Delegate Cromer moved that the pc
tition be granted.
Delegate J. S. Hair wanted to know
the reasons for the formation Of this
new club.
Delegate J. +. J. Caldwell said that
he did not suppose that the Democrats
of Newberrv would he asked to give
the reasons why they should desire to
form q new club. He had never heard
Of it being done before. 1t is enough
for US to know that they are Democrats
and willing to abide by the decisions
of the party and that is stated III their
petition.
Delegate Cromer said that his reason
for asking for the names on the petit
ton was that we might know who were
asking for this new club. If we 60
into a statement of reasons on both
sides it will create a wrangle and 1t
will do no good. If we refuse this
petition it will set bad precedent and
we had better let them have their
club.
Delegate Hair: "Don'tsce how any
one cali vote intelligently unless the
facts are brought bef' re this body"
Delegate Duncan IN order to act in
telligently We ought to know what we
Go. We had this same trouble OF new
clubs two years ago. When there was
a minority that couldn't rule it wanted
to 60 off and form a new club. We
have only eleven ants in No. and II
this thing is started they might want
to 90 Oft end form q new club"
Delega w. H. Hunt: "These gen
tlemen have come here saying they
wanted to form new club. We have
seen the statements from both sides
in the paper. The petition states they
will abide the result of the party and
the constitution of the party. There
are fifty-three of them-a pretty good
size, club. Lets don't do anything
that will fan what may be only a
spark into flame. Let us so act that
when the primary is over we can stand
together like brothers. five have dis
cussion we will get bad blood stirred
up and there is no telling where it Will
end"
Delegate Duncan thought that both
the gentlemen who had spoken were
contending for bad cause and they
knew it.
Delegate Cromer: 81 don't Go any
thing in private that object to being
known il public. don't DC anything
in the night that / am ashamed OF in
the day"
DELEGATE Duncan: "Can / ask the gen.
tleman question ,"
Delerate Cromer: YES, sir.n
Delegate Duncan: "Is it necessary
to form new clubs where the ground
is already occupicd?' ?'
Delegate Cronler: "ls there any
