Before the foregoing report of the
committee was adopted j w. Salter
made protest that the representation
was unfair and that the rule Of one dele
gate for every 50votes or major fraction
thereof cast for Mckinley in 1900 had not
been followed and cited the following
example In 1900 Halsey gave Mckinley
l07 votes whereas since then the town
of Bern has been set off and the village
of Atehns Incorporated and the whole
are given six delegates. The states basis
of representation had not been followed
by the county committee and he deemed
/ it unfair. The report was adopted not
withstanding Salter's protest by
rising vote of 81 to 3.

ination the following as delegates to
the state convention; F. f. Damon,
H. j. Blanchard, b F. Mcmillan, Philip
Menzner, VIM, Rifieman, Ferdinand
Sellin, John Prehn, G. w. Harris,
Erlet Koch, and the motion was sec
onded by b. F. Mcmillan Salter then
protested against the election of dele
gates except by ballot and was sup
ported by Dave Sullivan The latter
was ordered off the floor because
he was not delegate. b. f.
] Mcmillan then moved to amend
Salter's motion by inserting a re-
quirement of the delegates to march
up to the desk aud deposit their ballots
as names were called and the nire re-
ceiving a majority to be declared
