AT 9:OI the motion OF Il. ID. Carter
that the polls be kept open one hour was
put and carried. The chairman an
nounced that at 1904 the polls would
be closed. The voting then proceeded as \
rapidly as the secretary could write the |
names of the voters, b. ii. Cosby and |
l.. NJ. Bourne being appointed tellers.
In twenty minutes most of the voting |
was over and Mr.. Bourne moved that |
the convention proceed to the election of
delegates to the county convention.
Gen. Davidson thought that 81 dele
number and as the delegates would he
instructed he thought 10 sufficient
number to represent 81.
Ceph. Blanton moved for 81 delegates
to represent 81. The motion was
seconded and when put division called
for, the chairman being unable to decide
as to the fate of the motion. The crowds
separated to right and left. The result
was in accordance with scripture, the
ones on the left losing by vote OF 81 to
so.
The voting for delegates then proceed.
cd at rapid rate, printed list being
supplied with 81 names.
I'M. Gudgcr then moved for an cxten
sion OF halt an hour in order to allow the
men who were up town purchasing sup
plies time to take the supplies home and
return to the meeting.
Mr.. Kerr gained the floor and said,
"Mr. Chairman, think no man should
be deprived OF his vote, but we have had
ample time and we should not extend
the time. This meeting has been talked
about for two weeks
Mr.. Gudger said he did not know of it
and that there would bt complaints. He
added that he would support the candi-
dates, whoever they proved to be. The
convention again divided to the right
and left and again the ones on the left
were in the minority. Mr.. Gudger's
motioncd prevailed and he disappeared.
There was no more voting tor about
twenty minutes, and then about a score
OF men came, the last one depositing his
ballot exactly OH the minute for closing.
The votes being counted, out OF the
first 90 votes 20 were for Adams. This
caused much enthusiasm among his ad
hercnts
The Adams men say today that the I
. understanding was that in this primary
there was to be no formal vote or test
of the strength OF congressional can
didates, and that therefore their
men were not out in full force
Had it been understood by them that
: there was to be vote they think the re-
suit would have been different. The
p Crawford men on the contrary were ex
i pecting a vote, the Adams men say, anc
p had printed ticket ready for the cmer
gencv and were out in force.
, Full result, however. showed for con
n gressional candidates, 10 for Adams ant
= 80 for Crawford, which raised a ycl
from the Crawford men.
;, For the judicial ticket the votes cas-
8 showed 50 for II. b. Carter and 6l TO
Il Judge Shu'ord. For the delegates thcr
" were Is votes for the published list am
90 scratched tickets. The number O
votes cast for Congressional choice wa
Il 159, which tailed with the number o
Il names recorded by the secretary.
