much confusion. There were loud cries

mani" and other similar cries from
the Fowler men in the body of the

thusiasm and MAINTAIN order.
Lloyd Gets Nomination.
Trouble arose in. the First district
because of the absence of some of the
delegates and there was a wrangle
over how the vote should be cast. The
difficulty was settled b. casting three
votes for Fowler and three for Lloyd.
The result of the ballot was then an
nounced by Judge Powers There
were 5S1 votes cast; necessary to a
choice, 271. b. r. Lloyd received 27S
and A. s. Fowler received 259.
This announcement was received by
the convention with wild demonstra-
tiona- The fight had been the closest
of the convention. The withdrawal of
Little. Scare and Young, all in favor
of Lloyd, gave the Fowler men the
impression that a deal had been made
against Fowler during the night and
his friends fought against this with
desperation They felt their defeat all
the more keenly because they were
satisfied that if another ballot had been
taken the night before their man would
have certainly won.

announcement of the ballot had sub
