Mccarthy of the Committee on Per
manent Organization reported recon-
mcnding that the temporary organi-
zation be made permanent. The
recommendation was adopted almost
unanimously.
Col. II. L. Donovan reported the
brief and inciSivc resolutions, which
were adopted. These resolutions are
as follows:
The Democratic party of Cook
County in convention assembled re-
atlirms its allegiance to the Demo
cratic principles as enunciated by
the State and national platforms and
indorses ana upholds the Democratic
administrations in the general, state,
county and city governments: and it
appeals to the President of the Unit.
ed States in filling the Federal Of
fees in Chicago to appoint TO them
citizens in harmony with the ideas of
the people of this community, rather
than persons whose interests lie
wholly beyond our boundaries "
At this point Chairman Trude
made his speech accepting the per-
manent chairmanship. He said;
at is now an opportunc time for
me to express my thanks for this
honor. In no wise intending to re-
fleet on your intelligence, let me say
that the best oratory to go forth from
| this convention will he nominations
Of the highest order. No man should
be nominated in n spirit OF Jest or
carelessness. No man should be nom
/ mated whose character is not un-
/ tarnished and whose legal and ju-
dicial capacity is not recognized.
With such candidates no campaign
! speeches will be necessary. The
/ Judges are the administrators of your
estates, indirectly the protectors Of
your lives and regulations. The Coun-
ty Commissioners dispense large sums
of money raised by taxation. 1t is inn
portant that great care should be ex-
ercised in the selection Of our candi-
dates for these offices. Gentlemen,
| thank you.
Stephen ID. May moved that nomi-
mating speeches be dispensed with.
This brought Judge Moran TO his feet
to oppose it. lie said that at the
proper time he desired to give rea-
sons in a respectful and proper man
ner for the nomination Of a certain
distinguished jurist for Judge. He
appealed for the privilege Of gentle
manly and reasonable discussion.
That was American and Democratic.
He was loudly cheered. Later, how
ever, when he announced that he
wanted to give reasons why a man
not a Democrat - namely, Judge
Gary 49, should be nominated, there
were not SO many cheers
Aid. Coughlin, in reply to Judge
Moran, said that at the last Demo
cratic County Convention Judge
Moran presided. That convention,
with his approval, adopted a resoIu-
tion dispensing with nominating
speeches.
TO this Judge Moran replied that
while that was true there were none
but Democrats nominated there. The
man he proposed to nominate was
not a Democrat. lie wanted at the
proper time to give reasons why
Judge Gary should be nominated by
+ this convention. He did not ask the
convention TO decide the question
until it had heard the reasons. This
was Democratic; it was rational.
Col. Donovan said there would be
Republican convention in few
days, at which opportunity would
doubtless be afforded for giving the
reasons for nominating Judge Gary.
c. S. Darrow moved the previous
question, which was carried, as was
Immediately the motion TO dispense
with nominating speeches
Col. Donovan moved that before
nominations were made the wards
and country towns be called for their
selections for Central Committee
men. This was done. Considerable
warmth was developed in some OF
the ward delegations over the ,elec-
tIon of these men, and a ro, call Dt
the delegations WIS necessary In
somc cases, In one or two eases the
delegates became va warm that per.
