Butler adjourned the convention until

There was an exciting dispute between
Senator Butler ami Congressman Harry
skinner, permanent chairman. Skinner
attacked the nominations CT the new CEN
trdi Committee, ~ ring three were Buffers
creatures. He said:
DO You propose to follow Butler hlindly
on all occasions. or course you will do
it. Butter wishes to retire every intluen initial
man We must lot be absolutely dom mated
by one man"
Butler replied IN a singing style, ST wing
he would not suffer such dirt irsnua-
lions upon his integrity and was ready to
compare characters and epithc; wlin any
man in the convention He had dc.ermIced,
no matter IL there were slurs. insnuations
abuse and rotten eggs, never to lose iIis
head He said Skinner had not spokca

his creatures.
Il end my work in this State now; 1

The Atlantic to the Pacific; from the lakes
to the gulf"
Skinner, rising to personal priv ilege,
said: III Butler meant to say. or cared
to sayl had told an untruth about anything
wewill have aquicl da yofmeetin- meant
to say we were selecting committee

leader.
Il tell YOU he is party wrecker.
He made our party a harlot at st. Louis
and here in North Carolina we are q
hariot between two parties.''
Then Skinner suddenly and strongly
moved to elect the committee by ac-
camation. 1t was done, and Hal W. yer.

Butler was given three cheers. His
mastery of all opposition yesterday and
