lines in the report Of the majority
which was as follows:
And We commend and endorse the
legislature in passing and Governor
Sparks in signing the state police
bill"
Speaker Skaggs was the next to
take the floor and spoke of what he
termed the Restraining police bill.
George Thatcher followed on political
expediency. Senator Boyd delivered
a castigation to the convention that
called forth replies from the Esmer-
aida delegation, which had by this
time, with the Washoe delegation,
filed back to their accustomed places.
Sam Davis poured oil on the troubled
waters by suggesting that the minor
ity report be adopted and the conven-
ton was asked if a resolution endors-
ing the administration of Governor
Sparks would be passed. The minor
ity report was then passed as a sub
stitute for the police bill plank and
the following resolution was adopted:
I'VE commend the integrity, ability
and f~aithfulness of the late Governor
Sparks, who died at the post of duty
in the service of the state which he
had helped upbuild."
After several fruitless attempts at
adjournment Judge Sweeney advanc-
ed to the platform and introduced a
resolution authorizing the chairman
of the Democratic state central COM
mittee to enter into an agreement
with the chairman of the state Repub-
lican committee to draw up an agree
ment as to the duties of the legisla-
tors in their selection of United
States senator. Another row was al
most precipitated at this juncture by
Campbell of Washoe insisting that
the platform had not endorsed Fran
els G. Newlands for United States
senator. He was squelched in short
order and the convention at $3.50
took a recess until 10 O'Clock this
morning.
