applause quickly followed as other celeb
rites in Irish-American circles, such as
NJ. V. Cannon of Omaha aud Judge James
fitzgerald OF Cincinnati. lOomed into Wow.
Secretary John 2. Sutton caused a sensation
at the very outset. He had called the conven-
ton TO order. and when the cheering greeting
had apparently subsided proceeded to read
the call.
sUTToN's PLAIN TALK.
Secretary Sutton said the delegates had
come at their own expense in spite of q
hostile public opinion created by men he was
sorry from his heart 10 say were lrishmen.
but he urged them TO think only of their holy
cause and put 1t at once as it should be. on a
business plan. O'Neiii Ryan. or st Louis, was
introduced as temporary chairman of the
convention, and he promptly launched into
ringing address foreshad0wing the policy OF
the gathering. They were not there Mr.
Ryan said, 70 uphold any 80 tion or faction. but
were there he hoped 10 say TO tho Irish people
that when they presented strong and united
front, then and not till then should they re.
ceiye the moral and material support of the
Irish people in America. Only an aggressive
movement. independent of both English
parties could command the unstinted aid
from America that had been nobly given dur
ing the past ten years The chairrnan's strong
speech WAS punctuated throughout with en-
thusiastic cheers. The convention made
John Elannery. of Pittsburg. secretary.
The afternoon was spent discussing the re-
port of the committee on credentials and the
manner of appointing a committee on resolu-
tions. 1t was finally decided that State
delegations select their own committeeman,
and the convention adjourned until to-mor-
row morning
