number of votes was immediately voted for again and he bhe vote was made unanimous by the delegates present also after all the nominations were madette ma dethe secretary wrote out the ticket and it was again voted on ard and made unanimous and every delegate went home apparently well satisfied satis ded with the ticket nominated tickets were ordered by several of the precincts from the local job press at huntington and they were headed as aa they should be the peoples ticket it was but a few days after the convention that it was rumored that mat the ticket was not satisfactory to the people but when the question was asked who does it not satisfy it was traced to some of theold the old officers who had not been by the delegates who went to the convention instructed ted by the people who
