and speak in general terms of some of
the issues. He made a strong argu-

the inconsistency of Mr.. Eldredge. Iie
wanted some one to ask Mr.. Eldredge,
when he comes around, how he would
vote, if elected. when it came to organ
izing the house. Would he vote for a

Mr.. Roberts. He was greeted with
hearty applause.
