the report, that the convention should pro-
coed to ballot for delegates to Chicago:
This motion or substitute, provoked con
| siderable discussion, in which @. X. Davis
j. T. .Averill, D. B. Searles, Mr.. Youman'a
and others took part.
Gov. Davis insisted upon ballot.
Then some confusion ensued as to the re.
suit of adopting the substitute or not. ''
Gov. Yale, chairman, explained that if the
substitute was lost. it would virtually
be the adoption OF the committees report,
| and the names there would be delegates to
Chicago.
Gin other words,'' said Mr.. G. G. Chamber
lain, "twenty-one men elect the delegates to
| the Chicago national convention, for which
this convention was called"

A. E. Rioe remarked that he had noticed
in the list Of delegates that the Swedes we're
ignored, while the Norwegians were well
represented. As he was from Norway, he
for the sake of harmony would move to sub

KandiyoM for his own. This was carried,
with some dissent. - ~ D..
