The convention was called to order by Senator West shortly after ten o’clock and both Jenkins and Pottlu were nominated for temporary chair man. Mr. Jenkins' name was cheered loudly and received a chorus of sec ends. Amidst a number of delegates, all addressing the chair at the same time, Hutchens got the floor. Pande monium broke loose, and it was some time before he could be heard. Not until Colonal Pottle Jumped upon the stage and asked a quiet and attentive hearing for Mr. Hutchens,' 1 did the delegates permit Mr. Hutehens to proceed. He began by saying "We are all fello\c democrats. I yield to nobody in my loyalty to the denio cratle party.” Mr. Hutchens then an nouncing that he was coming to his point of personal privilege began a jeers and urged to "cut out the dew drops and beauty of the morning gl« ries, when he was Interrupted with jeers ad urged to “cut out the dew drops and morning glories'’ There were cries of "put him out," and the convention was in an uproar.

McClulehey, raising his hand and getting attention, announced that Senator West, unless order was re stored at onoe, would adjourn the con vention until 10 o’clock Wednesday morning. “You can't do It.” “We dare you to try it," was shouted at Senator West from the audience. Mr. Hutchens, resuming for the sixth or seventh time, said: "I didn't start tills row." The audience shouted "well slop it, then.” Hutchens Not a Delegate. Dupont Guerre then made the point of order that Mr. Hutchens was not a delegate and therefore had no right to tho floor. Mr. Hutchens snapped out "Well, he had the audacity to send a message here." Mr. Guerry shot back: "And you have the impudence to come here and Interrupt this convention.” Rev. Mr. Ainsworth was then ac corded the privilege of the floor, lie raised his hands, reqeustlng the audi ence to stand, and then prayed fer vently and impasslonately that calm and quiet be restored. When Mr. Hutchens resumed after the prayer the convention heard him. "T have no int' ntion to give offense to any nmn," lie said. "If you will lei me finish, I will be through In a moment. Semi tor Smith has no contest here, there fore 1 question the good taste and the democracy of a message such as he has sent to this convention. (Howls of derision mingled with hisses for quiet). I don't care If it costs me every vote 1 have in this convention, t here and now record my protest against such autocracy.” And having thus, said what he whs trying to Ray, Mr. Hutchens left the stage. Quiet prevailed at nneo and the roll call started for temporary chairman. The convention cheered and ap plauded. “We are glad today to honor also,” Mr. Jenkins resumed, “the ablest nmn In the United States sen ate, lion, liuke Smith," here tho con vention broke Into deafening ap plause. On motion of Col. Joseph Pottle, Senator West was tendered a seal on the rostrum. Proceeding with busi ness, Chairman Jenkins asked for nominations for temporary secretary.
