The scenes IN the House cham yer
where che conference vas held were
at times dramatic and setsat ional az.
cordiItE to some Of those who were
PRESENT The men who stood for the
fdlftlment Of the platform prmtses
vehemently resented the effrt Of those
who had proated politically TO come
INTO the Legislature and ask the legis-
lature to disregard their obligation to
their constituents. They declared
their duty was plainly before them,
made Conspicuous by the converting OF
them in special session TO carry out
these very pledges, and that to refuse
to respect the Obligation was to. insult
the intelligence Of the great mass OF
citizens who had sent them to the
Legislature, and an admission that
they, the Legislators, we're incompetent
to pass upon the measure.
Chiffon 10 Background.
At the morning conference John T.
McGraw and Senator W. E. Chiffon
we're invited to appear before he con-
ference in the afternoon. The man
who for a score Of years led the De-
mocracy In this State, and the present
national committeeman, responded to
the invitation, but Senator Chiffon re-
NAMED away, sending letter stating
he did not desire to stir up strife and
therefore preferred to remain away.
Always a brilliant speaker, McGraw is
said to have surpassed any previous
effort. He reminded the legislators
what their obligation was to the peo-
pie and the party, and hoped they
would respect them. His speech
brought bushes to many, and hearty
cheers from others.

reduced by assertions, purchased dis.
