ONE MEETING OR TWO ?
A QUESTION FOR THE COUNTY
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
To Decide at It's Meeting Next Saturday.
1t Win Also Consider the Sem
atOriaI Question.

The calling together of the county execu
tive committee of the Democratic party tc
meet at the city hall next Saturday at / 80
p m, IS to decide whether the Democrats
shall hold one or two county conventions
This being presidential year it will be
necessary to elect delegates to a state con.
vention that will select delegates to the
national convention. Now the question to
decide is this: Shall there be a county
convention solely to name the delegates to
this state convention to send delegates to
Chicago, and another to nominate county
ticket and appoint delegates to the state,
congressional and hOatorial nominating
conventions, or shall one county convention
do all Of this work9
The argument of the advocates of two
conventions is thus stated by H R. Early,
who is in favor of this plan: By confirming
the work Of selecting delegates to the pres
identlal convention to a body whose bust
ness shall begin and end with such work,
party lines may be more rigidly drawn. No
man can participate in this meeting unless
be can pledge himself to vote and act with
the Democratic party on national questions.
It is known that there are q great many Re-
pubicans in the South who vote their ma
tional party ticket in a presidential cleo
ton, but will not act with the class of
Republicans who run the state, congress
ional and county politics. They will readily
pledge themselves to vote the Democratic
ticket IN state and county contests, but not
as to the presidential contest For that
reason 1t is deemed best 10 hold two con-
ventions.
The objection to two conventions is that
the country people cannot give the time to
attend them during the busy season.
After disposing of this matter the execu-
tive committee will consider the advis-
ability Of calling primary meetings to take
the sense Of the Democrats of the county
On the senatorial contest, for the purpose
Of instructing Representatives Swayne and
Carter whom to vote for-whether Culber-
son, Mills or Chiffon.
