The temporary organization was
made permanent.
The committee on order of business
reported a rule for the chair to ap.
point committee Of five, who should
name the twenty delegates and they
be confirmed or rejected by the con-
vention. That was the signal for war
and the sport began Right merrily
it continued, and amidst numerous
substitutes and amendments, at each
lunge getting into deeper water, Leo
Vincent bobbed up with binding
resolution as follows
That the following ten lesser pre-
cincts vote together. Guthrie town
ship and the Eitth ward elect one
deleg6tS. Third and Fourth wards
choose l delegate, First and Second
wards elect l delegate, Springer and
Seward townships ] delegate, and
Iowa and Orlando ] vote, and all the
other townships 1 vote each, making n
total of 20 delegates
That gave each locality chance to
elect their own man and the plan met
with rush. The report was then
passed as amended and the report of
committee on resolution was allied
Mr. Vincent presented a cauatic plat
form which will be given space tomor-
row.
The last clause Of the resolution in-
structed the delegates to support +
Pulliam for the congressional conven-
tion. Vincent chairman OF the reso-
lutions committee, moved the adop-
tion OF the report The storm broke
afresh and it was moved to strike out
the last section Finally Mr. Vincent
!. ha nd hot
action was to be taken on Mr.. Pulliam
That be be given the Endorsement II
possible. This play was decidedly i'm
polite for him as it looked as though
the tide was running his way, but
finally the last clause carried by a vote
OF IS TO SO.
