Ransom. There he is. There he is.
:08:23
All right. All right. All right.
:08:25
All right, now, if you want,
I can show you the rules.
:08:32
The meeting will come to order.
Settle down please.
:08:36
Mr. Peabody, would you keep
a record of the meeting?
:08:40
Rance, please. There are other men...
Give me a drink.
:08:44
- Bar's closed.
- Just a beer!
:08:46
- Bar's closed.
- A beer's not drinking!
:08:49
- Before we start...
- Sit down, Doctor, please?
:08:53
I have a pencil right here.
Thank you.
:08:59
You all know why we're here.
:09:02
We're here to elect two delegates,
because a growing population
:09:07
south of the Picketwire entitles us
to two.
:09:10
These two delegates will represent us
:09:13
in the territorial convention
for statehood.
:09:20
You know the issue.
:09:22
The cattle interests want to keep
this territory an open range.
:09:26
No!
:09:29
Ruled by their high-handed ideas,
whatever they are.
:09:33
And we - that means everybody
in this room - we're for statehood!
:09:41
We want statehood, because it means
the protection of farms and fences.
:09:47
It means schools for our children
and progress for the future!
:09:54
Just sit down, please.
:09:56
Now we'll proceed
with the nominations.
