stale. Mr.. Cooke then introduced the

protesting that such resolution was
un-American. In effect. He said that
the parting Of the ways had come and
proposed a substitute which limited
proxies to members of the Territorial
committee residing in the districts Of
the absent members.
Col. Fisher did not believe In this
course. He was for more latitude In
the matter Of proxies, emphasizing his
remarks by the statement that often
country members could not get to
town for meeting but that there were
often men here from their districts
who, knowing the sentiments Of their
own members, could vote intelligently
on any matters brought up before the
Territorial committee and better than
any others, members of the committee
from other districts not excepted.
