and when the delegation had retired they
renewed their discussion. Finally to test
the prevailing opinion, Baker of Cincinnati,
submitted resolution setting forth that in
the event of the name of Allen G. Thurman
being presented to the convention for Vice
President, the Ohio delegation would give
him its undivided support. When q show Of
