A motion was made that the county
committee be balloted for. This arOus-
ed little discussion, many of the
speakers forming the present commit
tee. MIR. Lupton, of Excelsior, rose to
inquire if the county committee could
be balloted for. AS he understood it,
the present convention was not repre-
sentative body and could go no further
than to elect the representatives to the
be held in the fall for the purpose of
nominating county officers should have
that work on hand. Messrs. Lawrence
and Williams jumped to their feet, and
heated discussion followed. Both of
the speakers resented the idea that the
meeting was not representative one.
DR.. Milestone finally poured Oil upon
the troubled waters in his mild way, land
it was finally agreed to leave the COM
mittee as it stood, with the addition OF
the name of DR.. G. E. Leonard.
While the committee on resolutions
was out, the convention was amused by
a display of infant prodigieS, who spoke
speeches and sang songs in temper

elders. The final business of the day
was the report of the committee, with
