While there were a half dozen other candidates candi-dates for governor the cea men claimed everything with such costS dence that they undertook to be snag nanimous In minor parts although they nanmous mnor pars tey were at the same time careful that the star candidate was not eclipsed They state early In the day that the first ballot would have none ot the second choice vote for cLean that none of the reserves would be called out till the second ballot and that l the candidates would have their respe Ue votes on the first ballot In this play IcLenn was nominated on the frt ballot by a half vote and the figuring was so close that the dramatic dra-matic scene of changes on the second ballot with second choice reserves tlckings to cLeans standard did not take place I Is claimed that McLean could have had 478 vote out of the 8o on the frt ballot instead of 4O and that he would have had over 510 on the second ballot At any rate the delegates all voted fog their local favorites fa-vorites on the frt ballot and thus the progmme complimenting them was carrie out without the leader drawing draw-ing from any of his competitors Confidence of Mcan Men After the adoption of the majority report on credentials the lcLean inca felt that they could make any play on the balloting that they desired The vote of 39 to 34 in defeating the ml norly report on credentials was the hardest fight the Ican men had during dur-ing the day a they were then without the ffysix contested votes from CUY ahoga count and on that vote they could not have made a nomination Even without the Cuyahog vote they had 395 votes on the adoption or the majority report on credentials andy that was only seven short of enough to nominate Among the shrewdest plays In the drama was the motion to amend the re I pert on permanent organization so a to continue the temporary organization organiza-tion and this corrected the only stipulation stip-ulation that the IcLean manaer made last night at the meeting of the committee Judge Mooney made such a god 1m pression that all wanted him for permanent per-manent chairman and the amended report re-port also continued for secretary Thomas Thom-as J Cogan the friend of McLean and shut off the a t 1F man who ha u named In the report for sergeant atams Delegates Were Boisterous Theconventjon much of the time was beyond control of thesergeantat arms and his assistants The conven ton was properly represented in Its platform and its keynote speech or Judge Mooney The name or Bryan was cheered whenever It was mentioned mention-ed The convention

4 P m was taken to confer with Jude Klbue for second place on the ticket and the recess was continued In vain till S pin P-in for that purpose When the convention con-vention reassembled there were efforts to nominate Kilbourne notwithstandIng notwithstand-Ing his repeated declinations and his friends withdrew his name as fast as the IcLean men presented I The opening prayer was by the Rev 1 F Kearney Catholic He prayed for the deliverance of the Filipinos from the brute force now being Inflicted upon them The prayer was so radical and forcible forci-ble throughout that It brought forth round of most vociferous applause Judge Mooneys Speech Judge Yo P Mooney temporary chairman of the convention was Introduced Intro-duced and he received a great ovation speaking as follows There will
