'Mr. Chairman he began, Mr.
Underwood entered this contest hop
ing he might secure the nomination
from this convention. But | desire
to say for him that his first and great
est hope was that, through this con-
test he might eliminate for all time

son and DiXon's line has been tram
pled out and that it is once more
thoroughly united country"

tv nominee and always had been. Mr.
Underwood had taken no personal

constantly interrupted.
