Col. Troy arose to help restore quiet,
but Mr.. McLaurin, turning to bim ex-
cited and provoked, said he asked no
man to get him bearing. He was s
democrat, a democratic Senator and
as such demanded hearing. Chair.
man Wilson finally appealed for order
and when quiet vas restored so he
could go On, Mr.. McLsurin said:
