Mr.. Finley moved that committee
of two from each Congressional dis
trict. on platform and resolutions, be
appointed by the chairman.
QUESTION OF REPRESENTATION.
Mr.. Applet said he wished to know
who composed the convention. He said
the counties had elected different num-
bers of delegates.
Mr.. Murphy moved that each county
be allowed three votes dividing the
vote of each man up into proportionate
fractional parts. Mr.. Sellers moved as
substitute that the roll as formed be
made the roll of the convention. Mr..
McSweeney supported Mr.. Murphy's
scheme; saying that the convention
had been called to be composed of three
delegates from each county. It was
unjust on a count of ayes and noes.
Governor Sheppard said his county
had been the only one to elect six del
egates, and it was done to show her
sympathy with the peace movement.
They only wanted three votes.
Mr.. Sellers withdrew his motion.
= Mr.. Murphy's motion was then
adopted.
Mr.. Finley's motion was then renew
ed and carried.

coming. He felt that better time
We're coming. He wanted her to b.
