P. +. Dunno moved to indefinitely post
pone. Sam Braunhart demanded a roll
call on this proposition.
The chairman stated il required seyentv-
five to call the roll. Delegate Meldon de-
manded a rollcal.
You are but one." said the chairman.
Rollcau was demanded from various
quarters OF the hall, most largely from the
gallery.

snail not consent to two rolls if | can
help 1t. consent to a rollcan," said MI
Dunno.
The motion to indefinitely postpone
has been withdrawn" said the chairman.
Not at ALL" said Mr.. Dunno, II con-
scented to rollcall merely"
Il did not ask your consent" was Chair
man Deuprey's sarcastic rejolnder. at
which the convention cheered
Mr.. Deupreylsaid he wanted to ascertain
whether seventy-ive wanted the rollcall.
Delegate Weller moved TO indefinitely
postpone the rOllcalL
lie was declared out of order, but fur-
Their trouble was averted by the withdrawal
OF the previous motion of the same tenor.
The chairman then read the resolution
offered by Delegate BrauBhart again, and
the rolleall was again demanded.
The chairman then ordered the calling of
the roll to proceed in order to ascertain If
there were seventy-ive members Of the con-
Vention who wanted rol1cau in the mat
ter. All who wanted a rolleall were TO rise
in their seats. ard those who did not should
remain in their seats.
Delegate Clunie attempted TO say how
the call should be conducted, but he was
suppressed by ringing clang of the chair
mans hammer upon the musical slab.
The secretary then proceeded to call the
roll In the Twenty eighth Assembly Dis
trict sixteen delegates announced them
selves as in favor OF the rollcall.
At this point the confusion in the con-
Venti0n and lobby was so great that the
chairman was obliged to sound out a ring
ing salvo of come-to- order sounds. When
order was restored and the Twenty-uinth
District was canvassed it was found that
there were fifteen delegates 10 favor of the
call.
The result of the canvass OF the 1hir-
tieth District was ten votes. and in the
Thirty-frst there were eighteen votes.
The Thiriy-second District brought out
fourteen votes. and il was more than
foregone conclusion that the calling of the
roll was the succeeding event.
In the middle of the cal ing of the Thirty
third District the required seyentv-fye
delegates was reached, and the chairman
stopped the roll-caling and announced
that the required number Of names had
been received to make the roll-cailing on
Delegate Braunhart's resolution a proper
proceeding.
"Now, proceed with the calling of the
roll" said Mr.. Deuprey sharply 10 the
secretary.

Chairman DeuIrey responded sharply,
and the galleries cheered.

Mr.. Deuprey.

the chairman. Clunie muttered The
sergeant-ai-arms approached and he sat
down. The chairman declared that he
would enforce order and tbat Delegate
Cunie would be treated just like any other

Clunie claimed the floor on a question
of privilege and began: 81 am a duly ac-
credited delegate 10 this convention. ]

single NE out by name and charge me
with what have not done"
He had got that far when Chairman

the sergeant-at-arms made him do so.
Cluuie got in a word or two more tefore
be sat down.
The rollcaII on the amendment to lay on
the table Sam BraunharPS motion was
then begun.
Several times during the rolIcall the
confusion among those who were in the
lobby was so great that Chairman Deu-
prey was Obliged to announce IN stentorian
tones that if order was not preserved sum-
mary measures would be taken to see that
it was.

tion to adjourn was in orier.
"a motion To- adjourn is always in order,
sir" said Chairman Deuprey.

The motion was put. The volume of
sound seemed about equal in the responses
of the "ayes' and noes" Chairman
Deuprey ruled that the motion was lost,
and the call of the roll went on.
A. A. Watkins. yice-president Of the
general committee, who sat back Of the
chairman, engaged in a little aside discus
sion with Mr.. Deuprey. in which be de-
clared that the chairman had erred in
ruling that a motion to adjourn was al
ways in order.
