Ca barrus has il votes in the convention, The nominations of Chief Justice Walter Clark, Associate Justice Piatt D. Walker and Corporation Commis sioner Hency C. Brown, to succeed themselves, -will be only a matter of form, the recent primaries having set tled tneir nominations. The real interest of the convention centres on the Allen-Manning contest for Associate Justice and the Graham-Lee-Pearson contest for the six-year-term for corporation commissioner. . The outcome of these contests can not be predicted with any degree of accuracy as quite a large number of oountjss failed to instruct their dele gates. The Manning-Allen contest however will be settled on the first ballot there being only two candidates. The man agers of both candidates claim their man will receive the nomination, bas ing their estimate on their knowledge of the uniestructed delegations. As there are three candidates for the six-year term of Corporation Com missioner, the contest may be a long drawn-out affair. Rev. W. H. Hiller 111 of Typhoid Fever. A card received by Mrs. W. H.
