Letting the People Rule
The strong-arm methods of the
«■ o. p. was laid bare to the world
Saturday at the republican county
convention. After G. W. lfobert-
son had been elected temporary
chairman he deliberately reached
into his pocket and took out a pre-
viously prepared list of committees.
Fiom this list he made his appoint-
ments
An hour or so after, one of Rob-
ertson's henchmen fcot up and said
"Mr. Chair-m-a-n, I move you sir,
that the chair appoint a committee
of five, whose duty it will be to go
out and select the delegates to the
state and congressional convention."
The motion was seconded and car-
ried with a whoop.
Then a delegate by the name of
Brady from the town of Haskell
arose and shouted. "M-is-ter Chair-
man?"
"Mr. Brady,"recognized the chair.
"Mr. Chairman," said Brady, "I
move that the chairman of that
committee that you intend to ap-
point, reach in his inside coat pock-
et, extract the list of delegates to
this conaention."
This brought jhouts of laughter,
but Robertson ruled the man from
Haskell whs out of order,—Times-
Democrat.
