gave
the governor a number of raps that
were applauded by his hearers.
Colonel H. A. Wilkinson followed
DR.. Dean and he said there was
nc cause for excitement or anger and
pleaded for a spirit of harmony. He
said that every one who had been
named to go to the state convention
was an honorable man, and that M.
Pickett and others would stand 10y
ally by Mr.. Fielder and every other
candidate who had carried Terrell
county
Prof J. H. Whitchard then arose
and declared that Terrell county
stood for progressive democracy, and
Joe Brown had been buried.
Here Mr.. Pickett secured the floor,
and charged that the opposition to
him did not come from Mr. Fielder,
but was instigated by people here
who were unfriendly to him. Re

The COMMITTEE WAS IN DEADLOCK
Took Four Ballots This Morning to
Elect Delegates.

When the committee reconvened
this morning every member was
present either in person or by proxy.
Mr. Pickett took the floor, and
after explaining why he had wished
to be sent to Macon as a delegate
withdrew his own name and nomi-
mated H. A. Wilkinson and S. d.
Hatcher. DR.. Dean put in nomina-
ton for delegates H. A. Petty and
j. H. Lewis, and for alternates w. A.
McLain, J. W. Tilley, w. L. Pace, W..
S. Thornton, A. w. Fleming, E. T.
Jordan and S. D. Bowman.
The vote was taken by roll call,
and the first ballot was a tie. Dr..
Dean challenged the right of Chair
man Edwards to vote and appealed
to the committee, but withdrew his
objection and two more ballots were
taken with the same result as the
first. On the fourth ballot Messrs.
Petty and Lewis were elected, re-
ceiving II and 10 votes respectively
to 9 each for Wilkinson and Hatcher.
The alternates were then elected by
reclamation.
C. VI. Harris read a resolution in
structing the delegates to vote on all
questions as a unit, and to vote and
work for T. S. Fielder for the short
term senatorship as long as his name
was before the convention and, in
the event of his withdrawal to vote
for Slaton. Before the resolution
was put to a vote a motion was
made to adjourn and carried 10 to 9.

Still After Murphy;
New Charge Against
Chicago Magnate

NEW YORK. Feb. 17.-If Joe Tink-
err will produce a cablegram which he
says he received from Charles Muir
ply, Who was In Europe when he
learned that the shortstop had been
sold to Brooklyn by Cincinnati for
$25 900. the National League men will
bring a charge of tampering against
the Cubs owner. When Tinker was
here the other day he said:
Murphy cabled me to have moth
ing to do with the Brooklyn club I'M
Ill l heard from him. 1t was clear
case of tampering with me and a Sc
rioms offense against organized base
ball.
The National League men, 1t is
said, will ask Tinker to produce the
cablegram IL he has il in his posses
sion. II not, he will be asked to get a
copy from the cable company There
is some doubt, however. as to Tinker's
real attitude toward Murphy, Organ
lied baseball men told a story yester-
day to the effect that several weeks
ago Tinker who was ready to desert
the Federals, named Murphy as the
man with whom to conduct the nego-
tiations, whereupon the matter was
dropped.

NEW YORK. Feb. 17.-The Ma
Y tional League, once the might
lest power in baseball, to-day
is on the brink of ACKNOWLEDGMENT
lied baseball, as it is constituted, at
present. is face to face with the pos
sibility Of dissolution. And the Fed
eral League to-day looms up as even
mightier foe for organized baseball
than did the American League back
in 1901, when it made its winning
fight on the National League.
Disciplined by it's own leaders, sub
iected to the merciless attacks of the
Federals and practically unsupported
by its American League allies, the
National League is in sorry plight
Not only have the Americans failed
to exert every effort TO help the Ma
tionals, but Ban johnson and his
aides have delivered the final crush
ing blow with their ultimatum:
"CET rid of Murphy! His actions
" not only are affecting the in
terests of the National League, but
our interests and the entire interests
of organized baseball as we'll Let
loose of Murphy or take the conse-
quences
And the consequences" in this in
stance seems to mean that unless
the National League accomplishes the
immediate firing of Murphy, the
American League will cut itself loose
from the Nationals and form a new
organization. The minor league or
CARNATIONS have enough confidence
in Ban Johnson to follow his lead
