Mr.. West denied that he had charged
| fraud and treachery.
At this point /. w. Easion, OF Nor.
folk county. made a speech which pu,
| the convention in better humor. He
said 1t was .udicrous to hear men, VINO
We're afraid they were about to be out
voted, say that the convention was
thwarting the voice of the people. They
felt, he said that they represented all
the people of the district AS to vot-
ing like cattle the Holland leaders
were voting the biggest herd so votes
each time.
He called attention to the fact that
the eighty-seven delegates necessarily
represented more people than did the
eighty and that 1t was unfair to sug-
gest a combination that was improper.
Ii there was going to be Republican
victory, such talk as had just been
INDUCED In would do the most toward
poisoning the public mind. Don't pre-
suppose" he said. that everything Is
to be rotten before 1t comes off"
| The vote was then taken, with the
usual result--s7 and So
ItuIed Ont of Order.
| Mr.. Parker moved that the rules Of
| the House OF Delegates be adopted.
! This would have caused the dropping
| of the lowest candidate. Chairman Pill
cher ruled this out of order. Mr.. Par
ker appealed TO the convention. which
sustained the chair by the now time
honored vote. Committees were then
| named, as follows:

the report of the credentials commits
tee, which carried out the results of tho

j. D. Hank, Jr, presented the report
on resolutions. The reference to legal
lied primaries provoked applause. This
report advocated the adoption of the
rules of the House of Delegates, ex-
cept that no candidate be dropped
without his written consent Also that
chairman cast the votes. 1t was eX-,
plained that this would throttle no.
body. but that II any one wanted to
change his vote the chairman would
accept accordingly. This was salts
factory TO everybody and was unani-
rnously agreed to.
On permanent organization the COM
mittee named II. j. Davis, Of Ports
n -, IT,
and John B. Jenkins, of Norfolk, for
secretary. There was no opposition.
Mr.. Davis said only few words in
-aking the chair. pleading for party
harmony. He then called for nomina-
ions for Congressman. After some
discussion 1t was decided that the
James be called in the order in which
hey appeared on the ballot, that NOM
mating speeches be limited to fften
minutes and seconding remarks to FIVE

cent party troubles.
