convention unanimously endorsed
Thee King, of Dyersburg, for comp
troller. This was one of the anus |
ing scenes of the convention. Chair
man Hotter ruled with as undisturb-
ed countenance as Speaker Reed. |
Mr.. Smitheal loudly demanded rec
lognition, but failed to catch the eve
of the chairman until the vote was
declared, and if there was any op-
position to Mr. King it failed to
make itself heard in the vote. Mr..
Smitheal was recognized and spoke
in epposition to the endorsement.

Mr.. King in view of the fact that
Upton county had several candi-

withdraw the resolution. This was
done without vote and the secre-

the minutes. The fact remained,
however, that Mr. King had prac-

convention for comptroller, and if it
