Delegate Burchinal, of Marshall,
and Mr.. Moore, Of Tyler, question
ed the chairman as to the proper
mode oflprocedure in deciding the
the contest. Atthis juncture, CHR
man Curtin stated that the commit;
tee on credentials had recommend

resentatives, which work lin the
seven from Lincoln district, who
were turned down by the county
convention, be admitted as dele
gates.
Delegate %. w. o. Hardman, the
Tyler county stalwart, was given
permission to say! few words. He
was opposed to the admission of
