had IS and Prescott Smith 16 votes. Hon.
Charles w. Baker. a Bernard delegate, who
is a candidate for Governor next year, was
not present The announcement OF the re-
sule of this vote was followed by most dis
orderly demonstrations. The vote was first
announced as is for Bernard and IL for
Smith. The count was disputed at once
by the Bigelow men, who moved upon
Chairman Isaac Jordan with vengeance,
claiming that the vote was Is Tor smith

The Rev. H. s. Bigelow was in personal
charge of his forces and Bernard OF ms;
AS there were no seats each side could
easily get around it's leader on one side OF
the hall and then change TO the little ros-

ing. There was also much CONFUSION from
pushing and other demonstrations Inc
vote was finally verified as is for Bernard
and 10 for Smith. 1t appeared that Dele
gate koehl, who was elected as bigeiVw
delegate. had recorded for Smith. when ne
said he did not vote for either on account %he
other vote of the thirty-six IN
the First district was accounted
for by the absence of Baker
cred the Koehl and Baker votes as prac-
tically paired the Bigelow men insisted that
they would contest the election OF Bernard
to the last. and no resolution was made
to make his election unanimous.
In the Second district the Bernard slate
went through by Is to Is. with the exception
OF state committeeman, for which place
John q. Roth was elected over Michael
Delevaney by Is to Is. On motion Of Del
vaney. the Bernard man. the election Of
Roth was made unanimous. Roth was
stronger by one vote In his district IMAM
the other Bigelow candidates.
There were animated contests in other
districts, notably in the Third, where Frank
3; Breen; of Dayton, was not given a Sec sec
defeated by William +. Mason, OF Hamil-
ton. The latter has been considered as a
leader against the Peter Schwab faction
at Hamilton, and there We're some lively
scenes In the contest of this district.
In the Tenth district the first chairman
was elected from his position and another
chairman elected and installed amid much
excitement.
In the Twelfth district c. C. Philbrick.
director of public safety at Columbus, was
defeated by Fred j. Heer for state COM
mitteeman by 20 to IS. Heer was reelected.
The contest in this district was bitterly
fought out. Previous to the meeting OF
these delegates Mayor Tom l.. Johnson Wis
tied them and addressed them, making the
strongest possible plea for the election of
Philbrick
The most harmonious meetings of the
cNctlliS were those OIL the IWenlieln anu
Twenty-first districts, which include Cuya-
hoga county, the home of Mayor Johnson,
of Cleveland. The delegates of these dis
tricts completed their work in a few mo-
ments without dissenting. while other dis
trict meetings continued in session over
an hour and dissenters were loudly in evil
dence. The committees selected by dis
tricts were follows:
