could be given that number. But the
| chair held that the report had been
| adopted and therefore it would take a
! motion to reconsider. After some spar
ring concerning the question, 0. w
| Moyle, chairman of the COMMITTEES
made a statement to the effect that he
| lived in the district and one delegate
was all it was entitled to. That settled
| it, and a motion to reconsider was vote
down and the convention proceeded 10
do business.
The delegates were apportioned as
will appear in the list selected. Prior to
the selection the delegates from Dis
trict Is declared it was not going to pay
the 80 cents per capita tax levied on it
for the expenses of the convention.
Several motions were sprung, one be
ing to the effect that the delegation
should be ruled out of the convention,
while Mr.. Sloan protested and moved
that no delegation be shut out because
of a rule of the committee, which the
convention had the power to suspend at
any time
This last suggestion brought Chair
man Lloyd to his feet with the state
ment that he had guaranteed the ex-
penses of the building and ne did not
want to be left with the account on his
hands.
