COIN IS GIVEN
 SEVERE ROAST
 BY \ DELEGATE

PHOENIA, Oct. s1. - tSpecial)-- Taking exception to telegraph sto- " recently printed in the Daily Globe of Globe, Ariz., in which he was classed as esorehead," Judge Ba- ker of Maricopa, yesterday afternoon rose to question of personal priv ilege and said
 MT. President:
 I desire to rise here in my place on question of personal privilege. have in my hand an issue of the pa per known as the Daily Globe of date Tuesday. October IS, in which l find the following language in an article published in that paper pertaining to myself, individually, as member of this convention and to other members of this honorable body. and the Ian guage that I refer to is as follows:
 And talking about sorebeads, there certainly are some in the convention; notably Webb of Graham, who as pred to the presidency and never got a chsirmanship; Franklin of Maricopa, Baker of the same shire and a few others. President Hunt evidently took the view that they .sould be able to accomplish more an hampered by chairmanship.'
 Mr. President, had I noticed this language or communication in the press ordinarily I should have paid no attention to it whatever; but fia1 that this communication upon its face. apparently eminates from geu- tieman wlsa was given my vote, and by the entire vote of this honorable body, has been allowed great persona, priv leges upon this floor with us and who is to draw a salary by virtue of the unatnimous vote of this colven- tion
 The gentleman whom I refer to Is the private secretary of the president Of this convention and his name is A. A. Cohn.
 Now, Mir. President, regret such language. such communications of that kind coming from that source as it is wholly unwarranted, is unseemly, ungracious and uncalled for.
 l wish to add that the statement, so far as I am personally concerned, IS absolutely false and untrue.
 appeal to the brother members | of this convention if my conduct as a member of this honorable body, if by single vote, if by a single speech that l have made or act of mine in attempting to serve the peoples in- terests in this honorable body that l have exhibited the slightest spirit or disposition to be a sorehead. l am conscious of the fact that 1 have here attempted, coolly, dispassionately and with a single eye and with de- terrnined heart to act for the best interests of the people of this terri tory in this convention without any mere honors from the convention l realize | was sent to this convention. not to grasp at personal aggrandize- ment at the hands of my brother members. but simply as a hard work ing member of the convention, and hope when the end of th.s convention shall come I shall be able to bear away the feelings of my fellow mem bers.
 I say sorehead is a political term. But want to say. MT. President, that if the presidents private secretary sees fit te use this kind of language without any cause in any shape or form, that that man is a great draw back in the democratic party.
 I have been informed that this man was the high chief bottlewasher for Hovai Smith in a recent campaign
 I accord, MT President, the privilege and right 10 appoint any one his pri- yate secretary. but do not deny and assert that when the private secre tary of the president will use such terms fo members in this sort of way. without anything to support it. it is unseemiy. uncalled for and unjusti- fable
 Mir Franklin of Maricopa, another gentleman referred to In the article signed by CohD, also took the floor to refufe the charges and insinuations of the article in question.
 Upon the conclusion of Mir Frank lin's remarks President Hunt walked from the chair to the floor of the con vention, and said that he deplored the statements made by Cohn, and although he was in no way personally responsible for what had been writ ten, trusted it would be retracted immediately in the most graceful manner possible.
