afterwards renewed, and tho suggestion
adopted.

was voted down, and the original resolu-
tion then prevailed, and the roll was
called for the nominations by the couu-
ties. First, however, a shrill.voiced young
fellow in the Brooke delegation announced
that in that delegation was Democrat
who had voted the ticket since 1923. It
was moved that this man, Oliver A. Lewis,
be invited to seat on the platform. This
was done, and afterwards Ger. Bushrod

Wetzel, Democrat since 1919, were in.
cluded, and Gen. Price made little speech
Of thanks, which was vociierously cheered
Mr.. Lewis. .also expressed his appreciation
for the honor conferred upon him, after
which three cheers were given for the
three old men.
Some old delegate from Marshall rose,
and began to pronounce an eulogy upon
himself, when Jerry Hill, Of Parkersbnrg
broke in: sfi
"Mr. President, l move that we do
away with this tatTy business, and proceed
TO business"
