Tha one topic of lntereat and argu
ment waa Statement No. 1. Tha Hod-
aon machine In private argument and
public declamation waxed warm In de
manding that the convention go on rec
ord flat-footed and without evaalon in
condemnation of the atatement and the
direct primary law. Othera more con
aervatlve argued for a plank In the
platform advising a Republican choice
pledge while the frlcnda of Statement
No. I atood steady on guard, not wish
ing to spin the convention, but ready
to battle for the principle.
C. M. Idleman, chairman of the cen
tral committee, called the con vent loh
to order. lie ststed In doing so that
this waa the first time a convention
had been called by the Republican
party In Oregon alnce the adoption of
the primary law by the lvglalaturo
and the people. He nald that th cen
tral committee believed It had the pow
er to call a convention for the purpose
of formulating a platform Of princi
ple, but at the aame time believed
that the aupreme power of the atate
reated in the peopla themaelvea.
The convention was called therefore
to expreaa a far aa In It power the
prlnclplea of the party, and no more.
Mr. Idleman said lie believed the dele
gate would look upon the situation In
that light, and would attempt to do
what waa right for the harmony and
beat Intereata of the party. He called
for nominations for temporary chairman.

Jame F. Kertchem waa flrat on hi

fraction of a second. Ha made one of
the old-time political nominating
speeches, holding his man up as a Re
publican In the days of Grant, of Lin

Beach awung into line with the nomi

crucible of populism In lfttt and had
come out 18 carats fine. He was a Re
publican, not on Bundaya alone, but on

Populism.
Then the nomln&tlnna wn rnaAA mnA
the wrangling began In earneat. Beach
maiaiea on a viva voce vote. Ben Sell

had considered that he was coming to a
Republican convention or he would not
have come. He did not know what
plans had been formulated to control
the convention, but he as a Republican
wanted to do things right.
Hodson wanted a rising vote. It waa
finally determined however to call the
roll of the precinct, allowing the dele

St. Petersburg, Feb. 19 The annual
mnrrlage marts In tha town of
Oachatak and Laytcheffk were held a
few day ago; brisk business 1 re
ported all around.
In the first named town nearly 200
early maidens were disposed of. They
arrived in the morning on sledges, at
tended by parenta ana relatives. After
the horses had been put up the old folks
left their promising offspring to them-
ae.ves the women to go to clfiirch, the
men to seek the diversions of the Inn.
At t o clock sharp, an la cuatomary,
the "Iftdlea' line" was formed Ht the '
Ihedral, and the row of pretty matdn,
atandlng aide by side, reached to the
town house. The boys passed up and
down the atreet examining every petti
coat in eight for a poaslble "affinity.
Needless to say, th girls were their
best. As an indication that they were

worae, each held In her hand a white
handkerchief adorned with flowera

but at the stroke of the clock a well-to-do
young farmer asked a girl In a
black sheepskin coat what her name
was, thus Indicating that negotiations
were to be opened. This first couple
then started for the church to seek out
"mother." When they returned to ob
tain the father' blessing, they were
considered already "half engaged." In
tbla caae the' old gentleman waa only
too willing to part with Olga, and soon
the whole family celebrated the be
trothal at the Inn. it waa after 12
o'clock when the last girl found a mate.
The remarkable part Is that not a single
young woman went home unengaged.
In the town of Lsytcheffka the mar
riage mart differ a In one respect, for
the girls do not place themselves on ex
hibition in rows, but march- up and
down the main street, six abreast, hold
ing each other by the hand and look
ing aa unconcerned aa they can man
age, while the male candidates for mar
riage line the guttera on both sides.
When a man sees a girl he wants, he
must follow her to tbe end of the
street and begin his courting when she
turns around for another promenade.
In thla town girls do not carry a hand
kerchief In their hands, hut attach It
to their head dress, allowing it to float
In tha wind. The Ruaalan marriage
mart Is so popular an Institution that
a certain factory In Moacow devotea all
or lta energlea to tne maaing oi nana
kerchiefs needed In tbe ceremony.
