Cook took the platform and his speech
against the adoption of the report was in
terrupted with applause and boots. He
was fearless in his remarks, and although
he knew the votes were against his side,
he appealed to the delegates to strike out
the troublesome section. He spoke in
part as follows:
On behalf of 40 per cent of the delegates
OF this convention and 80 per cent OF the
Democratic voters of this city and county
now offer an amendment. This report places
in the hands of the chairman of this conven-
ton the appointment of forty for the county
committee at large and only four to each dis
trict giving him the power that the
present county committee has; that is, in
any one district he hlI up by appointment
to overcome the selections Of that district;
he can fill up in that district. If he wishes
to control, by appointing at large a sufficient
number and apportioning them to that particu-
lar district.

I say that for the governing body of the
Democratic party each delegation should select
its own members Of the county committee.
(Applause.) Without any dIsrespect to Mr..
Hickey as chairman-it would be immaterial
who might be chairman-what does he know
about the particular needs OF any district
in the selection of county committeeman at

SAM JONES, LAWYER.
Central Kansas Man Who Received
"Praise From Caesar

Mr.. Sam Jones. of Lyons, was in the
city yesterday on important law business
the nature of which. in detail. was not
learned Mr. Jones was a candidate for
the nomination for congress before the
Great Bend convention and had the solid
delegation from his county as well as
strong influences in other parts of the
district. He has been one of the strong
est and warmest friends of Victor Muir
dock since the day of his nomination and
the results in Rice county Tuesday Of
next week, Will prove that Mr. Jones
and his friends are at work and at work
intelligently and Loyalty.
Mr.. Jones is one of the picturesque
lawyers of Kansas and has one of the
best balanced legal minds anywhere in
the west. MI Ed Kenna. general coun-
sci for the Santa Fe system, told the
writer of this three years ago, that Mr..
Jones was the ablest lawyer. in the
freight rate question, the legal depart
ment OF the Sanuta Fe ever went up
against 1t was after Mr.. Jones brought
a case before the state board of railroad
commissioners in behalf of three town
ships in Rice county, charging discrimi-
nations in rates on agricultural imple-
ments and coal The company sent its
best attorneys 10 Lyons to fight the case
but finding Sam Jones equipped with I'M
answerable facts. they abandoned the
fight, put in a fair rate and the three
townships in question. it was alleged at
the time, saved about $4,000 a year be-
cause of the results accomplished by Mr.
Jones
If Sam Jones cared to wear suits Of
clothes that would cost $50 and hats and
shoes that would cost so more, with the
ability he has got in the practice of law.
he would have long ago been earning S10.

still a great many people in Kansas who
are deceived In the fable that clothes
make the man as we'll as the lawyer. Mr.
Jones came from the Medicine Lodge of
Iowa. from town, If the Eagle is not
mistaken. in Van Buren, county. 1t is the
town that developed a farmer boy-Van
Beuthusen-from local reporter into the
editorial manager Of the New York World
at salary of $4,000 He and Mr.. Jones
were schoolmates and it is a safe bet to
make that Samuel always had the best
OF him in gray matter. But he lacks am
bition to be a money maker, like a great
many others of talent He is too easily
satisfied. his wants are too few; and he
cannot bear to lead the strenuous life
that leads to the coin. He would rather
perhaps be with Carlyle, writer OF
French revolution history. in the privacy
of a mountain cabin. than be the guest
of Pierpont Morgan in his private yacht.
And that's how men Of scholarly tastes
can get even, and more than even, with
men whose tastes tend toward the bonds
market.
Mr. Jones talks very Interestingly about
the development of men Of distinction in
Iowa. He knows enough of the personal
history Of some of them to make fasci-
mating novel
