Senatorial Nominees. From the first there was every indication indica-tion that one woman would be given a place on the senatorial ticket, and as Mrs. Annie Wells Cannon was the only woman nominated, there was never a question but that her name would be placed on the ballot. The county districts dis-tricts insisted on being recognized, and named D. O. Rideout as their candidate. By a good share of the delegates Mr. Rideout's nomination was not questioned, but when the county split on the proposition propo-sition he was outdistanced by the city candidates. The big question was as to who would be the third candidate. E. B. Critchlow was picked by some, while others favored Elias S. Woodruff or Harry S. Joseph. Mr. Critchlow ran fourth and bothijoseph and Woodruff were nominated. All three senatorial candidates were nominated on the first ballot. Mrs. Cannon ran far e head of the other candidates, while Woodruff and Joseph slipped under the wire by small majorities. The vote was as follows: Mrs. Cannon, 352; Ellas S. Woodruff. 291; Harry S. Joseph, Jo-seph, 2771.: F. li. Critchlow, 254; D. 'O. Rideout, i03; Frank J. Hewlett, U'S; Ev-erard Ev-erard Bierer, &01;; Joseph Kiiubnll, 4 Si. Only One Ballot Needed. Twenty-two candidates for nomination for the 'lower house of the legislature were placed before the convention by en-l en-l husiaetic supporters, but the first ballot bal-lot was all that was necessary to sclert the ten representatives to which the countv is entitled.
