Sentatives and offered this as an
amendment to the motion Moffat ac-
copied the amendment After Harold
Sleater and others had spoken against
the entire proposition, Smith moved
that the motion be tabled. The cOnven-
ton thought this was the easiest way
out OF the difficulty. and Smiths mo-
! ton carried practically without dissent.
When nominations for legislative posi-
lions we're called for Judge Powers was
the first speaker In a neat talk he
placed the name of Mrs. E. NJ Cohen
before the convention. At the close of
his remarks he asked that Mrs. Cohen
be nominated by reclamation There
was considerable objection and Judge
Powers motion was lost. Later, how
ever Oscar Van Colt moved a recon

Long and Tedious Ballot.
The ballot was a long and tedious
one 1t began at $50, and was not com
pleted until after IL, and many of the
delegates had left the hall long before
the roll call was completed.
When the ballot was finished Nor
us Sommer moved that the rules be
suspended and the eight having the
highest votes be declared the nominees
of the convention.
H A Smith took strong grounds
against this He wanted the very best
men before the convention nominated;
If they We're not, the legislative ticket
would go down to defeat and take the
county ticket with it.
There was so much opposition that
Mr. Sommer withdrew his motion. Del
eSates Ferguson moved that precincts
! and country be grouped if another bal
lot were taken. This motion carried
Joseph NJ. Cohen moved that three
extra tellers be appointed to assist in
tabulating the vote. The motion car
RED, and Mr. Cohen, Mr.. Felt and Mr.
