appoint a committee on credential
and one on platform, to consist of one
from each judicial district, and that
after the committees have been ap-
pointed the convention adjourn until
after dinner. This was carried.
AS nobody seemed to know how the
county was divided into judicial dis
tricts, Mr.. LaDue asked the privilege
of letting it be considered that he
meant legislative districts when he
said judicial. This was accepted, but
soon somebody happened to think that
this would make too large committees.
w. B. Davies moved to amend that
the chair appoint one from each judi
cial district and two at large. The
chair ruled this out of order.
Mr.. LaDue moved to reconsider his
own motion, but this received no
second.
Chas. O'Connor reached the same
point that Mr.. Davies tried to make,
by moving that two at large be added
to each committee. This was
carried, and one lawyer present
said that there were three judicial
districts in the congressional district,
and another lawyer said there were
four. The matter was solved by call
ing it four, but one district was un-
represented, and much trouble was eX-
perienced in fixing the boundaries of
the. districts, and valuable time
was lost.
Finally, after much consultation,
the chair appointed the following COM
mittees:
Credentials-D. J. Laird P. Kremer,
G. w. Schulz, - Andrews, e. P:
Bertrand.
Resolutions-P. f. Ryer, Us. Ham
mond, A. D. LaDue, w. L. Com
stock, o. Mason.
An adjournment was taken until
l 80 o'clock.
The local delegates hustled around
during the noon recess and got chairs
placed in the third story of the city
hall, and the convention met there at
two o'clock.
