C. is slow as a tortoise: doesn't seem to c'-t over anv ground at all a chip off the old block, eh? Delegate John I1. ChrisUnseu is running Delegate Jcppsen a close race as champion of point-of-order. How beautifully he rapped down Delegate Kicy Jones time and time ifain and the house roared. President C'ombs seems euual to every occasion unlike his unskilled un-skilled prototype. Delegates Standing and Eldridge posed as Bob Iugersolls th.-y fought like tigers, but in vain, to have "Almighty God"' stricken out of the preamble. Delegate Kddy was as quiet and demure as a three weeks' old lamb: too many ladies present bashful, no doubt. Too much technicality; too little real work. A few members ought to be giver, to understand thac this Convention was not organized to give them fine opportunities to continually con-tinually spring nice technical points; but to get down at once to the thorough discussion of the constitution con-stitution itself, llow it nnis-t make Lijesident Coombs tremble when the two Jones arise simultaneously, both pointing point-ing their fingers at him demanding recognition. The way they fiercely fierce-ly point those long, pistohlike fore-lingers fore-lingers a casual observer would think they were drawing a bead on the President. |
