long and exciting The subcommittee, through
Horace Davis, chairman, TO which was referred
the case Of the contesting delegation from the
first Georgia district reported, declaring that
the committee considered only the proceedings
In the district convention as bearing on the
prima facie case OF the two parties and did not
20 into the merits Of the split prior TO that con-
vention. They find the proceedings OF that
convention Of an irregular and turbulent char
acter, with very conflicting evidence as to its
merits, but the committee deemed on the
whole that prima facie case was with Alex
ander n. Wilson and Laurinus Blue and their
alternates. Mr.. Deveaux moved an amend
ment that the matter be referred to the COM

placed on the rolls Lost. Mr.. Deveaux then

commended that neither Sayres nor Venting
be placed on the rolls This would leave Mr..
West as the only delegate from the district
whose seat is not contested. The committee
reported that neither Sayres nor Venting
had been properly elected. Senator Jones
asked II the committee intended to disfraL-
chise the district. Mr.. Magee thought as the
