at present given up to speeches on
the land question. more han a third
Of the members aying expressed a
desire TO be heard on this subject.
The specches are usually short and
often read from manuscript. Hand
clapping is allowed and there was
always applause at the close of the
speeches. Occasionally the president
a~nnouncoa that some sneaker on the
lict surrendered his time and this
statement also. brought forth an
nIause he discussion of the snhiect
having nv this time become tiresome.
