KNOX GETS N0MINATl0N
ON THE FOURTH BALLOT

At 2:15 o'clock G. S. Holmes made an
Intellectual attempt to call the conven-
ton to order. He might as well have
tried to quiet the waves on Great Salt
lake. The scene before him was one
greatly resembling the New York stock
exchange on q panicky day. Men and
women were standing up talking and
shouting and gesticulating wildly.
Ones voice could not be heard above
the din and commotian. After pound
ing loud and long for~order. the chair
man received a semblance Of quiet.

the din by playing a melody of airs.
When the same had been concluded
it was announced that the credentials
