STICKING TO L


time for the reason, as Teschemacher Of
Laramie suggested, that the journal was
a correct record of the proceedings OF Sat-
urday.
Later the convention committee irriga-
ton committee question was reopened.
The chair complied with the request OF
Frank of Crook, but held hat Irvine was
still out of order because Richards hav-
ing not qualified, was not a member OF
the convention. This led TO questioning
the membership of several standing com
mittees, names of absentees appearing on
the list. President Brown was frank to
say that he himself had made a mistake,
but said that in arranging the committees
he had almost been compelled to assign
absentees to places. In each instance it
was the belief that the members would
soon appear.
Frank of Crook moved that the names
of delegates who had not appeared be
stricken from tneicommittee list. He said
that two gentlemen of his county would
not be present during the session. Smith
OF Carbon strongly objected. The mo-
ton was not seconded.
COMMITTEES.
These gentlemen were named by the
committee on live stock interests and labor:
Frank of Crook. Irvine of Converse,
McCandlish of johnson, Sutherland of
Albany.
This is the membership of the new
committee on ordinance: Downey of AL
bany, Organ of Laramie, Harvey OF Con-
verse, Burdick of johnson, Potter of
Laramie, Menough of Sweetwater, Jones
of Uinta
