Mr. Proudfoot and the chairman at- tempted several times to speak but without success. One delegate as- serted his right to ask a question and incurred the displeasure of the gal- lery, "Surely," asserted the chairman, "We owe the same courteous and gentlemanly consideration the have given to the other speakers who have not been the steadfast and honor- able leader of the Liberals in Par.
