THE MORNINGS WORK.
Clarence White S uldders at the
Roar of the Machine.

Roar of the Machine.
The convention resumed its rSork
yesterday morning at $3.50. The mem
bers struggled in after the hour sched-
uled for the convention to be called To
order. The hardness in starting was
also due to the fact that the report OF
the Committee ON Rules and Regula-
lions had not been printed as prom
Used. The report was to have been the
first order of business after the read
ing of the minutes, and its absence
caused the convention members to re-
sort to devious methods of killing time
until it was brought in.
Secretary Hendry began the reading
of the minutes which were voluminous,
including stenographic reports of
speeches and motions. There was a
whispered conversation among certain
members to defer the reading of the
full report as it delayed the other busl-
ness which the delegates were anxious
to get to work on. This was the cleo
ton Of alternate delegates. 1t was sug-
gested. however, that the reading OF
the full minutes was one way to kill
time.
Humphreys Criticized.
ing, A. S. Humphreys arose and criti-
.cized portion of the minutes in which
certain words were attributed to him
and which he declared were words sub
stituted for his own. He wished them
corrected. He then stated his exact
words of the evening before.
"Mr. Chairman" he said, Il arise to

to correct his minutes accordingly, and
Mr.. Humphreys sat. down appeased
Mr.. Achi and MIR. Loebenstein both
asked for minor corrections, and the
minutes were adopted.
White as a Shudderer.
Before the Convention could get
down to its routine Of work, c. N.
White of the Fourth District arose and
asked for privilege, as he too, had
something he wanted to say and which
he considered the delegates should
hear 1t was a complaint against the
Advertiser, and a childish desire to
square" himself on the floor OF the

and planting his feet firmly on the
floor. he said:
Gentlemen, We have had our little
differences Of opinions since the begin
ming of this Convention, but l think

our midst"
The word machine was dwelt upon {
with great emphasis.
"a machine, gentlemen. is something {
that Is tangible" he continued. 1T Is
a thing generated by steam or cleo
tricity, and has fixtures. Consequently
l went to the trouble of looking up in
the dictionary the word machine / I
looked up the word missionary too !
