committee together and lay the dis
crepancy before it. Obviously, Case
was not regularly chosen and it is
quite likely that his credentials will
be invalidated upon a showing that he
failed to receive the necessary ma
jority of votes as announced.
The vote for Case was as follows:
Chautauqua, 1 Elk, 4 Labette, IS;
Montgomery, 10; Neosho, IS; Wilson,
II. Total. So.
After the secretary of the conven-
ton, J. w. Holdren of Montgomery
county, had announced the result of
the balloting, stating that Case had
received 66 votes, a motion was made
to make the action of the convention
unanimous and 1T carried. This will
not right the error, it is said or give
to Case the necessary majority.
