a total Of 636 votes. The strongest

received 274 votes on the first ballot
and 418 on the second ballot.

The convention up to this time had
run smoothly and without the slight
est friction. It was decided to make
Mr.. Palmore the. vice presidential
nominee and he was named by accla.
nation. He declined to accept the Of
flee, however, and persisted in his IT.
titude despite the strong urgings of
his friends. The convention, finding
itself confronted with the necessity of
naming another vice presidential can.
didate and many Of the delegates lie.
ing anxious to catch the early night
trains for their homes, became in.
volved in deep parliamentary tan.
GLE. The rules were several times
suspended and the suspensions imme.
diately revoked. Finally it was de.
cided that Prof. Aaron S. Watkins OF
Ada, Ohio, should be named by accla.
nation. There was no opposition to
him at the moment, and Chairman
Charles Scanlon was on the verge of
declaring Prof. Watkins the nominee
when delegates in various parts of the
hall broke in with flood Of motions,
counter-motions, amendments and sus.
pensions of the rules.
Watkins Nominated.
An extended debate followed, which
finally resulted in the restoration of
the rules and ballot for the vice
presidency. Three men were named
Prof. Watkins, T. B. Demaree of Ken.

ana. The ballot resulted in the nomi.
natio NOT Prof. Watkins by an over.
whelming majority, and he was i'm.

the Kentucky delegates, made the
unanimous choice Of the convention.
Both the presidential and vice presi
Dental nominees are candidates for
governor in their respective states on
the Prohibition tickets.
The forenoon session Of the conven.
ton was devoted to the discussion
and adoption of a brief platform,
which is probably the shortest on rec.
ord, containing not more than $50
words.

 Personal and General.

Ensley, February 10.-(Speeial)- J.. J. Odom was thrown from his buggy this afternoon and sustained very serious in- iuries. He was driving from Birmingham by way of the county road and when nearing the sharp turn at McWilliams spring his horse became unmanageable and dashed down the road at a rapid gait. Making quick turn the buggy left the road, throwing pr. Odom complete ly out. He fell with much force on his head, rendering him unconscious. As- sistance was promptly on hand and he was removed as quickly as possible by Echols X Angwin's ambulance to the Cunningham hospital, where it was found he had several severe cuts on the head and face, and was also paralyzed on the left side. While there are no frac- lures. it is feared the paralysis is caused by the bone pressing the brain; at a late hour he was still in a semi-con- scious condition. Dr. Odom recently moved to Ensley from Little Warrier with the intention of making this his permanent home, havnig purchased the residence of Dr. N. c. Clark on Avenue F and Twenty fourth street. He has many friends here and at Warrior who will regret to learn of his accident.
