other their votes alternately, wss only HIP. It was also generally understood this morning that C. l.. Haley, the Banks delegate from Walker, who on last Friday afternoon broke the Banks-Miller combina- tion, and who was so bitterly attacked by r. S. White for this action on Saturday would vote with the Ward-C Coleman comb.n- ation. He did this, running the vote up from HIP to 1912. This big vote was to be delivered to Ward and Coleman on all ternating ballots and it can be readily seen that candidate who could get .39 of a vote from either Banks or Miller, would receive the nomination. Coleman was the fortunate candidate of the two, receiving Masterson's vote of .59 and with it the nomination of circuit judge.
 Vote of the Delegates
 The delegates voted as follows: For Coleman-Lowe, Bowman, Gregg, Garrett- son. Musgrove C1S) and Powell (.10 of the Coleman delegation; altman, bush (.46), Hagood, Mcqueen for Hanby, Haley Ap- bling (.6O, Johns, Johnston, Mountjoy, Huggins (6D, Roden for O'Rear (6D, Ro- den, Walker, Waldrop and Ward (.3D of the Ward delegation, and c. l.. Haley and Mas terson (59) of the Banks delegation
 The following voted for Banks:. Thach for Allen Ellis, Garrett, Gordon, Hillhouse, Houston, Loveman, Porter (S9), Redus for Tanner and White, all of the Banks delega- ton, making total of 9.S9.
 The following voted for Miller: Black burn, Bradley, Drennen, Floyd, Julian (2D, Jackson, Lollar, Moore (.73), Paine (.4D and Shores, all of the Miller delegation, making total of 8.35 votes.
 The session yesterday morning was comparatively short one. Chairman Powell rapped the convention to order at 10:50 and immediately the Ward delegation asked for ten minutes to consult.
 When they returned the proxies of one or two of the delegates were passed upon and tellers were selected. R. l.. Blanton (05), a Banks delegate from Winston, was the only delegate not present and not rep resented by proxy. The balloting then began. As the tellers were calling off the result nearly every delegate in tn conven- tion was intent on the tally sheets and when 1t became certain that Judge Coleman had the majority of the votes, Redus moved to make his nomination unanimous, which was done with forty-four rousng "ayes." The convention then adjourned at 11:45 sine die.
 Judge Coleman's delegates did splendid work for him. Although there were only six of them representing 432 votes, they did their work well as the results of tho convention will testify. They were Yowe, chairman; Bowman, Gregg, Garrettson, Musgrove and Powell.
