The Carlson forces were so anxious
to get at TIE big fight that w. L. Tru-
man OF Weld secured the focr and
placed Carlson in nomination before
that order of business had been reach
ell and called for. The mention of
the governors name sarted the ex-
citement and it never ended until the
final vote was announced and at times
IL became so entertain ng that. dozens
of delegates would lie standing in the
aisles shaking their fists at each 9th
er and calling each ctler 2 II the names
Iallowab,e in respectable convention
and some that void not have been
allowed could the chairman have pre-
vented it, The most serious time of
the afternoon was when the Denye-
delegation was being p He'd as be-
tween Carlson and Grlbb. Each dele
eate's raIe osl'ed aid the dele
gates were compelled II stand and
vote orally for their choice.

vote that the Carlson friends played
their greatest card. Led by E. E.

wa-ted. They secured an Individual
poll of the delegates. In doing this
they forced Let of state house en-
ployes and employees in the city hall
TO stand and vote. They didn't have
the nerve TO vote aga nst Carlson ami
the administraticn n and natlrs l'y voted
for him. The result wss that Carl
SON secured Ga and G; ;ubb IS out OF
the de ega;.on- II it had b en- taken
as the vote in the o;her counties
were taken. Carl on would have secur
ed about 2s and Grubh the rest and II
might have chaneed the inal result.
