When the second ballot began 1t was ap-
parent that the Hogate and Haggard
forces were beginning TO scatter. Colonel
Dodge also seemed TO be losing some votes
on this ballot, while Grifhths and Durbin
began to show steady gains. Marion coun-
ty gave Griffiths the same vote-a solid one
with the exception OF the delegate who
voted for Durbin. In the Montgomery
county delegation. on the second ballot,
Griffiths gained four. This is Governor
Mounts county. II had been understood
that this county would at the proper time
come out solid for Mr.. Grifiths. and SUBJ
sequent developments showed that 1t did.
On the first ballot its vote was divided
among nearly all Of the candidates. On
the second ballot Benton county, which
cast its first vote solid for Haggard. being
a part Of his district. gave him only seven
and gave Grifiths and Hogate one each.

audience joined in singing. At the close OF
the hymn telegram was handed to the

as follows:

With the uncontested places out of the

for nomination for reporter of the Supreme

names of Jesse w. Weik, Leroy w. Nash
and Charles F. Remy (present incumbent
of the office) were placed in nomination.
and then began a contest which proved al
most as interesting and exciting as that
for the gubernatorial nomination.
When Marion county was reached in the
call of the roll for votes the first real
trouble was started. The instant the coun-
tvs vote was announced by Chairman
Harry B. Gates, Ed Logsdon jumped to his
feet and cried out excitedly. II challenge

several other delegates and in a few min

1t was with great difficulty that Acting
Chairman Watson was finally able to se-
cure a call Of the roll of the entire Marion
county delegation, 116 in number. The call
had not proceeded far, however, when
Senator Hawkins raised the question that
a proxy is not legal unless It contains a
revenue stamp. The chair decided against
him on this point and the roll call pro-

he was still Republican and he said he

The bill was then withdrawn and the
House took recess until 4.50 l.. M.
During the recess the members congre-

their duty and the President had re-

The clerk then read long list Of

President. The House listened impa-
tiently. The title of the last bill, "A
Bill for the Relief of Andrew Jackson"
aroused roar of laughter.
