Lincoln was swept to the nomination on the crest of the "atop Seward" wave. William H. Seward of New York was tho favored candidate, but Lincoln was the second choice of many delegates. When the first ballot was taken in the Wigwam, a $5,000 wooden structure, built for the convention, Seward bad votes, while Lincoln bad 102. None of the other candidates bad more than BO, and nomination required 233. Tho second ballot gave Seward 184K and Lincoln 181. The third vote gave Lincoln 231H and Seward 180, leaving "Honest Abo" lacking ono and one-half votes to win. Ohio switched four votes and the "rail splitter" was launched on bis way to the White House. Not until the night before the convention bad Lincoln been seriously considered. Bujt it was then that the "stop Seward" movement reached it peak. A similar situation prevails today. Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt of Now York is riding high in the saddle, but there is a formidable obstacle in tho way of bis nomination in tho "stop Roosevelt" movement, beaded by former Governor Alfred E. Smith. Unless the two-thirds rule now in force is discarded before balloting begins, it Is almost certain that the Smith-Roosevelt antagonism will result in a deadlock, making it a comparatively simple matter for- dark horse to romp borne with the coveted nomination. living vith her father, Bill Mays, returned to home in Bandon re cently.
