berry propounded question to the
Democratic Executive Committee at
their meeting last night that favored
q staggerer. At every attempt t.
swallow and digest the question tho
committee was seized with violent
attack of political cramp collie. They
spent two hours and q half writing
over the problem during which
10000 resolutions, more or less,
were introduced and killed, and it
was midnight before they got final
answer.
Here ia copy Of the formidable
question:: "Whether or not the sug.
gestion of candidate by the recent
prohibition convention makes the
person who ID suggested and accepts
q candidate in tho Democratic pri-
mary such us is forbidden by the
torms Of the pledge prescribed by
the constitution Of the Democratic
party Of this State"
Finally Mr.. Winkler moved that
tho answer be 'No, ho will not bo
debarred." An aye and nay vote
WAS taken and developed a tie. So
the motion was lost.
MIR. l.. j. Williams introduced the
following:
GAS the nominee Of the Prohibi-
ton faction, yes, he is debarrcd; If
be is an individual Prohibition can.
didate within the Democratic party,
no he is not debarred."
Mr.. Dial, of Laurens, introduced
the following as substitute:
ave interpret the constitution AS
iisproving factionul nominations,
but if tho pledge is signed by the
candidates as individuals their votes
will be counted"
This was adopted and the COM
mittee sighed with relief, and after
indulging in little breathing spell
the other business before the com
mite was disposed Of.
