The following presented by w. A. Redd, was
unanimously adopted:
We, the executive committee of the democratic
party. OF the county Of Lafayette, deem it adj
vlsable to urge the democratic voters of the
county to be careful and prudent in all actions
they Inay take with the view OF expressing their
choice for the nominees Of The party in the en-
sning fall election. The mode of selecting can
cordancc with the known views of the party,
and in a way that gives every individual demo-
crat the power OF expressing his will undetcrred
think it unwise and traught with danger to the
party for any combination to be made within
the party to influence or forestall the will Of the
party as 1t shall then be made known. AS deIp-
ocrats let US act tremendously and be united in
the one purpose only of presenting to the voters
