Wins Oat Against the Field
&eliisn Aspirations
The young Republicans had Dinger Hermann routed and driven off the
field at Eugene.
His vote had run down to the thirties, and he left the convention with
the athy pallor of defeat on hla face.
Hit forces caucutsed and tried to decide on some candidate to throw
their votes to, a little before midnight.
For three hours the brilliant young leaders had things their own way
but played with their advantage too long.
' Gatch, Kelly and Vawter forces could have nominated at any time
could they have come together In any unselfish manner,
i Jackson county was willing to do this, and Vawter finally voluntarily
released his votes to go where they pleated, but too late.
J Lane county had left Hermann, and waa catting futile votes for Har
rft, but wat at last whipped back Into line. So were Benton and Polk.
Clackamas, at the final ballot, wat got Into line for Hermann, and
Eddy, of Tillamook, went on record with his five votes and turned the tide.
Then Dinger Hermann won, and had votes to tpare.
Following Is the detailed ttory of the fight, that was one of the most
remarkable In the history of pelitics:
