was adopted.
Delegate Clunie grew angry and he tried
to claim the attention of the chair while
Braunhalt had the floor. He said he had
received promise from the chair at whose
request he gave way to allow business 10
proceed earlier in the evening. "You
won't listen to me while yuu will recognize
that little runt, Sammy Braunhart," he
yelled. -,
This gave rise to another: .outburst of
yells and laughter, which threw the con-
vention into temporary disorder. Tie
chair go: the house TO order and told
Clunie he should: apologize for such: Ian
guage, which was. disrespectfnl to the
chair. Clunle did the amende honorab le !.
But he insisted that the report of the com-::
mittee on organization be read and acted
on by the convention. :. -:

''hubbub". :
Chairman Deuprey stated his position
that he had already put the. motion. re-
garding the committee and he declared it
adopted. The delegates shouted. '.No!

Clunie called to the chair that the rules
had it that when seventy five men stand
and ask for rolicall it should be granted
by the chair. Dunno declared he had asked
the secretary about the matter, and was
informed the report Lad not heenad opted.
Then he leaped on the stage and demanded
a roIcall. asking for all delegates tc rise
who wanted rolcall.< AT least half the

been doing nothing but ''hopping around
like hen on a hot gliddle." He asked
that the chair see that the.secretaries at

James T. Smith explained that the con-
vention had been delayed for two weeks
by just such scenes and moved that it ad-

Clunie declared that he arose to a ques-
ton of privilege. that he was subjected TO
a most disgraceful Acknowledgement of his
rights. He again asked If the chair would
give rolcail On the appeal of seventy
FIVE delegates.
II the chair was satisfied that seventy
five duly accredited delegates asked for

these remarks were intended for Mr..
Clunie. to whom they were pertinent.
He would stay there all night. but no

into anything he did not believe was fair
or just. -
He held still that he had appointed the
committee under the report of the COM
mittee on permanent organization. and
order of business. Ii his action was not
right it could be changed by the County
Committee and State Central Committee.
Clunie moved that the convention ad-

no amendment could be made to Smiths
motion to adjourn sine die.
The convention finally got into tangle
