Then came a scramble In change votes.
Jeremiah Lynch wanted to explain his
vote, but was not permitted TO do so.
Murphy OF the Thirty-nnth shouted. IL
change my vote to Murphy and wish had
10000" Both sides, for it was clear that
the fight was between Murphy and Budd,
tried to create stampede. Colusa
changed from Spencer to Budd. Changes
had been made half way down the list
when Shanahan raised the point of order,
and the strangest ruling which has
marked the convention was made by
Chairman Del Vale. He ruled that no
votes could be changed prior 10 the an
nouneement of the vote. This raised a
storm of objections. but nothing to what
followed recent ruling by the chairman.
After much delay the vote was an
nOunced. the changes which certain dele
cations made having been stricken out, as
follows:
Spencer 48, Ostrom 10, Poote 6, La Rue l.
Delegates again attempted to change
their votes The chairman ruled that they
could not, and ordered a second ballot,
against the fercest protests of delegates,
who demanded to know if there was DO
time either before or after the announce
ment when they could change their votes.
On the second ballot Budd gained one,
and Murphy lost two in Alameda. Budd
loo in
Colusa. The gains and losses were small
in every delegation until San Diego was
reached, when Murphy and Budd were
each given five and half votes. Budd
began to show gains in San Francisco from
the Mcguire detection greater than the
gains made by Murphy. An attempted
change in votes, which Shanahan spoke of
as in order, called Jacobs of San Joaquin
to his feet, who demanded fair play and
tie same ruling in both ballots.
The result of the second ballot was:
Budd 296B Murphy 1921, Spencer 30,
Mcguire "a. FoOte is, Ostrom ID
Horace Jackson was appointed sergeant

that Budd had gained the lead was the
occasion for the widest scene of the con-
vention.
