The Potter Resolution.
The Democrats Who Opposed u, and Why
They Did So.

WASHINGTON, May lS.-Stcpbens,
of Georgia, was present in the hall
early in the day, but would not
vote, and lett the hall in disgust. 1t
had been expected that Stephens
would lead revolt within the Dem.
Ocratic ranks, but it transpircd to.
tday that Stephens was originally in
favor Of the investigation, and that
the cause of his dissatisfaction was
that he was not consulted by the
caucus committee about the intro.
dnction Of the resolution.
Leopold Morse, of Boston, who
voted against the passage of the
resolution, gives "a an explanation
OF his vote that Boston being a city
of capitalists, a portion Of whose
people are his constituents, they are
opposed to opening the presidential
question; hence he east his vote to
meet the views of his capitalist con.
stituents. He is little Boston tai.
Tor himself, and this is about the cx.
tent Of his breadth Of statesman.

Mills, of Texas, who also voted
against the resolution, did so be.

party gambled with the Republicans

and Hayes being the outcome Of
the stake put up by the Rcpubti.

to assemble at this place on the
third Monday in August tOnominatc
candidates for the uncxpircd term of
the late Judge Leonard and also for
the full term in the next Congress
from this district. The call will be
found in another column. Our
Democratic contemporaries arc re.
qucstcd 10 publish this call. No Ia.
SIS Of representation could be fixed
by the chairman, but it is suggested
that one delegate he appointed fol
every loo votes cast for Governor
i'll 1916, and one fraction over 30.
The convention VIII bc free to fix
the basis when it ASSEMBLIES, but the
suggestion OF Judge Richardson is
both fair and just to all .hc par,
ishcs.
We hope the several parishes will
I've fully and wisely represented.
There Will be a big effort at the next
election, by the Radicals, to carry
the next N!o"Sc Of Representatives.
