be given later on. A motion to have
the reports Of the various state
divisions handed in to the sec
! rotary, instead Of Being read te
the convention, Was voted down
after considerable talk, and the
reports were read in alphabetical order,
showing what had been done for the T.
L. A. The report of the Colorado dele
CATION was a typical one in many re-
spects, and was full of choice Western
expressions, which caught the house.
When E. A. Isaacs made the report of
the Georgia delegation N. NJ. Uri. of
Illinois. interrupted him, and was most
beautifully sat down on. Mr.. Uri
dropped back into his seat with d. s. t.

Texas, made the report for that state.
Mr.. Stockton was the man who was ar
rested for acting as commercial trav-

prison and made the caSea test case,
with the result of knocking out the law
calling for the imposing of license.
He was received with thunders Of ap-
plause. II said that Jay Gould
controlled the railway traffic in Texas,
but that the Texas commercial travellers
were doing good work there and would
sooner or later knock Mr.. Gould out.

heartily by the whole convention. d.
K. Clink, of Illinois, after Mr.. Urls
benefit had subsidized, made an objection
to the resolution, urging that it was a
decidedly delicate question and had bet
ter be let alone. Smith, of Iowa, made a
pointed answer, holding thatTeXas must
be sustained. He was greeted by the
widest kind of cheering and waving of
hats and handkerchiefs. Mr.. Uri again
took the floor, and moved as an amend
ment that the whole matter be referred
to a committee. Some ten or fifteen
men tried to get the floor at once. and
motions and amendments flooded in
upon the chairman like applications for
relief at the poor Office in December.

clique or faction. What | do is for the
good of National t. p. A., and don't
want any man to say that l am working
for anything else"
Order was restored and number of
addresses followed, and the motion to
indorSe was almost unanimously car
ried. NJ. J. Foreman. of Illinois, when
the motion was carried, jumped to his
feet and excitedly demanded that the

of no particula interest to the outside
public, bui over which there were sew

When the question of how to raise funds
came up, it was decided to have a COM
mittee of one from each state division
appointed to devise plans to place the
association on sound financial footing.
After a wild siege a recess was taken
until a. N. to-day.
