Many Seconding Speeches.
Seconding speeches followed the
nOmiRa TORS and it was after o'clock
when the taking of the first ballot was
begun.
Because OF the large number OF can
didates in the field the count was very
slow Delegates improved the oppoT-
tUnity TO leave the hall and less than
half the representation was present
during roll call. Many went to their
homes for dinner in the firm conviction
that they would have sufficient time
to partake of the meal and return 10
the hall In ample time to learn the re-
suit of the ballot.

was recognized by Vice Chairman San
ders, who welded the gavel during
part o. the afternoon Mr.. Game pro-
posed a vote Of thanks to Chairman r.
w. Sloan for his great work during the
convention. Somebody offered TO
amend il 10 include the other officers

be filled. Mr. Page was next highest
