General McAlpin called the conven-
ton TO order and asked for the reports
OF the committees. The committee on
credentials was not ready. and the
committee on rules and order Of bust
ness reported. The committee on
league work was unprepared. but
Chairman Mcintyre outlined what the
work would be. and IL was moved TO
adopt the outline and allow the report
10 be made To the executive commit
tee later. Dick Wood of South Dakota
then read the report OF the commit
tee on credentials. The committee on
resolutions not being ready, the con-
vention proceeded 10 the election of
q president. and the roll OF states was

mate Charles u. Gordon. There was a
great demonstration when Mr.. Cal
houn ceased speaking. Lafayette
Young of Des Moines and Mr.. Stau-
baugh seconded the nomination of Mr..
Gordon. Webster Davis of Kansas
City nominated ID. d. Woodmansee of
Ohio. and the applause from the Nc
Alpin supporters indicated that the
New Workers. favored the Ohio man. A
flood of seconding speeches followed.
and then the convention proceeded to

The vote was so close that on the
fate Of Arizona. whose vote was chal-
lenged, depended the result of the cleo
ton. The chairman finally threw out
the vote. but New Jersey changed to
Woodmansee. and he was elected. There
was great excitement and the SER
