proceedings that no candidate already

eligible for nomination on the labor
ticket.
Elton Enthusiastic for Hanson,
Chairman Elton was enthusiastic in
his advocacy of the nomination Of Han
son, citing the surprising fact that he
swore to complaint in the County At

would be a bitter contest over the mat
ter OF placing ticket in the field but
there was not a ripple OF real excite
ment, nor the slightest semblance Of a
contest from start to finish
The platform and resolutions are
about the same as are usually adopted
