Show Chairman Robert W. Sloan was right c,ruel to Fisher Harris at the late county conventions. John T. Caine and Mr. Harris rose simultaneously in the convention to make a nomination. The chairman chair-man noted the prominetly silhouetted figure of Mr. Harris first, but the gallant Virginian waived the privilege of the floor in favor of Mr. Caine, saying that Mr. Caine was the only man In the wide world to whom he would yield the floor. The real tragedy trag-edy of the case came later, when Chairman Sloan rewarded Harris' chivalry by refusing to recognize him again- on the ground that he had already auctioned auc-tioned off the privilege of speaking. As Mr. Har ris was in his very best oratorical mood, the convention con-vention mourned the loss of what would have been undoubtedly been a magnificent fulmination. |
