' ' After reading the letter from M; Teller, Senator Butler expressed, his personal views against the amend ment and against those who have an nounced themselves as favoring Its adoption, lie spoke of ihe recent Democratic State Convention and said that. the. reason it was such a large gntliering was that the great part f the convention wait composed of office seekers. lie paid a tribute t: his friends Messrs.
