WON'T HAVE ALL THEIR OWN WAY.
They will find out. however, that they
won't have things all their own way this

democracy to success.

advocating aud securing the adoption OF
the primary system in Chatham county as
permanent institution.
The meeting was called to order by Justice
Frank MoDermott, who was unanimously
elected chairman. Harry Willink was made
secretary. Justice McDermott explained
the object Of the meeting BY stating that it
had been called for the express purpose of
preparing some kind Of u resolution to be
presented and read at the democratic mass
meeting Monday night, urging upon the
party the vital necessity and benefit Of hav-
ing primaries instead OF mass meetings to
nominate candidates for offices in the future.
All present were in favor Of primaries.
Before the meeting was adjourned consid-
cradle discussion was had relative to the
craftsmanship Of the democratic executive
committee. Henry Green led 1t. He said
that hitherto it had been the custom for the
chairman to elect the committee. He wants
the committee elected by the people and the
chairman selected by the members of the
committee.
An animated discussion followed on the
question between Henry Green, C.. A. Vet
ter, John J. McHugh. E. A. Leonard, JUS
tice Sam Reynolds and Others.
Finally committee of two from the
First and Fourth districts, consisting of Al
derman Mcclure, s. McEnenany, John Pow
ers and Henry Green, was appointed to draft
resolution favoring primaries and to pre-
sent it to the meeting Monday night.
