A certain local boss in West Virginia politics always controlled his delegations to the conventions, and the delegates voted the way he told them to—and not until he did tell them.
At one convention a delegate presented a resolution that the boss favored but had not heard about soon enough to post his delegates as to who they should vote on it The chairman of the convention put the question: "All in favcr of this resolution say aye." There were a few ayes, and the boss' delegates looked at him inquiringly. Seeing that he would not have time to pass the word and wanting the resolution passed, he dashed down the aisle toward the chairman, waving his hands and shouting: Don't put the negative! Don't put the negative! I did that once and got in a hell of a fix."
