delegates by stating that he wanted
to make a right wrong or wrong
right; that he was sorry to see in a
Democratic convention this attempt
at gag rule. He finished by stating
that no good Democrat would be so
remiss in his duty as to leave the hall
before all the work in the convention
had been accomplished.
! Boss McFadden thanked God that
all the conventions he mad attended
in the past were Democratic ones,
and he shouted, "Be Democrats, :"
! just as Jimmie Golden was being
escorted from the hall The redoubt-
able Jim hurled back the def, mot
on your life; I'm for Hearst, Hisgen,
Jimmie Golden and the peepul."
Attorney J. H. Morris then spoke
on the legal side of the case.
Zeb Kendall in all his grand
stature buttoned the lower button of
his coat and with his arms churning
the air said that he was surprised at
Democrats taking up so much of the
valuable time of men who had mill
lions at stake, taken away from the
multitudinous business cares to listen
to dissertations on Roberts rules of
order and Webster's unabridged die
tionary. He was surprised at the
ignorance of the delegates. (From
the bottom the stairs Jimmie Golden
shouted, $50 am I.'O Zeb then
drawing himself to his full height in
stentorian tones shouted, why not
place Constable Ed Malley first
The chairman was evidently very
much impressed by Zeb's peroration
for he declared the motion out of
order.
George Thatcher arose to a point
of order and Tom Marshall, descend
ant of the signer of the declaration
of independence and the famous jur-
ist, took issue with Thatcher and the
convention became restive.
"Corkus" wanted to know the diff
ference between reconsider and res
cind.
Tex Watson said they never re-
considered in Texas or were never
know to rescind or renig when invit-
ed to drink
Kelly of Rhyolite also took a fall
out of Mac on the subject of parlia-
mentary law and Webster's una
bridged. In fact as coiner of words
Kelly can give pointers to any die
tionary extant. He quoted by saying
that the difference between recon-
slider and .rescind was ''reconscind. :"
Candidate Fitzgerald wanted lots
of time and somebody howled Next. "
He wanted a strangle hold on the or
der of business but was interrupted
by cries of Question from all
quarters of the house.
Dick Dunlap cut the Gordian knot
fest should cease and told them to
cut loose on the platform. The chair
agreed with Dick and the platform
was read by Clay Tallman, which is
as follows:
