Advisory Convention and 30 Garry into

it advisable to here repeat the resolu-

said district to be declared such csndl-
jate-and as there are seven election
districts IN the county and only five
Commissioners can be elected, that the
Central Committee shall by lot determ-
me which election districts shall be en-
titled To candidates at the first election
to be held hereafter and at all suisse
quent elections, until by repeated cleo
tons, an order OF succession is estab-
