to speak a word for Gilbert, and tnen

course of the current and also put IN
his second, and then the Secretary cast
the ballot of the convention for }. Il.
Gilbert for candidate for Lieutenant

Chairman Barlow then raised the
question of 1.-The soldier vote" and
asked how many old soldiers there were
