at other love feast scenes

er two votes. Parker received 65S,
Hearst 200. Then all changedfrom

innings. There were innumerable
seconding speeches during the night,

then Pattison, then Cockerell. but he
wanted a Democrat. Many great
speeches were made during the hight,
especially those Of Littleton and Del
