Chairman Nettles then announced the
convention ready for temporary organlza-
ton. On motion s. A. Nettles was elected
temporary presidentand D. J. Bradham and
j. Ebert Davis. temporary secretaries. Mr..
Nettles very briefly thanked the convention
for the honor of re-electing him to preside,
and said he was pleased to note the indica-
tons that all had again come together as one
band of Democrats, and he hoped and be-
lieved the meeting would be pleasant and
harmonious. He then asked if there were
any delegations to be contested. There be-
ing no contests no committee on credentials
was appointed. On motion the temporary
organization was made permanent, and the
temporary officers were elected permanent
officers. The convention was then declared
duly organized for the transaction Of busi-
ness.
1t was thought that probably the Calhoun
Precinct club (Summerton) which had been
declared by the last convention not to have
been legally organized, would make an ef-
fort to be represented in this convention,
but no such effort was made.
Mr.. Nettles, as chairman Of the county
executive committee, reported that the clubs
(Antis) which had withdrawn from the last
convention were now represented on the ex-
ecutive committee, the duly elected member
from each of those clubs having appeared
at meeting of the committee held that
morning. On motion the election OF these
members of the committee was confirmed,
as follows:
Alcolu-E D Hodge.

ecutiye committee consist Of twenty-five

MIR. E. S. Harvin moved that the action of
the executive committee, in requiring can

ed, and that any Democrat be allowed to
become candidate, provided he was duly
youched for, and the same fees paid as the
