for the previous question:"
TIE chair felt constrained to admit
that such Il procedure would be irreg-
ular, and Mr.. Perkins went on to say
that he knew the question of choosing
a president had been canYaSsed for
weeks, and every delegate is prepared
to vote for his choice at once. IF they
are not, then they should not be en-
titled to vote here,'' he exclaimed.
The vote OH the previous question was
then put and carried, but Otter Tail in
sisted that a call should be taken, and
continued to address the convention,

Mr.. Hoskins, of Otter Tail, felt it his
right to dissent. He had another can

borg. and then he began to say that the
Alliance did not want for its president a
man who had voted TO reduce the Pa
ciiic railway mortgage One-half.
This was too much for Pat Rahilly.
| He sprang furiously toward the stage
| and yelled:
IA man who uses such language in this
convention should be hoOted out of the hall

Everybody was on his feet in twink

Meighen finally induced most of the
number to resume their seats, and Mr..
| HOskins proceeded.
"Gentlemen,' said he, cycling Rahilly. ''do
you want to hoot honest Alliance votes out
