night. at which Clover. OF Kansas, and McKeig-
han, OF Nebraska. locked horns on several ques-

proposed resolution providing that the eight
Alliance members vote as q unit which was
earnestly opposed by McKeighan. and finally de-
feated. Then Clover proposed an amended sub
treasury bill, and asked for its Endorsement by
all present. The bill provided that the federal
government shall loan money 10 county commis-

scheme. The bill was not Endorsed.
