The closing scenes of the convention,

which attended were larger than on the

planted into a boiling debate between
Chicago representatives and thoe from

metropolis.
Royinond Kobblna of Chicago fired th
first shots In a speech on the history of
Chicago charter legislation. He told of the
efforts of representatives from that city to
secure charter legislation. He mauled tbe
legislature on its manner of transacting
executive business, telling how three dis
tinct bills had met ultimate deaths at
the bands ef what he termed as the down
state men. in closing nis spectacular attack
on the legislature in general, he said:
"Until this state is represented by men
who are human beings who do not do their
voting by long-distance telephones, Chicago
will ask no further charier legislation."
