A Factional Fight in the Ee

A BITTER FIGHT PRECIPITATED

Portland, April 4. The same dis
graceful fight which characterized the
Republican primaries laet Thursday is
being continued today at the county
convention which is now in session at
A. O. IT. W. hall. The convention is a
scene of confusion and wrangling and is
being presided over by two temporary
chairmen, Joseph Simon and G. H.
Carey. When the convention met at 10
o'clock the entrance to the hall was
guarded by deputy sheriffs and police
who permitted none but delegates to
enter. A large crowd gathered in the
street in front of the entrance where
they stood waiting for news from the in
side. When the convention was called
to order a fight for temporary chairman
between the Simon and anti-Simon men
"began. SimBn and Carey were both
named and were placed on the platform
by their adherents after a fierce struggle.
Mr. Simon, chairman of the county
central committee, was on hand at the
A. O. U. W. hall, some time before the
specified hour of 10 a. m., to exercise
his official duty of calling the convention
to order. Twelve minutes before the
hour, Charles H. Carey and a number
of chosen associates, in pursuance of a
pre-arranged plan, rushed on the plat
form for the purpose of taking forcible
possession. Mr. Simon was assaulted
by two or three persons and by violence
removed to the rear of the platform. A
scene of indescribable confusion followed.
Delegates jumped to their feet and
rushed to the rescue of Mr. Simon, and
a hand-to-hand struggle took place. The
shameful contest was protracted for sev
eral minutes, nntil both tides finally de
sisted, and most ofthe combatants retired.
Before the uproar had subsided, bow
ever, a delegate, in a loud voice, moved
that Mr. Carey be declared temporary
chairman, and the proposition was re
ceived with a storm of ayes by his ad
herents. Mr. Simon was likewise in
stalled as chairman by the taxpayers,
and thus the anomaly of a convention
with two chairmen Mr. Simon, the re
gular, and Mr. Carey, the usurper was
presented throughout several succeeding
hours.
The minority faction had on the floor
as delegates not only those from eeveral
wards who were regularly elected, but
contesting delegations from the second,
sixth and tenth wards. These occupied
chairs as regular delegates, and took
part in all proceedings. The rights of
these alleged delegates to seats on the
floor, if established would give the ml
nority faction a majority, and this is
precisely what it was desired by the ob
structionists to secure without recourse
to the nsual parliamentary procedure
When order was in a measure restored,
"and there had been a little chance for
conference between the contending dele
gates, Mr. Simon, with a view to har
mony offered to place the power to pass
on the credentials or tno convention in
the hands of a committee of three, one
member to be named by each faction,
and the third to be ex-United States At
torney-General George H. Williams.
This proposition appeared to meet the
approval of almost the entire convention ;
but Mr. Carey protested, declaring that
he was willing to make Judge Williams
temporary chairman and organize the
convention in the usual manner. Judge
Cary's purpose was clear. There were
rival delegations- present from the sec
ond, eixth and tenth wards. In accord
ance with the usual procedure, no dele
gates would be allowed to vote from
these wards, w hen the question of their
right to sit in the convention came up,
and a considerable part of the majority's
strength having been eliminated from
the contest, the control of the temporary
organization would be in the bands of
the Carey faction. It would be easy for
the minority, thus changed into a prac
tical working majority, to take the nom
ination of the committees on credentials,
permanent organization, and order of
business from the chairman, who would
tbns be a nonentity. But this pretty
scheme was unexpectedly blocked when
Judge Williams declared in most posi
tive terms that he would not accept un
less the convention unanimously called
upon him to do it. . There was, of couree,
no personal objections to Judge Williams
on the part of majority, but there wafl to
Carey's attempt to nee him in that man
ner. Mr. Simon's plan was insisted up
on by the majority as a fair and equit
able solution to the trouble. It was
agreed by them that Judge Williams'
decision should be final, and Judge Will
iams stated that he would act on the
committee on that condition. .The mi
nority, having called the names of Judge
Williams by which- toconjure peace, ap
peared to be placed in the position of be
ing required to accept this plan, and a
peaceful outcome of the trouble seemed
imminent. But Messrs. Carey, Hume,
Tanner and other obstructionists got to
gether, and quickly decided not to ac
cept, knowing that, if the question about
the disputed seats of delegates were sub
mitted on its merits, they would be left
without a leg to stand on.
Judge Carey to a questioner stated that
he had no objection to Mr. Williams for
the committee of three on credentials, if
its report would be submitted to the con
vention for action. This, of course,
would have left the conventionrecisely
where it started, inasmuch as no one
would be able to decide who was compe
tent to vote upon the report.
Having been defeated in its alleged offer
of compromise by Judge Williams' re
fusal to act as temporary chairman, the
minority continued to "hold the fort."
It made no new proposition, and rejected
all offers. Judcre Carey remained on the
platform and attempted to divide with
Chairman Simon the privilege of stating
motions and declaring them carried or
lost. The farce proceeded until the
Carey faction, assuming to act for the
convention, appointed a committee on
credentials, and similar action was taken
by the majority, and the committee was
appointed by Chairman Simon. These
committees hastily made the reports,
and the absurd spectacle then followed
of the two secretaries of the committees
reading them simultaneously. Then the
Carey faction proceeded to nominate a
list of delegates to the state convention
The list was read and ratified by the
minority, and. this business being con
cluded, one of the minority moved to ad
journ, and Judge Carey resumed to de
clare the convention adjourned till Mon
day, and the minority, with the contest
ing delegates,' walked out, and the bur
leeque was over.
The number of regular delegates who
walked out was 45. They were dele
gates from the third, seventh, part of
the eighth, the ninth and eleventh
wards. The majority, 78 in number,
remained and proceeded with business
in an orderly manner. The disorderly
element being removed, the work of the
convention was completed with dispatch
Full city and county tickets were nom
inated, and strong resolutions, pledging
the members of the legislature to eco
nomical legislation, and the candidates
to consent to a reduction 6f salaries and
fees, were unanimously adopted.
