The Elgin National Watch Company is not planning to close down
its Lincoln plant, according to a statement by Lincoln Mayor Clark

"Rather the Elgin Company is now engaged in expansion that is
expected to result in more volume of work in Lincoln's plant," he said.
Speculation about the closure of the plant began after Sen. Dirk

Nebraskan Reporter
At the most crucial point of the
Mock Political Convention ballot
ing Friday, the Democratic states
bolted the convention, takine 19
states with them to hold conven
tion in the Coliseum balcony.
Dwight Eisenhower was then
elected by the delegation left on the
floor, as presidential candidate,
and Senator Henry Cabot Lodge
(R-Mass) became the vice presi
dential candidate by acclamation.
The convention in the balcony
unanimously elected Senator Estes
Kefauver (D-Tenn) for their presi
dential candidate, and Senator
Richard Russell (D-Ark) as his
running mate. The seceding dele
gations then adopted the platform
of the Young Democrats.
Tom Henderson, Texas delega
tion chairman stated that "the bolt
was simply in protest of a very
slight majority of Eisenhower over
Kefauver." He added, "The main
gripe that touched off this bolt tvas
the fact that there were irregulari
ties in delegations of several Re
publican states, such as Pennsyl
vania which was voting 32 votes
with only seven delegates present,
completely flaunting the rules rf
the convention, which state that
delegations must have two-thirds
of their delegation present to be
entitled to their absentee votes."
At the time of the bolt which was
after the fourth ballot, Eisenhow
er was leading Kefauver, 298 to
210. As convention rules stated that
a two-thirds vote was necessary to
elect a presidential nominee, a mo
tion was made immediately to re
vise the rules to require a simple
majority to elect the candidate.
Republican delegation chairmen,
Jim Hyink, New York, and Louis
Schultz, Wisconsin, both agreed
that the bolt had unfortunate conse
quences to the procedure of the
convention but that the Democrats
had no other choice when the mo
tion to change the rules to a simple
majority was presented.
Following the bolt, the problem
of either group having a quorum
remaining to resume balloting was
acute. Roll was taken in the floor
convention and the secretary re
ported that a quorum was pres
ent. Jin Wengert, chairman of
California, however, stated,

It will also space out heavy ad

After the first supplement has
been published, the committee on
student publications will consider
the possibility of publishing four
additional supplements throughout
the remainder of the year, W. C

Board, said.

extra-legally after the democratic

us had a quorum. We had as much

following convention procedure was

retary, the delegates believed they

Freddy, and Joyce Fangman, Mrs.

The play, one of Shaw's most
celebrated works, concerns a

by improving her speech.
The transformation takes placa

a few more complications than he
had intended.

He was the student who produced
the medieval morality play for the
