ton; that all delegates should be nom-
mated from the floor and elected In

Romney about a portion of resolu-
ton introduced by the resolutions
committee which instructed the dele
gates to be elected, to support Senator
Wheeler for the presidency of the
United States.

both of these motions made by Mr..
Romney joined in by quite number

as chairman with fairness to all, was

not to wish to be put on the spot
on the question of their full, unequi-

mates were elected with the exception
