state convention at Great Falls.
The delegation from this county
was composed OF James Stonechest,

it's half vote each to Stewart and
George, to eighteen votes for Stew
art and one vote for George, this
one vote being Whiteside's. Hill

strength for the Billings man, Tet-
on, which originally had given
Stewart one vote, George one vote
and Whiteside six, now gave Stew
art six and George two"
