 But want to say he continued, mo
 matter what transpires tonight or to-

 and Murray Crane.
 LITTLE TIME WON'T HURT

 been done today, and the last two days
 by the progressive party. We've fingered
 so long, A hours will do us no more | harm.
 But when that is over and you and
 my friends, will preserve the progressive party he concluded | His pent up indignation, so openly and | violently enunciated, sent the convention l into another Outburst. | The crowd cried out for Victor Mur- | dock.
