Dell Calls Up His Substitute.
Mr.. Dell, of Oregon, called up his
on organization and it was
ruled out of order, as the other had |
been adopted by sections. Mr.. Dell /
promptly appealed. He said the plan
submitted by the committee ignored |
the most important feature in connec-
ton with the organization. The peo-
pie have not been considered. The |
delegates were present on the most |
important business of their life. They |
wanted to organize the silver sentiment /
of the west and. in fact, the people !
should be given a hearing. His plan |
would contemplate that idea. He read |
his plan and was interrupted several |
times by Governor Adams. Senator
Clark and Mr.. Borah, who Wanfed the |
reading to stop. After Mr.. Dell had |
argued his appeal it was defeated, only
himself and Mr.. Seaman, of Utah, Vot-
ng against the chair. Mr.. Dell then .
moved to lay the committees report |
On the table, but he received no sup
port.

This organization will be the only one
o which the people of thu west can
lppeal. The committee to be appointed
hould have sufficient advisory powers
10 all questions coming up in the west
'ould be settled by it. The conference
s important. 1t should make its
important Every plan
should be considered. The
delegates could not get together in
ong time to come. Their views are
veil worth taking. He was i'm favoS,
i hearing from Mr.. DELL
Should Enlist the People.
Mr.. Dell said he was pleased with
he remarks of Mr.. Jones. The mem
'ers are here for the purpose of or
yanization and to educate the people.
