THE SENATORIAL CONVENTION
WYATT OF HUMPHREYS NOMINATED,
A Lively Beginning but the Ending was
Harmonious.

The delegates from Benton, De-
catur, Hardin, and Humphreys
counties, composing the twenty
fourth senatorial district, met in
convention at Johnsonville Thurs
day, the Oath instant, and was
called to order by Hon, Fl. M.
Meadow, and, or motion, A. @.
McRae, of Benton, was made per-
manent chairman and w. H.
Meadow, Of Humphreys, and r.
R. Rogers, of Benton, secretaries.
S. L. Peeler, of Benton, w. M.
Holland, of Decatur, j. S. Hol-
land, Of Hardin, and J. @, Heel, of
Humphreys, were appointed a
committee on credentials and rep
resentation.
While this committee was max
ing up their report the convention
called on Hons. d. B. Thomas and
w. P. Morris, both Of whom de-
livered w6ll-timed Democratic talks
on the issues of the day.
The report Of the committee on
credentials was read, and on motion
was adopted.
The convention then proceeded
to ballot without nomination, and
the first ballot resulted as follows:
For w. 7. Wilkinson, of Hardin:
Benton 5, Decatur 9, Hardin II;
total rs. For G. M. Tubb, of Hum
phreys: Benton 6, Humphreys IA;
total 20.
The balloting continued under
what appeared as a deadlock, with
an occasional change, until the 10Th
ballot, when Hon. I. G. Wyatt, of
Humphreys, received the unani-
nous nomination.
After the 18th ballot Mr.. Wiki
inson withdrew, and the vote of
Decatur and Hardin counties was
cast solid for Hon. d. B. Thomas,
of Humphreys, who would have
received the unanimous nomina-
ton, but before the result Of the
ballot was announced he appeared
before the convention, and his
earnest appeal to bestow the honor
on some other citizen was needed,
as shown above.
Chairman A. G. McRae could not
be with the convention until final
adjournment, and on motion Mr.,
E w. L. Morris, of Benton, was elect
ed in his stead.
A resolution was adopted en-
dorsing the State and National
Democratic platforms and pledg-
E ing an undivided support to same
On motion Democratic Sena-
torial Executive Committee, was
appointed, composed of W. M. Hol.
land, chairman, Of Thurman, De,
: catur County; 7. B. Taylor, secre.
tary, Waverly, Humphreys Coun
ty; j, M. Lashlee, Camden, Bento1
County; W. T. Wilkinson, Saltillo
