E. B Jones introduced the follow
ing resolutions which were adopted.
Resolved, That each township del
egation elect as many delegates to
the State convention as it is entitled
to votes in this convention, and that
the delegate or delegates from each
township attending the State con-
vention may cast their proportional
part of the fifteen votes to which
forsyth county is entitled in the said

The township delegations then as
sembled together to select their dele

When the chairman called the con-
vention to order he said that he
thought the meeting would like to
hear from Mr.. Manly. There were
large calls for Mr. Manly and he res
ponded in a short but ringing Demo-
cratic speech and closed by calling
upon C. B. Watson.
Mr.. Watson traced the history of
the Democratic party, the origin of
the tariff taxes, and the national
banking system He attacked the
present financial system and declared
the tariff taxes and pensions which
take the money from the South end
dump it in the North to be reponsi-
BILE for the condition of affairs. He
discussed the outlook in the coming
campaign and took the ground that
these are good reasons to hope that
the party will control every depart
ment of the national government
after the fourth of next March,
He urged that the Democrats stand
together and touched upon the polit-
ical situation in North Carolina. He
predicted that certain principles that
are now held up as the panacea for
all the evils of the day will be forgot
ten within five years Hevigorously
attacked government ownership of
the railroads and declared that no
free country could own the railroads
and maintain it's liberty.
