Jerry Muskrat in "The Convention At The Big Rock"

It looked very much as if the convention was going to break up in a sad quarrel. Then Mr. Racoon climbed up on the Big Rock and with a stick pounded for silence.  "I move," said he, "that in as much as we cannot agree, we tell Great-Grandfather Frog all about the danger and ask his advice, for he is very old and very wise and remembers when the world was young. All in favor please raise their right hands."
