Marshall wOE next callsl, ana Mr.. Jo-
slab Sinclair. OF Bcnwo6b, addressed the
convention III behalf or Mr.. D,F. Neigh
on, OF Moundsvillo. Nlrtthe Iualincn-
lions for the Office are p,RiseRse1 By Mar
shnll's candidate, sallG Mr.. Sinclair.

nhall and adjoining cOuntirs.. II ,nml-
mated ind elected he Mill serve to tho
Subtraction OF nll tho people. Marshall

been properly recognized. lie plead for
his candidate for the sake of Justice,
MIR. MeiGhen's presentation was received
with APPLAUSE.
Mr.. w. NJ, Dunlap. of Ohio county.
was next heard and nominated
Mr.. William Ersklnc, OF Ohio. County
lines should not be c%ousldcrcd, fitness
FOR the Office should sway the convcn-
ton. Ohio county has threc-fourths of
tho entire business OF the judicial dis
trict. and for that reason II IL not too
much that Ohio county shall have both
Judges. Mr.. Erskine, hhsald, Is cnIors-
ell by the members Of the bar Of this
county, without regard tn politics.
Mr.. Harry Hooking, OF Ohio county,
seconded the nomination OF Mr.. Neigh
en-. Mr.. Daily, OF Ohio seconded the
nomination OF Mr.. lfcryey.
A ballot was then ordered. Hancock
delayed voting and Mr.. Hubbard object
cd to this playing for position" Mr..
bradley. OF Hancock, retorted sharply.
Mr.. Mcdonald, a Cameron delegate In
the Marshall delegation, objected to the
announcement Of Marshnll'H solid vote
for Mcighcn. Then followed Il long
dispute. In which the 'squabblc In Mar
shall county between the followers OF
Melghen and liooten was well aired,
Mclghen's supporters claimed they had
the'nOwcr to use the unit rule In the del
cEation. thus giving the county's thirty
votes to Mclghen. MIR. Sinclair said
there IL Il moral obligation on all Mar
shall delegates 10 support MciShen. Mr..
]. d. McFaddcn. Of, NloundSvllle. said
he would vote for who he pleased and
Marshall county did not W. him.
Unit Ituic Didn't Go.
Chairman DobbIns ruled that any nc
ton taken by the Marshall county COM
mIttee does not affect the rules OF the
convention. Delegates could vote as
they desired. A poll OF the delegation
was attempted, but as the figures OF the
vote by districts In the election OF 1921
were unknown there was considerable
confusion. Finally the vote was pro-
duccd and n poll OF the delegation made.
