Tuesday. aad spent nearly four hours discussing
the question oi nominating. indorsing or pl:dg-
Ing candidates Cor the Legislature on the local
option question. :. Merryman Anderson was
president. Rev. George c. Bacon moved that
the temperance people make no nominations in

W IN. bantcl uNercd a Fuhttttute that they vote
for no candidate who would not pledge himself TO

for those who gave such pledge in preference 90
those who did not. irrespective Of party afiilia.
tion second. that the Alliance pledge themselves
10 use their influence to get the voters Of the
county pledged In accordance with the foregoing
resolution. and that every district should be thor
oughy organized for this purpose.
VIM. Grason was opposed 10 the resolutions as
holding out threat to both parties. lie favored
allowing the people 10 vote a. the election as TO
whether they wanted the question submitted, and
then see IL the candidates elected carried out the
will Of the majority.
DIR. Lcas favored keeping out Of the primaries
and holding a rod IN over the politicians.

been bamboozlcd long enough. and he op.
posed u selecting from the different party nomi-
necs. They had had pledges before, which were
not worth pinch Of snuff.

to the candidates before they received the nomi.
nation. On accoun; Of the big liquor interests in
and around Baltimore he favored taking n vote at
the general election. where there would be n
check upon fraud. and IL /; were carried there il
would DO an instruction the legislator dare not
disobey.
Rev. Mr.. Bacon offered a substitute for Mr.
Daniels first resolution. that the members Of the
Alliance in each district every effort 10 secure
the pledge of voters 90 support only those candi-
dates for the Legislature who were in favor Of
submitting the question.
Mr.. Griffith was opposed 10 this course, rs de-
barring members from participating in the pri.
maries Of their own party. and would refuse TO
be bound by any such resolution u passed.
