" ith Grand Rush

" ith q Grand Rush
Every mention of the name Of McKin-
ley in the resolutions fell fiat, but wher
the name of Senator Perkins came VI
the convention simply went wild with
enthusiasm. The delegates cheered and
then cheered again. 1t was plainly evi
dent that Senator Perkins had the con-
vention and that no power on earth
could defeat instructions for him.
After Chairman Danforth of the COM
mittee had concluded the reading of the
resolutions, Delegate Durham of the
second ward moved to strike out that
portion of them instructing for Senator
Perkins.
The motion was overwhelmingly de-
feated, being drowned in perfect
chorus of nays.
The resolutions as whole as present
ed by the committee were then adopted
E. A. Meserve was then called to the
chair and Captain Overton took much
needed rest, for he had steered the con-
vention through its critical period.
The important work of taking up a
collection of 81 from each delegate was
then taken up, and not until after s54S
had been gathered in was the work OF
the convention resumed.
W. f. Arthur of Pasadena moved that
the 81 assessment collected from the
delegates from the soldiers home be re-
funded. The convention did this with a
hurrah.
Several delegates from the soldiers
home precinct refused to accept the re-
mission, but it was unanimously given
them over their protest.
