excited about government without the

a time. not far away. when Sam Hale
was willing to do little governing for
his Uncle Samuel without the consent
Of the governed. In 1892 Hale went to
the Minneapolis convention as a delegate
from Kansas He was placed on the
committee of resolutions. and happened
to be the only attorney on the commit
tee. It 50 happened that violent opposi-
ton 10 the denomination Of President
Harrison arose. and for some time it ap-
peared that another candidate would be
nominated. The question Of Harrison's
ultimate nomination was largely settled
by the admission Of certain contested
southern delegations. The committee of
