to place their names on the ballots at the
primary and to abide by the majority vote
OF the ward. This had been done and a
large majority of the voters had expressed
q preference for him. Mr.. Benin pleaded
that 1t would be manifestly unfair for the
convention to !gnore the expressed wish
Of the voters Of the Second ward by refus-

the roll call came It was put through
without any regard for South Omaha and
