was practically done, Chairman Dia
mond again renewed his request for &
committee on resolutions and the con
vention gratified his wish, which haC
been constantly repeated throughout
the work of the convention, and au
thoriZed him to appoint such com.
mittee.
He appointed as such committee
Messrs. Reed, A. r. Pau, Jr., and
Duane, and then settled back in his
chair with satisfied feeling that the
interests of Democracy were safe.
The chair was authorized to ap-
point a county committee on consul
tatlon with the various candidates.
At this juncture the chair ran
against another snag. He held that
the Demo. portion of the ticket had
been merely named but were not real
ly nominated, and he wanted the two
conventions to meet together to rati-
fly the work. Unless this was done
the ticket would not be legal and he
was afraid their afternoons work
would amount to naught.
Mr.. Zimmerman said that in the
state convention that matter had
been left to the state committee, and
if that held there he thought it could
safely be left to the county committee
in this case.
''But there is no committee" said
the chair, 81 have just been authoriz-
ed to appoint one."
"Well, replied Zimmerman, "the
old committee will hold until you ap-
point new one," and the tangle was
gotten out Of by authorizing the
county committee to fill all vacancies
