get chance to speak. The chair had re-
fused to recognize men who wanted to
speak. There was a ring here and he pro-
tested against its running this convention.
AS he proceeded to denounce the chair,
there was storm OF Kisses and the chair
raped the table to notify Mr.. Cochrane

nouncement from Robert Abrams, of Ev-
erett, saying that out of 3, 200 votes in and
around Everett all were for the Peoples
party except 26s. This statement electro
fed the assemblage as much as a favorable
election return.

and Mr.. Winsor and Mr.. Wilson seconded
Mr.. Thompson's nomination. The ballot
