solution that all candidates should

such; that nominating ; speeches

was agreed to, except that by q vote
Of Al 70 IS, the doors to the once Of
county Judge and states attorney
were left ajar for candidates outside
Of the party. Then came the voting
and the convention found itself in an |
almost incxtricable parliamentary
tangle by trying to adhere to the
"rules" which compelled them to|
have IN informal ballot, with only
one candidate, Mr.. w. J. Bride, put In |
nomination for auditor. After big |
struggle the convention finally sue
coded in duly nominating their one

vote: W. J. Bride, es; w. F. Grill, Al
W. @. Briggs. 4; J. w. Hughes, l.. |
