farv TX. WpllS IT. Peak &
The first formal ballot was void
owing to their being 84 votes cast
whereas the convention was entitled
to only 50. 1t was as follows: Utt, Al,
Jeffrey, Is. Wells, Is, Peak, Z.
Mr. McFall of Harrison made the
point that the two extra votes might
be substracted from Mr. Utt's vote and
he would still have a majority and
moved that Mr.. UT be nominated by
reclamation. The motion prevailed
and MIR. UT was declared the nomi-
nee. He thanked the convention for
the honor conferred in brief speech
and pledged his fidelity to the party
and its interests.
The following assembly committee
was then named,
