When the result was announced
vogel took the floor and, despite eff.
forts to denv him the opportunity t.
speak, finally gained q hearing. He
asked that, as 9 personal favor ia
him, the convention cast the Sc votea
which had been recorded for him
for Maddox. The breach between
the two factions of the Nonpartisan
League had not been helped any by
the result Of the balloting on the
gubernatorial endorsement, he said.
Senator Hamilton announced that
Mr.. Maddox did not want the en-
dorsement for the lieutenant COVER
norship and some one in the hall re-
taliatcd by shouting 1--WE don't want
him to have it,"
Vogel Immediately moved for a
10 minute recess but this was
changed to recess for dinner.
Maddox Declines
Resuming consideration Of can.
didates for the lieutenant governor
ship at the evening meeting, the
convention again got into difficulty
when a motion was made to unan-
imously endorse Vogel for the place.
Questions as to Maddock's attitude
finally brought the present lieuten-
ant governor to the platform.
Maddox asked to be excused
from running again., saying he has
had the place four years and his
county has had the honor Of the
lieutenant governorship for the
same length of time. The Nonpar-
tisan League owes him nothing,
Maddox said, whereas he is deeply
indebted to the league for the favors
it has s own him.
He asked that the honor be
passed along to some other county
and suggested that it. would 60 well

friend; and accept" he said. "You
should pass TIE honor along to some
other worthy Lacquer. He said he
had never asked for political pre-.
ferment, that he had been with the
Nonpartisan League from the first
and will continue to support it.
The only allegiance Of the dele
gates, he said, should be to their
people back home because the Non
partisan league owes no one any.
thing except the common people.
