 | The Chair-state your point of order.
 MT. English-I understood t-le chair to rule that a committee on platform and 1 resolutions could not be appointed until after the committee on credentials had reported to find out who were the members of this convention.
 The Cnair-That is correct.
 Mir. English-Is it not the same in this instance?
 1 The Chair-No. Because if we did not adopt an order of business we would never be able to hear from the committee on | credentials. IL is upon organization and order of business. which has to come up | and be passed upon before the committee on credentials.
 The Chair put the motion of MT. Afford of Tulare and it was carried by viva voce vote.
