vote that was cast for him. Their success was marvellous. The vote which MT Lowe received was perhaps astounding to himself, as he had never made a very active canvass.
 Required Two Hours.
 The taking of the first and only ballot required two hours of time. When the call of counties was complete various counties began to change their votes, causing much confusion. Chairman Tay- Tor was not disposed to transact business in the confusion, and he was kept con- stantly busy begging the delegates to remain in order. Before the vote was announced the name of W. L. Martin was withdrawn. and this served as a cause for more confusion.
 Chairman Taylor Was Disguised.
 Chairman Taylor became disgusted, and his disguest was disgusting to the mem bers. The delegates were yelling and de- manding an announcement of the vote, and the chair considered a motion to have the convention order the vote closed This simly enraged many of the dele gates, and they began to demand of the chairman that he announce the vote. The chairman finding it impossible to restore order, sat down in his chair. At this juncture Robert J. Lowe arose just in front of the chairman, and demanded dI announcement OI the vote. ne CfldlI asked if MT. Lowe was delegate, receiv- ing the reply that while not delegate he was a candidate and was demanding his rights. There was more cries of vote ''vote," "question," question" and Chairman Taylor again took his seat Tom Hefin of Chambers mounted the railing in front of the platform, and said as delegate he demanded an announce ment of the vote. MT. Hef1in fired some heavy volleys at the chairman, saying that the vote should be announced in or der that trading upon the floor might be stopped.
 MT Webb of Marengo rushed upon the platform and held a hurried consultation with the chairman. He then called for quiet which was restored, and the chair announced the vote as follows:
