utes of interruption, you might as
well hear me now, because you will
have to hear from me if it takes all
summer. Now, the question here Is, it
is proposed that a majority shall be
obtained for Mr.. Root by the road pre-
paxed by these Is members of the Ma
tional Committee who do not repre-
sent, one electoral vote Of this Union,
and by many delegates who have no
right here"
In the midst of Heney's speech, Col.
Stone appeared in front of the plat
form and shouted: 1.-The chairman de-
sires me to announce that unless the
speaker Is paid respect, those not
treating him with such will be put out
of the building" Heney then resumed
as follows: Elm other words, the pro-
position is just this: mo corrupt judge
shall be in a position to place himself
in judgment on the proposition to come
before the house. Let US put before us
as chairman a man who does not rep
resent either of us. You are afraid to
trust the question to go before him,
the representative of Robert M. La
Toilette. Heney then quit speaking.
John ]. Sullivan, of Cleveland, Sec
onded McGovern's nomination
Oregon Heard From.
Charles H. Carey Of Oregon, did the
same came from Oregon. and desire
to give a word of explanation here,
said Carey. I'm our state We have pri-
mary laws, which say that delegates
to national conventions must express
tls wishes of the people, expressed
at the polls. When / became a dele
gate was for the reelection of Pres
ident Taft. / am bound by my oath to
Roosevelt.
w. c. Bradley, Of Kentucky, said,
For three years I have been repre-
senting Kentucky in the Senate. 1t was
my fortune to know Senator Root. Let
me say that such an unjust and outra-
geous lot of contests never existed
did you vote for Lorimer?" shout
ed a delegate.
"Yes, l did, and when did voted
fol- a man ten thousand times as good
as you are. Just as good as YOU"
Takes Crack at Heney.
Il want to say" he went on, that
the time shall never come when my
state shall become so low as to accept
moral advice from Francis ]. Heney.'
A great cheer Followed. #
who voted for Lorimer?" cried one
of the delegates.
IF man could get. under your cutf-
Gle he would find nfeaner man than
Lorimer," came the answer. Il did not
intend to speak, but I don't believe
that men should be permitted to make
statements without denial. Heney
talked of the South not having cleo
toral votes. We will come great deal
nearer giving our electoral vote to
Taft than to Teddy Roosevelt. l want
to thank, you, gentlemen" Again the
delegates cried out Lorimer's name
.You say Lorimer. say Lie, lie, lie,
shouted the speaker
Three cheers for Roosevelt" shout
ed a delegate, but the Roosevelt dele
gates did not seize the opportunity for
a demonstration.
Then the speaker continued: with
your consent, Mr.. Chairman, wish to
spend few moments to allow this
fool here to stop asking questions, but
the sergeant-at-arms says that l would
be here month, II did"
Root, Root, Lorimer," came the
cry.
''If you think you can override and
bull this convention, you are mistak
en-. All we want is regularity" was
the senator's retort. Again he was
stopped by groans. A shout arose
when the speaker stepped back to
