tion element. A ballot was taken
on the nomination which resulted in
IS votes for Morrison against 18 for
Converse. This tie vote caused Some
thing of a sensation among the
members, and another ballot was
ordered which resulted exactly in the
same way, it being apparent
that there was a dead lock in the
committee, it was agreed that
the tenyxirary chairman, Mr. Hay,
should act as chairman during the
formation of the platform, but that
when the work was done the commit
tee should elect a permanent chair
man whose duty it will be to present
the resolutions to the convention.
A chat with a member of the anti
larilf wing of the committee elicited
the information that the representa
tives of the states f North Carolina,
Alabama, Mississippi and Missouri
had voted for Converse. The anti
tarilf people had relied upon these
\*otes and had expected that with a
full committee the vote would stand
15 to I”! in favor of Mr. Morrison.
