surprise by adopting resolutions last

time said nice things about Jugae
Gray. Included in the resolutions is
the following:

CONVENTION DID NOT
INSTRUCT DELEGATES
Proceedings During the Afternoon Enlivencd by
the Efforts of DR.. Layton TO Have
Instructions Given for Taft, and
a Tilt Over a Rule

tous question under the mere formal pre-
text Of a rule. especially when the ques-
ton concerns every Republican I'm every
state Of the Union. We stand here to-day
confronting one Of the great crises in
American histore. There never has been
a time since the adoption Of the Federal
Constitution with more far-reaching and
pregnant questions presenting themselves
to the people Of the whole land"
Said Twas Gag Law
Chairman Hilles interrupted DR..
Layton by reminding him that the
question was on the suspension of the
rule. Dr. Layton said that was what
he was trying to get at. even though
in a roundabout way. He resumed his
speech, when Mr.. Hilles again called
his attention to the question before
the convention.
Are we to have free debate, or are
we to have gag law?" appealed DR.
Layton, turning about and surveying
the convention.
If the rules Of this convention re-
lquire gag law, gag law will be inn
posed" retorted Chairman Hilles, We
hemently. THE rule as it now stands
precludes the reading Of or action on
this resolution. The question is on the
suspension Of the rule"
well, If such is the rule and II is
the purpose of this convention not to
consider such a momentous question, /
have nothing further to say" remarked
Dr. Layton, as he took his seat.
Prodded Or. Layton
I Edward Coale, a delegate from Della
Nf a..
stant, making a plea for an uninstruct-
ed delegation. He said he had faith in
the Delaware delegation, and believed
they should be unhampered. He as
serted that DR.. Layton twelve years
ago stood up in the State convention
and opposed a resolution instructing
the delegates for William Mckinley for
: President
4 I arise to contradict that state
ment," exclaimed Dr. Layton. as Chair
man Hiles was calling for order. 1T
is false"
Chairman Hilles then called for &C.
ton on the motion to suspend The rule
and the motion was overwhelmingly
lost; so much so that DR.. Layton would
not insist on a roll-call.
Isaac r. Brown suggested that -four
thousand copies Of the party rules DC
printed for the information of Repub-
licans throughout the State, and DIT
Layton inquired: "Is there any way
we can get before this convention an
! depression OF opinion on the subject
matter covered in DR.. Grier's resolu-
tion?"
Not that I know Of" replied Chair
man Hilles, and the Taft incident was
lclosed.
Clash Over a Rule
Earlier in the afternoon a clash came
over the proposal to amend some OF
the rules. There was no objection to
THE change requiring that the holder
of a proxy shall live in the same cleo
tion district or ward as the delegate
whom he shall represent. This amend
ment was made TO clarity the rule.
\ Another amendment substituted the
words roll CALI for ballot" in the
