LEXINGTON, KY, July 12-The Re-
publican state convention today com
pleted all Its work except the adoption |
of a platform and the nomination of a |
ticket. 1t would have nominated part of |
the ticket tonight but for the fact that it
became entangled in mistakes regarding |
the adoption of the report on rules. The
majority report was adopted without TAX
Ing any vote on the minority report, and
those favOring the latter not only OBJ |
1ected, but insisted that they voted for |
the majority report when thew thought |
they were voting for the minority re-
port. The convention adjourned while
points of order were being raised
The evening session was not ono or
parliamentary decorum. The delegates
were kept waiting for over two hours
over committee on credentials. and they
were not IN good humor after that time
over any questionable rulings or anv-
thing else.
Inc Taylor men have had their way In
everything today at the district meet
lhgs and committee meetings and in the |
convention. They have the permanent
organization, and have reconciled the
colored element by making a negro sec
retary OF the convention, with a long list
of white assistants.
