After Indorsing Joseph H. Leatherman Pauls Valley Delegation was to be Soon Open
Obliged to Frustrate His Ambiton.
Henry M. Carr Lays Upon No
Bed of Roses as Nominee
of Republicans.
There were some surprises in yester-
day's republican convention, and the
adherents ef the party are still talking
about them. The forced withdrawal
of Joseph H. Leatherman was by no
means relished by many of the local
stalwarts. Mr. Leatherman was in-
dorsed for the nomination by the
Pauls Valley delegation before the
convention convened, and it was un-
derstood that he was the candidate for
whom the local delegates would con-
tend. Then lutie Civet and Antioch
and Walker townships came forward
with their defi. "No man who is con
nected with the present federal rule in
the territory can be our nominee" was
in substance t h e declaration—and
then there was a scattering.
For hours the elements of the party
sought to get together. Consultations
were frequent, and every man was a
medicine maker. Finally it became
apparent that the Pauls Valley dele-
gation was badly split upon the ques-
tion of supporting the man it had in-
dorsed. That brought forth a new
deal, and another caucus. In the
second gathering Mr. Leatherman an-
nounced his withdrawal, and then came
the fight all over again.
Some of the Pauls Valley delegates
wanted to go elsewhere for a candidate.
The name of W. A. Poffenburger of
Paoli was mentioned, and when it be-
came known that he was a banker,
young, energetic, liberal and able there
was a strong movement in his direction.
But his name was sprung just a little
too late, and in caucus the delegation
cast a majority of its votes for Mr.
Can's cause.
The Stewart partisans said little, but
worked much, and when an expression
was voiced by any of them it was a
plea for nominating a farmer. "The
democrats are running a practical far-
I Henry M. Carr of Pauls Valley
was nominated by the republican con-
vention for delegate to the constitu-
tional convention-
The forcing of Joseph H. Leather-
man out of the race was a case of the
country dictating to the city. The
local delegation at this forenoon's cau-
cus endorsed him. The delegations
from Antioch, Civet and other outside
townships protested against him, saying
that no office holder could carry even
the republican strength. The Pauls
Valley delegates then decided to give
their votes to H. M. Carr.
The convention was to have met at
2 o'clock but owing to the differences
in the local delegation and the numer-
caucus it was 3:30 before T F. Ksk-
ridge,secretary of the county commit-
tee, called the convention to order.
Jas. Keller of Maysville was elected
chairman and Lon Fisher of Lindsay.
Secretary.
The committees were: A. Rennie,
Pauls Valley; R. H. Gransted, Erin
Springs; R. H. Baker, Lindsay: Or-
ganization. M. Henderson, Pauls
Valley; Geo. Guthrey, Antioch; Dan
Carpenter, Elmore. Platform: Mike
Conlan, Lindsay; M. Hawkins, El-
more; Jos. Leatherman, Pauls Valley;
J. S. McMillan. Pauls Valley; L De-
mory, Civet.
There was a good sprinkling of
color in the convention, and the negro
delegates were pleased when one ol
their number, Mr. McMttllen, was
named on the platform committee
The plat'orm is laudatory of all
things republican. The administra-
tion of U S. marshal Porter is indorsed
and Judge Dickerson also received
praise from the delegates.
The delegates commenced to gather
at an early hour and at 10 o'clock ev-
ery corner held its little group. Be-
ore the assembling of the convention
there was n ;.ch difference of opinion
among the stalwarts. Those from the
western and northern townships were
firm in their demands for the nomina-
tion of Stewa.t, and they found some
sympathizers in the local ranks.

The Farmers' warehouse will he
ready to receive cotton next Monday
Contractor Schuyler has about com-
pleted the big building, and has estab-
lished for himself a record for rapid
work-
The new warehouse is built of cor-
rugated iron and is as nearly fireproof
as it possibly could be constructed.
It is 100x100 feet in size and has an
immense storage capacity. It is locat-
ed immediately adjacent to the com
press and every convenience for un-
loading and handling the cotton is
being provided.
The manager for the warehouse will
be selected within a few days by the
Farmers Union, and it is understood
that the names of several prominent
members of the union are being con-
sidered.
The warehouse cost about $1500
which amount has been subscribed by
i local business men at the solicitation
1 of the Commercial club.
The opening of the new warehouse
will give this city another decided ad-
vantage in handling the cotton crop of
this district. The immense cotton
traffic has crowded every existing facil-
ity for handling it, and the additional
storage capacity of the new building
comes at a most opportune time

start out with a lawyer we'll be skinned

i spoke, receiving defeat with a sulky i
stolidity that brooked no good for the j
j nominee.
It fell to A. R. Hickam to place
! Mr. Carr's name before the convention ;
! and if Mr. Carr is really the kind of'
| man that Mr. Hickam pictured him he
J has no reason to serve in a hard work-

i Hickam's speech was eloquent, rhetor-1

Mr. Walker was not present to see
• himself th.own down by the conven-
' tion, on account of having been thrown
1 by a horse a few days ago. His
claims were set forth by T. F. Eskridge
| of Elmore who made his neat little
talk and sat down without naming his
man, but recovered h i s feet long
! enough to explain that Mi. Walker
j was a farmer and an honest man.
The Dixie ministrels, otherwise the
McKinley Republican Club of Pauls
Valley, sang its little sextette entitled
| "si* for Mistah Cirr" when the roll
■ was called and the shouting was over.
Mr Carr made a very able address
in accepting the unexpected honor
thus thrust upon him, and which he
had known of for some little time be-
fore being hit by it, and the delegates
cheered. Then they looked at the
portrait of President Roosevelt, the in-
trepid conqueror of San Juan, with its
emblazoned inscription. "We want
him again" and cheered some more,
and the convention was over.
The vote of the townships was as
follows:

Valley from Oklahoma City and has es-

several year' s residence here.
While a republican has very slight
chance of success, Mr. Carr's nomina-
tion is a goo.I one from a republican
standpoint, and ne may be expected to
provide some Interest in the campaign,
particularly if lie defends his party for
its sins of uniis.ion in territorial affairs.
The bolter in the local delegation
who voted against Henry M. Carr, was
Attorney H. M. Carr and he cast his
vote for his opponent.
After the convention the pipe of
peace was smoked, and as it passed

with the soothing weed.
