Whereas, The Central Executive Commit

3uth MT, adopt Il series of resolutions pro-
vldlng for tie nomination of candidates for
the offices OF District Judge and District
Attorney of TIE district composed! OF the
parishes of Latnurche and ASSUMPTION, NV
primary election and whereas. we disap-
prove ofthc course pursued by said commit
tee. for the following reasons, viz:
!. Recansc the District Executive Com
miftee, of which the Hon. +. Amed6c Tctc
is Chairman. has been entirely disrcgardrd,
anu has not been consulted as to the man
nor OF nominating candidates tor district
offices a power heretofore contided solely
to that body.
= Because it is an attempt to inaururate
a system for rhe selection of candidates for
the district never here ,ofore adopted. and
this without consulting the wishes of the
people of this parish, who have always
been satisfied with the nomination of can
didates by a district convention composed
of delegates selected by their respective
parishes.
s.. Because the delegates to he elected
at the primary election are pledged in adj
vance TO supnnrt and vote in convention
for the candidate for District Judge or Dis
trict Attorney las the case may bel if tho
plan suggested by the Lafolrche Central
Executive Committee. in permitting Tie
various candidates for said offices to be
voted for at the primary election he adj
opted, thereby preventing said delegates
from acting freely aud intelligentTy in con.
ventinn therefore.
BE ii rcs0ired, That we repudiate the ac-
ton of the Central Executive Committee
of the parish of Lafnurclie. anil hereby an
nounce our determination to nominate by
convention. as heretofore. and through
delegates "npiedged. the various candidates
for the offices of District Judge and District
Attorney of the Twentieth Judicial District
as also the candidates for the Senate from
the district composed of the parishes of
Terrehonne, Lafourche and Assumption
provided. however, that IN default of any
action being taken either by the District
Executive Committee or by mutual agree
lnent between the two parishes to adopt
such plan as VIII further the wishes of this
parish and as will be in accord with settled
usage, then the Central Executive Commit
tee shall be and it is hereby authorized to
adopt the system of primary election for
the nomination of candidates for the offices
OF District Judge and District Attorney,
provided said committee see fit so 20 do;
and in that event the delegates this day
chosen shall not meet in conventions. and
their duties as delegates shall thereby
ipso fnet0 cease.
