to order by Chairman Bell, who ex-
perienced considerable difficulty in
making himself heard. After telling
the officers to clear the aisles and
commanding the delegates to be seat
ed, he introduced Rev. Christian s.
Reisner, who offered the invocation.
The marching clubs were then
given an inning, after which a resolu-
ton of respect to the memory Of the
late national chairman. ]. K. Jones, of
Arkansas, was adopted.
Ollie James of Kentucky then moved
that recess be taken till o'clock
p. M, on account of the inability of
his committee on credentials 10 re-
port.
The chair put the motion to the con-
vention. Twice he remarked that 1t
is his opinion that the delegates voted
yea and the galleries no, but he finally
decided the nos have it, and proceed
ed with business. The crowd then
called for Taylor of Tennessee to
|sreak, but he refused.
