that the delegates had been bought. He
said: 81 can fetch proof that this delega-
ton has been bought. 1t is a shame. I can
prove 1t. This looks more like a kangaroo
court than anything else" While Murphy
was talking several delegates called for
order. The chair raped. and ordered
Murphy to sit down and keep stlll, but II
did no good, and he finished his say about
the Doodle.
DR.. Ensor then asked the angry Second
warder II he or any of his friends had
bought or attempted to buy any delegates.
Murphy answered that Ensor was not in
tended when he made his charge. The chair
man then told Murphy that II he knew of
any one who had been bribed to vote for
Hrdlicka to lay the matter before officers
OF the law. Delegate Denny McLain of the
Fourth ward said: Nobody offered me
money. If he had would have taken it."
The laugh that followed put every one in a
good humor again and the work went on.
