| Wallace county WAS certainly for Tur-
ner and the minority report offered by
MIR. Chambers SO stated. but that was not
the program. and the on'i-Trrners were
seated by vote of 491s to A.
Rocks county was one of those places
where both children were bad and the
big four" recommended that both dele
cations be seated with half vote for
each. Mr. Chambers made a minority
report. but to no use, and the majority
report was adopted by vote of A. to 80.
, The next entree on the bill of fare was
the report on Sherman county. The same
process was gone through with but to no
purpose and while there was not the least
grounds for contest the anti Turner
delegates were seated BY a vote of 511 to
46.
1t was indeed surprise when the mai
ority committee reported Logan county
in favor of the Turner delegates Many
of the Turner friends voted against ac-
cepting the report while some refused to
vote at all. The motion carried.
The committee on permanent organi-
cation reported, making The temporary
