j. II. Shields, Of Iowa-"Mr. Chair
man, at the request of
COL wATTERsoS, OF KENTUCKY,
Iowa withdraws her twenty-six votes,
and Iowa wishes the vote changed to
twenty-six votes for Stevenson, of Illi-
nois." TCries OF ''Good, Good" and
loud applause. Montana, Nebraska
Nevada, Ohio and Oregon each in turn
changed TO Stevenson. When the chair
man Of the Missouri delegation obtained

as he changed the thirty-four votes Of
that State for Stevenson. Georgia

excitement from the convention which

than a mob. Tennessee hastily fol-
lowed in the wake OF the other States
and cast her tWenty-four votes solid

The Chairman-"Wha is the name OF
the gentleman"
The speaker said his name was Cole,
Of Ohio.
Mr.. Cole, OF Ohio-"I move that the
rules be suspended and that General
Stevenson be nominated by acclama-
ton" Loud applause greeted this mo-
ton and the delegates all over the hail
seemed impatient that the question be
put. In the midst of the excitement
Mr.. Hensel, OF Pennsylvania, who was
standing on the platform in front Of the
presiding officer seconded the motion.
The Chairman The Hon. Adai f.
Of Ills, having already re-
,eived more than two-thirdS OF the vote
IF this convention it is moved by Mr..
Cole, Of Ohio, and seconded by Mr.. Hen
eel, OF Pennsylvania, that the rules be
aud he declared by accIama-
ion the nominee OF this convention for
Vice President. All in favor Of that
notion will say aye"
a great chorus OF ayes greeted this

"HAM TO THE CHIEF"

General Collins now rellnquished the
