at Dallas WOunu up lGS seCOnu
days work in a blaze of triumph
for the faction that was knocked
out at Houston two years ago.
The interest of the day conferred
in the reports of the committees on
rules and on resolutions.
The report of committee on rules
was received with whoop, except
the last clause, which left the ques-
ton of a "majority" or 'two-third"
vote to be decided by the conven-
ton.
No sooner was the permanent
chairman, Handy, seated than the
fun began, and dozen delegates
were on the floor yelling for recog-
milton. Beverly, of Collin county,
got the nod and moved that the
"maiority" rule be adopted, but
was not allowed to speak more
than two minutes, time" "time,"
being called all over the house.
Stewart, of Harris, followed for the
"two- third" rule and met the same.
The delegates wanted to vote not
to hear speeches, and forced down
all attempt to talk. Roll call was
finally ordered, baked twice, then
finished and result was majority
rule adopted 4Sl to 379. Dudley,
of Wooten, tried a gag Of three
successive majority ballots as ne
ccssary to a choice, but was showed
under 5l9 to 206.
