ness incident to a great convention
was transacted. VIM. F. Carter was
appointed chairman Of the committee
on resolutions.
In the evening the committee re-
ported. There were two reports. a
majority report and minority re-
port. They We're alike except that
the minority report did not endorse
the administration of Gov. Scofeld.
The fight over the report was bitter.
1t was the real contest between the
opposing forces. Ii was won by the
scofeld men in the adoption of the
majority report by vote of 64S TO
416.
After that there was no doubt as to
the choice of the convention for gov
ernor. The first ballot nominated
Gov. Scofield by plurality of 1874
votes.
The platform adopted is claimed by
the LaFollette men to be their plat
form. II 90 all parties ought to be
suited. One got their platform, the
other their candidate. The Herald
will publish the platform later.
The rest Of the ticket is given in an
other column.
