Tumtiltuous Convention
As usual, when there are so many
warring factions in a convention as
were at the Republican Convention
at Raleigh on Wednesday, the
tumult waged loud aud long. *lt
was first, lost and all the time a
Roosevelt house. Taft secured
about one hundred votes aud hnd
only one voice raised iu his behalf
that of Walter R. Henry
Tom Settle was frozen out be
cain-e he was a Taft delegate and
Mirion 3utlej» the "Sampson
Fes," was beaten until there was
not a hair left, Richmond Pearson
being the man who rode all over
the wily politician. Martin Coun
ty's vote (to its credit) went solid
fof Duncan against Butler leader
ship. Ztb Vanve Walser was in
glory l?nd for things went bis way
and that way nas to Teddy. John
M. More head alone was saved from
the agbtis and that by mere chance.
Things looked warlike all through
the convention ind threats of call
ing tbe police nvere ftfevle by Cum.

with a whoop and Butler down
with a thump. The "Big Four"
