the homo bestowed upon him in elect
ing him as temporary chairman. He be-
lieved a great duty devolved upon the
convention. They were here in the cause
of humanity. He felt like quoting the
saying of the famous old Virginian, when
he said "Give me liberty or give me
DEATH He felt the same as did his fore
fathers when they dumped the tea in
Boston harbor.
Are we to be free men or are we to
be slaves!' he shouted. He was body
and soul in the movement. he said. n
If the people of the UNITY did not see
the dangers that confronted them let
them take the consequences. He closed
with a harangue against the Standard
Oil company n it's policy in the east
and in the Occur d'Alenes.
