linois delegation, part of the delegates claim
ing their right to divide the vote of the State.
while their Chairman, Mr.. Richardson,
claimed that they were instructed TO vote as
a unit. 'On the other hand, Mr.. Dolby main
tained that they were cnly instructed to vote
as a unit on the Presidential nomination,
and on no other question. No action on this
point was taken by the Convention, and the
vote was recorded as a unit.
