After the election was over, Mr. Her
rlngton rose to a point of personal priv
iiege, and in neat address stated that
he would support the newly-elected presi-
dent-so long as he hewed to the line.
The speaker claimed that the assembly
was clogged with driftwood that should
be cleared away. He claimed that the
wheels OF progress were being obstruct-
eo He said that at some future meeting
ne would make statement to the dele
gates of the assembly telling them what
was wrong with the assembly and what
was needed to emancipate the working
class
He charged that some of his opponents
mad attempted to intimidate the employ
ers OF certain delegates if the said dele
gates did not vote against him. He in
simulated that outside influences were
used against him, but did not say what
those influences were.
The delegates who heard the talk OF
the defeated candidate could not helm
admiring him, but at the same time real
lied that back of every candidate that
runs for office there is floating certain
congested "driftwood" that will get into
the wheels OF any campaign band wagon
and Is apt to clog the wheels of progress

When the credentials of the Wait

objected to the credentials of s. G.
Fosdick because he holds a political
position at the statehouse This was
not made as political move, but be-
cause Fosdick is holding a political
position. and also because he is not
working at the trade he desires to rep
resent President Bryan ruled that
the credentials must go to a special
committee without debate, according
to the bylaws and constitution. OBJ
lection was raised to this course by
Delegates Osborn and. Farrell of the

stood by the constitution
A motion was then made by Dele
gate Farrell that Fosdick be seated.
The point of order was raised by Del
egate Conkle that the contest must 20
to a committee without debate, and
that a motion to seat would bring tho
subject matter before the assembly,

the state today at the trial of Schmidt

which he wrapped portion of it be-
fore he dropped it into the river from

Miss Hert, and go to som far Off
