ths people.
Mr.. Thomas Thoner named William
Myles The nominations then closed.
Subsequently Mr., Thoner withdrew Mr.,
Mylss' name, saying no understood the
gentleman would not accept.
A ballot was taken, after several min
utes spent in an agoniElng effort to secure
two tellers. Massrs. Young, Whyte,
ThoneF, Naylor and one or two Others de.
clined In succession, Finally Messrs,
Stoetzer and Sawtelle consented 10 serve.
TUE RESULT WRONGLY RECORDED,
The vote was deposited in hat, and
when all collected was taken out by the
tellers and read aloud, the Secretary re-
cording II. The Washington district dele.
CATION voted on one ballot, the entire 53l
votes for Gleason, Robertson and Woods
When thu total vote was announced 1t was
given out as follows;
GileGSOl. .,..,,,..,,..S31s WosdG,
RohsitSOnp OS2k Riey"",,r,,,e,..3,3l2js
These Iootings did not agree with those
OF many spectators and delegates who
were figuring on tho result. Among those
who took down the figures as called by the
tellers and added them up for themselves,
considerable surprise was manifested.
Each, however, supposed he must be
wrong, and went to recouuting, Before
they could go over their additions, the
Gu siTmaR announced:
"bIr, Gleason received 3.S2S votes, Mr.,
Woods 1925 and Mr., Riley $3.50 80. Only
$500 votes being necessary to nominate, !
declare these three gentlemen the nomi-
nees oil the Convention"
This announcement was received with
cheers, Everybody overlooked the fact
that II only 1906 votes were necessary to
nominate, all four Of those voted for were
nominees. The three receiving the high,
eat votes were really the nominees, "0n
the face OF tho returns" these were Messrs,
Gleason, Riley and Woods,
Examination OF the SeCretary's record
OF tho vote, however, showed that Mr.,
Riley had been credited with the ISL votes
cast by Washington flr Mr.. Woods, This
gava him more Votes than Mr.. Robertson,
though he did not receive them.
When the vote was frat taken there was
some talk Of changing on the part OF one
or two delegations, Washington being one,
but the delegates became confused and
described changes which were physically
Impossible, as the vote was already re.
corded as they desired to have 1t.
When tho mistake in recording Wash.
ingtons DBL votes was discovered, Mr..
Richard Robertson, armed with the orig.
inal ballot Of that district, and fortified
with tho declaration Of the three delegates
that It was their vote, demanded CorreC-
| finn nj thu clerical error
STRANGE DECISION.
Mr.. John O. Pendlston at once jumped
to his feet and said 1t was too late to
"Chauge the vote" the result having been
announced. The Chair ruled that this
point WAS we'll taken, at the came time ex.
pressing his regret that the error could
not be reCtitled.
Mr.. Robertson called attention to the
fact that 1t was not a change Of the vote,
but correction Of clerical error by the
Secretary, which was proposed.
The Washington district men said their
vote was recorded right, and Mr.. Pendle.
ton at once took up this declaration.
Mr.. Robertson held up the ballot, and
said the vote wac not recorded right, and
that 1t was only at the diC!ation OF Messrs.
Pendleton and 0'Kane that the delegates
changed their minds and said 1t was.
Mr.. P0ndleton denied that he had
dictated to them; he had merely asked
them how they had voted, aud they said
they voted as the ballot was recorded.
Mr.. 0'Kane said he had not INDUCED in
any dCtation. He had merely asked the
delegates how they voted. Heknew how
they wero going 10 vote before. This ex.
PLANTATION caused an audible smile.
The chair ruled this all out OF order,
and the slaughter was contaminated.
Later Mr.. Knglen aud Captain Kenny, OF
the Washington delegation, both said
thsy had voted for Mr.. Woods. No vote
from Washington district was 80 recorded.
