In calling he committee to order
Chairman Lorey made few timely re-
marks. He olined the work to be done,
and urged thithe committee act for the
Good of the PITY and not in the interest
+ of any man. lie said that besides nam
inc day fors primary to decide the
CongressiOnalisSue in the county, it
was the duty othe committee to decide
q who would bentitled to vote at the pri-
mary, and, shld any negro be allowed
to vote, to prcribe the requisites that
would entitle I'M to a voice in the pri-
mary.
As soon as e committee was ready
for business MI. w. Sears asked to be
seated as proxfor Mr.. c. F. Oxford.
DR.. ChappeIwas the first to get the
q attention of thehairman. He said per-
sonally he wou be in favor of seating
Mr.. Sears, but was serious question
in his mind it member of the commit
Tee had a right appoint proxy. He
considered the Ommittee a semi-oficial
body at least, all did not think that a
member was Empowered with the
right to delegate another that which
had been delegate to him by the people.
MI. Aven spoke the same line.
The committee thought that the an
p0lntment of proxis by members would
be bad precedentto establish, and the
motion to seat Mr.. ears was defeated by
a vote OF five to sewn.
DR.. Chappell INTRODUCED the following
resolutions:
