Seventeenth-Your committee has care
fully considered the proposition that this
convention should select it's nominees In
accordance with plan based upon what Is
known as the Australian ballot law. The
committee are of the opinion that 1t would
be unwise to attempt this new mode Of
convention voting for the first time in a
convention so large as that now assembled,
and that the plan proposed is not SUM-
ciently familiar to the delegates, to put in
operation at this time. And we recon-
mend that the chairman Of the convention,
before final adjournment shall appoint a
special committee to be composed Of five
members whose business 1t shall be to pre-
pare and propose to the county central
committee a plan of convention voting
based upon the Australian ballot law; and
that II found practicable, tina plan shall
be adopted by the county central commit
tee and to be recommended to the next
county convention.
The report was adopted without amend
ment.
