"Resoloed. That We heartily endorse the
acts of the present Democratic state admin
istration in each and every particular, and
especially commend the governor in his
action in standing by the constitution in
calling al extraordinary session OF the
Legislature for appOrti0nment purposes. "
w. U Hensei moved to amend by strik
ing out the sin each and euery particular"
and lie said that if anybody called for his
reasons for such motion he was prepared
to give them. He would not be misunder-
stood as desiring the convention to with
hold from the Democratic state admins
tration frank and full endorse
ment of its general course and
for the resolution as he pro-
posed to amend it he was willing aud
anxious to vote. There might be those
who approved OF the course Of the admin
istration as comprehensively as the resO
luton expressed it, but he did not believe
that any Democratic official, local, state Or
national, had ever merited such an un
qualified and sweeping endorse
ment from representative body.
1t was not fair to the Democrats
of the county to ask them to vote for such
q resolution and it was not fair to the
administration to have it voted down.
Because he did not believe that any con
vention should 60 80 far and make such
detailed and deep reaching endorsement Of
each particular act of any public official, he
proposed the amendment and would be
glad to support the resolution with the
words he desired to except stricken out.
Mr.. Hensers motion was unanimous sly
adopted and the resolution as amended
was passed.
The convention then adjourned.
