called. Gen. Bragg announced that he was in
structed by the majority Of the Wisconsin
delegation to cast no vote. One OF the silver

that 10 delegates refused to vote. Senator
Money made the point Of order that instruc-
tions to delegation to vote as unit could not
stiAe the will OF any who desired to vote.
Gen. Bragg climbed on one Of the chairs OF
the Ohio delegation to protest. but the mad
dened Buckeyes ordered him down. New York

the will OF the Wisconsin delegation and was
replied to from the platform by Delegate

made a fiery protest against ruling which he
contended would practically abrogate the unit

The delegates grew still as Senator White
the chairman, finally ruled that the unit
rule instructions did not contemplate the re-
fusal of delegations to vote He ruled that
all silent votes should be considered absen-

desired to vote had right to have his vote
registered. This ruling was loudly cheered, as
1t blazed the way for an ultimate ruling that
the two-thrds required to nominate, within
the meaning of the rule, were two thirds Of the
votes cast according to the precedent of 1916.
