The report of the committee OF
credentials was accepted and adopted
and the committee discharged
The committee on permanent organ
ization recommended that the tempo
rary organization be made permanent
and the recommendation was accepted
and adopted by the convention.
Chairman Flynn made short speecl
in which he thanked the delegates TO
the privilege and honor of presidin,
over their deliberations.
Before proceeding to make nomina
tions, George Staehle, ST., thought l
advisable to have committee on reso
buttons, consisting of one member from
each precinct represented, and hav
each delegation select its own member
He thought by proceeding in that wa.
the resolutions would better represen
the wishes of the convention than would
resolutions prepared by smaller com
mittee, and he moved the appointment
of such committee. There was nc
opposition to Mr.. Stsehle's motion and
q call of the roll for committeeman re-
suited as follows:
