It would not be much OF a. surprise
if the common people, who are as
rule novices in the art of conducting
political conventions, should MAKE
few mistakes in parliamentary form.
That is rather to their credit than
otherwise, but when such old politl-
clans as John McReavy and others
who have long been in political life
conduct gathering with such lack OF
system and parliamentary usage as
occurred throughout last Saturdays
convention, it speaks little for their
observation.
