Jack Chinn aud Senator Charles J

the latter. Chinn asked him II he was
armed and on receiving negative
reply told him to go and arm himself.
Bronston replied that he would In less
than 10 minutes. "You are d-n

away and Bronston went for a gun.

place for holding the State convention
to nominate candidates for State offices.
A large crowd was present and great
interest was manifested. 1t is said that

his own way. Ollie James was elected
to succeed the Senator as committee
mar from the State at large. The
delegates to the State convention will
be chosen by county and legislative
mass meetings June IL. The represen-

cast for Bryan and all known demo:

who pledge themselves 10 support the
nominees are entitled to participate in
the conventions. There was no dispo-
sition TO discriminate against gold dem.
ocrats, but a general desire to extend
the olive branch. The meeting was
harmonious and the results seem to be
satis factory.
