dences of success IN forcibly dragging. the
guard to the seat OF repentance for 1912
were not very strong.
Indeed, the night brought evidence of
more bitterness in some directions. Mayor
Bill Thompson's city payroll, headed by
a band that cost real money, invaded the
Moose precincts, where faithful crowd
was trying to sing 'Teddy's bear to the
accompaniment of a mechanical organ, and
drowned the barber shop quartet and the
faithful chorus Of delegates. 1t was rain
ing and the Moose were wet and In no
mood to be trihed with by any mere
favorite son.
Since the invasion was made in the name
of Sherman, and ostensibly for his boom.
the Moose sharpened their horns and rushed
across the street to the Congress Hotel
and broke into a Sherman seance, just by
way of reprisal. A Texas statesman of
the Moose camp slugged a Chicago city
employe. bringing the first claret of the
big contest. The Moose yelled and there
was starting point for some more har-
mony talk based upon the idea that IL
one really wants peace one must fight

Johnson held out the olive branch, the

that the Old Guard was In extremis, and
that all the machine now required was the
services of good, conscientious confessor,
Injured by long practice to hearing untoward
revelations of misspent lives.
In a nutshell, the Moose declared the big
stick had been swung over the old guard;
that It must now either take the Colonel
or take chances of running n more or less
favored son against two other candidates.
and that the nomination of the Colonel
