Allen was not candidate, and the vote
cast for him was complimentary one.
Just after the announcement OF the vote
by the Chair, Delegate Robertson very
properly took exception to the vote rs
cast bv the Washington District delegates.
The written ballot, which he had IN his
nossession showed that the vote was cast
for Messrs. Robertson, Woods and Gleason,
whereas il WAS recorded for Robertson,
Riley and Gleason. Some discussion oc-
Cured and little feeling was manifested
in consequence, But the Washington
delegation claimed they had made the
change in the vote before it was announced,
which accounted for the supposed error,
and when Intercepted by the CHAR, IN
sisted that the vote was recorded the way
they wanted it, The Chair then said he
had nothing else to do, though reluctantly,
Int to let the vote stand rs announced.
This appeared to be Il satisfactory solution
of the controversy, and the remaining
business before the Convention was taken
up in its order. TO-.
Thenext business was the selection OLSEN
atorial Conterccs, one from each district
MIR. Pendlcton moved that the districts be
