Mr.. Theodore Roosevelt, of New York,
favored the motion Of Mr.. Lodge, TWAS
not without precedent to put aside the
action Off committee. There were but
two delegates 10 the convention who held
seats in the national committee, and the
convention should not be governed in such
an important matter by the action
Of a body, of. outsiders. He
hoped that Mr.. Lynch would be elected
temporary chairman of the convention.
Mr.. Carr, Of Illinois, favored Clayton.
Mr.. Winston thought 5000, 900 colored
voters should receive some recognition,
such as the appointment of Lynch. Mr..
Reed, of Maryland, Mr.. Thurston, of
Nebraska, Benjamin, of Arkansas, also
spoke. The chairman quoted approving
ly the decision Of Senator Hoar in the
last convention TO the effect that in the
absence of any rule the method of taking
the cue must rest-in the sound discretion
of the chair Subject Of course to the ac-
ton of the convention). This was em-
phatically, he said, a convention of the
people aud every delegate had an un-
doubted right toa free expression of his
opinion and to have his vote recorded.

Lynch had 43l votes and was elected tenn

THE wILDEsr CONFUSION ENsUED.
The delegation rose in their seats, cheered,
swung hats and shouted. The spectators
joined in the demonstration. On motion
the vote was made unanimous. The
chairman appointed Powell Clayton, of
Arkansas, Ii. c. Lodge, of Massachusetts,,
and W.. II. Taft, of South Carolina, a
committee to escort Lynch to the chair.
As the committee appeared the applause
was hearty, and the feeling of disappoint-
ment seemed to disappear, Mr.. Lynch
made a good impression by his quiet and
modest demeanor. The chairman said
that he,had the honor and great pleasure
of presenting to the convention as its
temporary chairman the Hon. John A.
Lynch, of Mississippi. [Cheers.

ANENDIyG TIE LICENSE Rur

The House District committee have considered
the license bill as far al section IS, and have dis
cussed good many suggested amendments, but
this work Is not final It all. The committee are
going through the billas a guide to future work
upon 1t. 1t is defin1telyunderstood that the whole
Is to be gone over agan and reviewed. The sec
lions and amendments 81 far agreed to have been
approved informally, with the understanding that
they may be changed hereafter. With regard to
license and personal tax the committee seem to be
clearly In favor OF exenpting from taxation such
personal property as Is required to pay license
1hls win probably be Incorporated In the bill, as
members OF the committee say 1t would be Obvi-
ously unfair TO make aay class OF property pay
double taxation But, generally speaking, the fea-
lures or the bill cannot ,e known until the final re-
vision shall have been Completed.
