not a democrat. Ho Is not only a
traitor to his party but a trultor to
his ward. " The mayor's objection was
ruled out of order , but the latter con-
tinned his objections during which ho
said things which Kauffman declared
ho would have to prove.
The balloting then started and great
precautions were taken by each side ,
Before two votes were cast , however ,
Mayor Friday and several regulars ob
jected that republicans were' In the
crowd and were about to cast their
votes. A heated discussion then followed -
lowed whether or not a republican
could vote In a democratic caucus. D.
Roes ' led the discussion , maintaining
that no ono could object to anyone in
the ward voting In the caucus who
would stand by the nominee for whom
ho voted. His claim was denied by
evoral and the discussion waxed warm
until relief came from the chair. A
vote was taken and everyone present
J
living In the First ward was allowed
to t cast a vote. There was a great mix-
up ti tt when each man crowded his way
through t the jam ( o the teller's hat
and deposited his vote. It was during
this rush that Councilman Verges ,
standing on a chair , discovered Con
stable Flynn writing on a ballot and
handing the slip to a voter. The coun
cilman came down quickly from his
perch , made his charge and then the
lie was passed , causing a great hubbub
which ended In the chairman's hoping
that no 111 feeling would be carried
out of the caucus.
Notwithstanding the contest in the
First ward , democrats attending the
other ward caucuses hurried through
their work and swelled the crowd
around the First ward excitement.
In ( ho Second ward C. II. Krahn
bad very little opposition. Others
withdrew in his favor and he was
later unanimously nominated as conn
cllmanic candidate. I' . J. Staafford
had no opposition for the same office
in the Third ward and John C. Koer-
her was unanimously nominated at
South Norfolk earlier in the evening.
The South Norfolk democrats came
to the city hall and took part In the
school board nomination in which F.
\V. Koerhor and II. C. Matrau were
nominated by acclamation. Matram
to suceed himself and Koerbor to fill
the unexpired term of John Welsh.
After the school board nominations
were made D. Roes made a heated
objection to what be termed "tho
high school taxes. " He objected to
the high cost of education in Norfolk
and declared that the time was coin
ing when the high school would bo
eliminated and more attention would
be given to the lower grades. He
declared it ills wish to see the time
when the high school would support L
itself. He declared that free educa-l
( ion should be given up to the eighth i
grade and tuition to the high school 1
should bo charged for. He was in
formed by Carl Wilde that politics i
could not change the present school I
system.
The central committee were author-
i/ed to fill any vacancies which may
occur.
