The convention closed tonight, after
|d3y or dramatic plays. While there were
Fl half dozen other candidates for Govern
Il or the Mclean men have Gained every
Enug with such confidence that they un-
Edrtook TO be magnanimous In minor
parts although they were at the same time
careful that the star candidate was not
|cdpsed.
They stated early in the day that the
first ballot would have none of the "the
second choice" vote for Mclean, that
none of the reserves would be called out
I'LL the second ballot and that all the
candidates would have their respective
votes ON the first ballot. In this play
Mclean was nominated on the first bal
10, by a half vote, and the figuring was
so close that the dramatic scene of
Fl changes on the second ballot, with "sec-
ond choice reserves focking to McLean's
standard. did not take place
McLenn's Hardest Fight.
After the adoption of the majority re-
port on credentials, the Mclean men felt
that they could make any play on the
banoung that they desired. The vote of
$50 to 5u in defeating the minority re-
port on credentials, was the hardest fight
the Mclean men had during the day as
they were then without the ffty-six con-
tested votes from Cuyahoga county, and
&on hat vote they could not have made
i domination.
