committee be authorized to increase
its membership to a number not ex-
ceeding double its present size, one to
be selected from each county; and fur
Their. that they shall have authority
TO appoint such campaign and exeou-
tive committee as they in their judg-
ment may determine as being advan-
tageous TO the party interests
Lindsay r. Rogers Immediately
sought 10 bring up the resolution again
by moving that the rules be suspended
in order 10 allow the resolution to be
again placed before the convention.
Dallin and McCallum opposed the re-
consideration of the resolution When
put TO a vote the Thomas resolution
was made the order of business and the
proposition was taken UP. Booth of
Utah said the motion was out of order
and a hot colloquy occurred between
him and the chairman.
McCallum then made a speech in
which he spoke scathingly Of the author
of the resolutions. He said it was a di-
rect compromise with the boilers from
the party. 1T is a proposition" he
continued, TO give some boiling Re-
pubiicans one-half of the state commit
tee. If they are not Republicans they
are Democrats. This convention should
vote down all such propositions.
L
ply. Mr.. McCallum," he said may
be able to find a scheme in this, but 1
utterly deny that he speaks the truth
so far as l am concerned. We want
TO harmonic the factions SO that we
can elect a congressman and later a
senator. If there is any honorable way
of making peace we should adopt it"
Dallin opposed the resolution. Il call
it a scheme" he said, whether Mr..
Thomas likes it or not, it is a scheme
to deliver over the party to the Bryan
DemOcratic-R Republicans" (Applause9
Sven o. Nelson then secured the floor
and held out the olive branch. He
thought it was necessary to harmonic.
Mr. AXton was the next to discharge
some fireworks. IF we are wrong, he
said. we should concede everything; if
we are right, we should concede moth
ing
John Lu Taylor next loomed up in the
hall and brandishing his arms said he
would leave the party if the resolution
were adopted. A H. Parsons could
not forgive the Bryan Republicans for
attempt to wrench McKinley's picture
from the platform at the late conven-
ton.
Charles Crane said it was a remark
able and preposterous proposition. He
said if it was necessary to elect Re
publican representative and senator he
would not turn back the pages of his
tory TO do it. He claimed that the
Democrats had in the past been the
enemies of silver.
R. II. Whipple and Harry McCallum
then took part in the row. McCallum
rated the Tribune severely ard said it
was sold over TO the Bryani.es.
They are all Democrats" he eX-
"a oh a xx-ac
applauded.
Whipple then proposed a substitute
for the Thomas resolution giving the
committee plenary powers.
Thomas Immediately withdrew his
motion in favor Of the Whipple amend
ment and after some more heated
wrangling in which Guthrie and others
took part, the amendment was put to a
vote. Amid a tumult of excitement it
was voted down. Someone immediate
" interposed a motion for adjournment
which passed almost unanimously. AS
the delegates were filing out Chairman
Brown announced that the state com
mittee would meet in one week from
Saturday.
