to admit the Messrs. Wilson, although I
knew they were favorable to the NOM
ination OF Colonel Hoge."
what about the statement given by
Me-. Heernans as to the final result?''
asked the reporter.
ut is as inaccurate as many OF his
other statements. The vote was kept
and reported by the secretary, who was
an anti Hoge man. On the thirth- fifth
ballot. when the roll call began, Bed
ford voted eight for Hoge. When this
was done Mr.. Ssovsll asked for a recess
of 10 minutes. This was objected to
and the chair put it as motion, which
was voted down by the house.
The chair, however, should have ruled
the motion out Of order, but in the
spirit Of fairness let the house decide it.
1t Is we'll known that all motions are
out OF order during roll call.
The roll continued as follows: Camp.
bell. Stovall 4, Hoge 2; Charlotte,
Stoval 4; Halifax, Stoval 10; Lyncnburg,
Stoval 2. Roge 5; Montgomery, Heer-
mans o; Roanoke county, Stoval u
Hoge u; Roanoke city. Hoge 8; Rad
ford, Heermans 1.
Mr.. Stovall, who had retired, re-
turned just as the roll IL was com
pleted. and asked to change the vot, Of
Halifax and Charlotte from himself to-
Mr.. Heermans. The chair did rule this
out Of order. When Mr.. Stovall made
that announcement A. Humbles, Of
Campbell, changed the other four Camp
bell votes to Hoge, and Mr.. Pedigo, Of
Roanoke, changed his one-halt vote
from Stovall to Hoge. None of these
changes we're recorded by he secretary
as 1t was apparent the result was not
effected, and the chairman announced
that Colonel Hoge was nominated. The
