D. m ON their respective days, and the
apportionment win be one delegate to
every seventeen votes and every major
fractions thereof, cast for the chief JUS
tdce Of the supreme court at the iaSt
election, and one egatR-at-large TOT
each election precinct; provided, that
no election precinct shall have less
than two delegates. Precinct No. 90 at
Murray was allowed one extra dele
gate. making the total membership of
the conventions 446. 1t was decided
to postpone action with regard to the
convention to nominate candidates Ior
county offices and a legislative ticket,
unti1 after the two state conventions
are held
All the members of the committee
were present. either in person or by
proxy, except Mrs. Mary Gflmer, and
but three mem bers were represented
by proxy. There were many warm dis
cussions during the meeting, but very
little diSsension cropped out and the
subject of the differences between NC
Kinley and silver Republicans only IN
trudad itself twice, and then indirectly.
A. L. Simondi inquired at the begin
ming If the committee proposed to pro-
vide for the election of delegates to the
Ogden convention. 1t was the sense OF
the committee that 1t should, and the
matter dropped.
1t was when Dennis Eichnor, who
held a proxy for G. w. Symon6, op-
posed the plan of apportionment ana
proposed that the delegates be elected
to the state convention direct by eject
ing only las delegates at the primaries
and have their election certified 20 by
tTk. county chairman, that the prlncl-
pal contest of the meeting occurred,
and the factfonal war was most proGnl-
nently injected into the proceedings;

and some OF the members lntifna1eu
that they Thought Mr.. EichuloT was
fearful lest silver Republicans get con-

such idea. and contended that he was
actllared simply for a desire Tor mar

sions which might arise among tne
a4S if that plan were adopted, as TO

Mr. F,ichnor's plan was defeated,
however having only four votes IN It's
