Ratcliffe Takes Floor.

Committeeman John W. Ratcliffe, of Sugar Creek, then aaked for the floor, and offored a motion to glvo ViceChairman Rledo power to call a meeting two weeks from yesterday. "There Is ono ground regard lows of factions that we, an democrats, can •Bland on, and that Is safety. For the past two years wo have been torn Into shreds by factional fights. Unless we, as democrats, get together and bury our troubles and stick as a unit, we will

And tills court house empty of democrats. Of all things we want harmony. Wo am going towards certain destruction this afternoon If we rush this matter along. I was aroused from my slumbers at midnight last night and Informed of this mooting. This morning I conferred with as many of my ••onstltuenta as possible trying to got their Idea of what was best, ana harven't seen all of thein. "Most of the democrats In the county believe this meotlng has been called too hastily. Wa should give the democrats a chanco to think this matter over. I believe wo are doing thom an Injustice by rushing matters. 1 therefore offer you a motion to empower Vice Chairman Rledo to cnll a meotlng two weeks from today at this same placo and time for the purpose of electing ft county chairman, secretary and a treasurer."

Committeeman C.eorgo "TCvelo seconded the motion. Charles Batt. spoko in favor of the motion. IIo said:

Batt Is Heard.

'With all respect to the committeemen hero we must allow the members of the party tlrno to think this matter over. I bear no malice towards anyone, but it Is with the A'lew of the best Interests of the party In mind that I nm asking and urging you to withhold action on this matter until it has been given more thought. It is far better to tear the democratic party asunder for two weeks, and Harry Wallace has said such an action would, than to tear It so for two years. Wo want harmony in the ranks, and such hasty action as this will not bring harmony."

Clyde Randall then offered a suggestion that the motion was out of order because It was contrary to the call for the meeting. Chairman Hamrick ruled the question in order. A roll call vote on the question showed the motion was lost by a vote of 19 to 18. The roll call vote was as follows:

The seating of proxies was then taken up. William McKillop created an outburst of laughter when ho objected to the seating of Henry Gruessing on the grounds that he was holding an appointive office. Chairman Ilamriek asked McKillop If he was appointed by tho mayor. "No," said McKillop, "he appointed by tho board of public works, but tho mayor has the right to fire him."

McKillop was removed from tho city engineer's office by Mayor Gossoin and his answer brought forth an outburst of laughter.

Charles Batt objected to tho seating of Weldelo as a committeeman on tho grounds that he was holding a position to which he was appointed by Mayor Gossom. Chairman Hamrlok sustained tho objection, and Weldcle's seat was declared vacant. Batt also challenged Gossom on tho grounds that ho was appointed controller by former Mayor Roberts, and was now controller and acting mayor by virtue of Robert's Impeachment. Jlamrick said this brought up a flno point of law, but he would glvo Gossom the benefit of the doubt.

The seating of Committeeman Bowen was objected to by Harry Wallace, but. this objection was overruled. Wallace said Bowen was an assistant voad supervisor and was holding an appointive position.

John T. I/itshaw, who held the proxy of George Khrenhardt, former president of tho board of public works, was unseated by Chairman Hamrlck when It was said that Khrenhardt was In the federal prison at Beavonworth. The proxy hold by John Clare for Bd. J. Mercer was ruled out when Gear go Rvelo said Meroer had moved from the preiclnot. At the conclusion of the proxlos there were thirty-eight committeemen legally seated.

Rawley Nominated.

Henry Gruesslng then nominated Frank S. Rawloy for county chairman. George IDvelo nominated Jeff Walsh. The tabulated vote fr chairman follows:

For Frank Rawley—Henry Grufwslng, Bort Harris, Clarence Dorfmeyer, Frank B. Strlley, Harry Wallace, Jtunes H. Gossom, John Hlnes, S. M. Jordan, Ed. Morgan, John ITanley,

ley took charge of the meeting. Rawloy's Speech. "I want to thank you gentlemen for tho honor you have bestowed upon me," he said. "Wo are now going to work together to get a clean ticket In the field and bring success to tho Democratic party. Jeff Walsh is one of my bent, friends and I know he will put his shoulder to the wheel and help the party. And I know all of you will help, too."

Ono of tho delegates then p?aced the name of Frank Strlley In nomination for vice-president. Riede then arose and said: "I think this meeting was called by persons who haven't the best Interests of the party at heart. I believe it was called by a few designing and scheming politicians who want to get control of the political offices. want to say right now that I believe I am too big a man to be working in connection with such men, and tender my resignation as vice-chairman."

A motion was passed refusing to accept the resignation. Resolutions of thanks to Mr. Hamrick for his work were then passed and the meeting adjourned. Before tho adjournment, however, Mr. Rawley announced that nothing would be done at the present regarding the selection of committeemen to fill the vacancies, but that this matter would be taken up at nn early date.
