Purely Personal Points

Ben Goodrich, in his speech nominating
G. G. Wright, had to carry his candidate
from st. Petersburg to the city attorneys
office in the city hall. Chairman Trask
spent most of the afternoon in the front row.
while Izzy Dockweiler and Del Vale took
turns in running the convention. Mr..
Trask did make a speech nominating Frank
James for city attorney as "a man 80 years OF
age, of a strong constitution" and then the
ice man came in and filled the water cooler.
During the balloting for city attorney
Judge Wright clung to the reporters dais
and kept tally of the vote.
+. J. McGarry seconded Mr.. James NOM
ination in one of the strongest speeches of
the day.
w. f. Burbank could not resist the temp
tation which occurs to every one who has
anything to say about Wright to make his
little joke, by saying, "the best way to avoid
trouble, to keep from wrong, is to vote
Wright" The judge used to enjoy this
pun in the early years of his career, but it
is becoming little worn and wan.
Charles Wellborn, the son of the federal
Judge, made his political debut in fervid
speech seconding Frank Finlayson's nom-
nation for city attorney.
Jim Mellus loomed up in the hall, the
biggest man there.
1elfar Creighton occupied a front seat,
his mustache with him once more.
Editor Rice of the Graphic was among

ground that the new city charter did not
recognize the initiative and the referendum,
but placed too much power in the hands OF
the mayor.
Mr.. Waldron said he fully conceded with
the opinions expressed by the last speaker,
and said the adoption of that paragraph
would have tendency to mislead Populists
as to the real attitude of the party regard
ing the charter. Because of its failure to
recognize the fundamental principles of the
Peoples party it should be left without
party Endorsement; furthermore, it should
be fought vigorously from start to finish.
Mr.. Chapel considered that time was
being wasted, and moved that the para
graph be stricken from the platform. This
was ruled out of order, the paragraph being
then on the table. Mr.. O'Connor moved
that the paragraph be taken from the table.
Speaking to the question, Mr.. Moore op-
posed such action on the ground that few
vote regarding the charter, not having read
it.
After spirited debate on both sides of the
controversy, the previous question was
moved and carried, to take the paragraph
from the table, and the motion then required
upon the motion to strike out the portion
of the report relating to the city charter.
An amendment by Mr.. Moore, that Mr..
Baker be allowed ten minutes in which to
answer questions of Mr.. Waldron and Mr..
Severance, was lost, and the convention
voted to strike ont the Objectionable para
graph. This left the city charter without
