/ We're turned away without being given

sirous.

ventlon and each was we'll received. All
| pledged themselves TO support the ticket.
The roll-call showed very close con-
test between Cohn and Beckley, with
! Wachhorst considerably behind. Then
the Waehhorst men commenced chang
ing their votes TO Cohn, and the demands
! Tor changes came so thick and fast that
confusion resulted, and there were loud
/ demands for new rOll-p4li
! The question was submitted and the
! convention declared in favor of calling
/ the roll anew. The result was:
