The president seems determined that
there shall be no more crowding on the
floor like there was during the suffrage
floor are taken he gives positive or
ders that no more ladies or others shall
be admitted.
George NJ. Cannon is the victim of
the latest and cruelist Joke. Members
tell the story that until within few
days Mrs. Cannon agreed with him on
his ardent championship of woman
suffrage. However. she heard the de-
bate on the question and now there
is secession. 1t is Mrs. Cannon
who is now convert of Rob
erts, and is as ardent an OPP
ponent of suffrage as her husband
is an advocate. Now Cannon is Won
dering whether it is better to be con-
sistent and vote for suffrage to the
end or keep harmony regnant by fol-
lowing the request Of Mrs. Cannon and

''Straws show which way the wind
blows" Whenever there is question
as to procedure on suffrage matters 1t
is not the Republican chairman or the
Republican suffragists who set the plan
of campaign. But they Immediately
appeal to Thurman and other Demo-
cratic leaders and let them conduct the
campaign. Where are the brains?
Farr says he is more of policy man
than a politician.
Evans says he would rather read his
own amendments when he has them in
his own handwriting. The secretary
does not object.
In the interest of classical English
the convention should adopt rule linn
iting the use of the word proposition"
The word is rather strong but it is
overworked. 1t is threatened with
quick consumption. Yesterday fore
noon it was used no less than fifty
times and then tn. observer grew tired
OF counting. Members ring the changes
in no less than dozen different ways.

Miller, of Sewer. is one of those ex-
plosive characters. When he jumps UP
hastily he goes off like a particularly
spiteful cannon cracker. When the
storm is over people are somewhat
afraid they have something dangerous
around. But Miller is not at all dan
gerous. One of his most explosive oc-
casions was simply over a request to
be excused.
President Smith-The transposition
will take place.
During the hot time over the cleo
tons bill President Smith saw he was
getting into deep water He hastily
called Varian to the chair. saying II
have suddenly been called away He
went out for a few moments. but re-
turned. 1t was noticed he did not again
take the chair until Varian had
Strengthened things out. He was I'M
doubtedly wise. for Varian was
stumped once or twice himself. Even
the efficiency of Assistant President
McGurrin could hardly have kept the
president from losing himself in the
parliamentary labyrinth.
The secretary still insists on reading
prohibition petitions in full. notWith-
standing every member of the conven-
ton has now learned the language of
the article almost by heart. There is a
chance here for the president to ex-
pedite business by sitting down on the
secretary.
AS the convention has settled its vot-
ers must reside sixty days in a precinct
before election" There is no distinc-
ton which makes the matter depend
on the registration day. That will be
a knotty problem for the legislature.
Thurman yesterday took a strong
shot at those who are endeavoring to
legislate in the constitution. Buys. of
Wasatch. was speaking fearfuliy of fu-
ture legislatures. when Thurman arose
to ask him a question.
do you think such a brainy body
of men will ever again assemble in the
state?" he asked: NauEhter)
Accommodating evidence points to
Thurman as the wit of the convention.
He speaks dryly and TO the point.
A question came up as to a certain
section yesterday and Varian asked:
''Will the president please state what
is the official status Of this section?"
The President-The secretary says it
has been reconsidered.
Varian (dryly)-Will the president
please state the official 60 status.
Richards probably did not know what
a calamity he was bringing on the
constitution when he introduced the
idea of prepared speeches.
Col. Trumbo was the observed of all
observers" while he was in the con-
