delegations stricken out Conger defended the
Com mlttee and an animated discussion arose be-
tween Conger, Logan and Raymond, of California,
Logan defending his record and denying the
charges of fraud made against the management of
, The Springfield Convention, and also saying that
IN issult had been offered to Illinois in question
ing the title of her delegates at large.
